"Pure, unadulterated brilliance."

submission: Hamlet in 60 Seconds

date: January 13, 2008

Well done on this. I never really liked Shakespeare's plays throughout my study of English Lit, but this gave Hamlet an amusing twist. My favourite part of your version had to be the end, where everyone dies with a vague kind of 'oh well' feel. Fantastic.

Score: 9

"Nice, but a bit slow."

submission: Achilles

date: January 13, 2008

The game was good. I particularly enjoyed the little combo moves you could do, and how you could pick up a new spear from a corpse after throwing your original. My only problem with the game was that the pace was a little slow, (although this is natural for flash games), and when it came to the boss, he tended to 'overlap' Achilles, making it impossible for either character to hit the other.

Other than those small problems, it was great, and definitely worthy of my favourites list.

Score: 6

"Good, but needs more."

submission: LightSaber Flash Tutorial

date: January 13, 2008

This was good - you obviously know your way around Flash. A few things I would say, however, is that lightsabers generally look much better with a straight blade with a rounded end, rather than an oval. Also, you should have spent more time on handle of the lightsaber, as I noticed the handle you added to yours looked rushed and not greatly detailed.

The general look of the flash was nice, as was the interaction, but the simplicity of the content of the actual tutorial let you down slightly. Otherwise, nice work.

Score: 10

"Classic Burnt Face Man"

submission: Burnt Face Man 5

date: January 6, 2008

I really enjoyed this one, especially the bits with 'Have a nice day Man". An essential must-see. Added to favourites.

Score: 8

"Short but very nice"

submission: Teddies Seasons Greeting

date: December 27, 2007

I know you said in your author comments that this was your first portal submission, but it can't be your very first, from the looks of it you have a fair amount of experience working with flash.

Anyway, as for the actual content - the graphics were very nice, and even though it was short it was a nice little christmas card style animation. Good job.

Score: 9

"You can't be dead."

submission: A Bahamut's Xmas Tale 2-2

date: December 23, 2007

I don't believe it. Dragons can't die.

Anyway, I enjoyed the conclusion to this project, and particularly the debut by Coop, complete with goatee. But what of the fate of Bahamut and BlueHippo?!

Merry Christmas man =D

Score: 9

"Hmm... This is a nice christmas tree..."

submission: A Bahamut's Xmas Tale 2-1

date: December 23, 2007

Good stuff - Unlike Coop, I thought that the un-synchronised voices for the Graham Jr brothers added a nice effect, contrasting them to well-rehearsed carol singers. I'm looking forward to watching part 2 shortly... =D

Score: 8

"Delightful"

submission: Graham's Birthday

date: December 20, 2007

I enjoyed the twist in the story where Graham thought, perhaps somewhat foolishly, that he could enjoy watching tubgirl all day, only to be thwarted by the internets. Well and truly owned. =)

Score: 6

"Good first try"

submission: Public Service Chef

date: December 19, 2007

For your first flash attempt this was really good. You're obviously a pretty talented artist, as all the graphics were done nicely. Obviously there's room for improvement, such as the sound quality and lip synching, and there could have been more animation, but I'm sure you'll learn all that as you progress with flash.

Keep at it, you have a lot of potential. And bear in mind that a lot of reviewers can be pretty harsh with what they say, so don't let negative reviews get you down.

Good job man.

Score: 9

"Nice take on the Sims"

submission: Gamer Tonight-Abused Sim

date: December 15, 2007

I enjoyed the montage of apparent reality with the virtual character of the sim. I liked the way you used the Sims icons, like the relationship one with the minus sign when he was being insulted, etc. It was also effective how you used the Sims nonsensical language, and imposed a translation over it, like in interviews with foreigners on the news.

Good observational humour.
