TheRaceman's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stick RPG]

Not A Bad Game!

I was doing sooooooooooooo good, then it froze on me after I killed a guy in a bar fight. I wish it hadn't done that. Very nice game, though. I enjoyed the short journey I took and will definitely do it again. Thanks!

Pretty Sweet Game!

I feel this is a really good display of talent and creativity. I feel some people review these works of art here at Newgrounds as if they were deciding on an addition to their website or looking to make a purchase. The real point here is craftsmanship. No, this game is not anywhere near PS2 or XBox standards, but I feel it is fair enough to be corteous to those who put their time and effort into creating these works and submitting them for our enjoyment. If something deserves to be Blammed, then by all means Blam it. That's part of the process. But if something comes along that shows real effort, though it may not be everything you've ever wanted from a Flash movie or game or what-have-you, it might be best to just refrain from leaving degrading comments. Constructive criticism is far better than, "Dude, that sucked!" or whatever else one might say for the lack of anything nice. Why discourage someone from continuing to grow when the simple fact that they are submitting work here puts them in a higher plane of creativity than the average Joe in the first place? I think this was a tremendous effort, and I'd love to see more, Rift. Thanks so much for submitting such a great piece. I'll get off my soapbox now. =)

[Flash Tutorial on Shading]

Awesome Tutorial!

As a newbie to the Flash scene who is working on his first project I found this tutorial very helpful. The idea of using shading and highlights hadn't even ocurred to me. What you showed me to do is very simple yet constructive. I'll probably be utilizing the very techniques you taught me on this first project. Thanks so much for the help, and I hope you create more of these.

A Fantastic Testament to the Power of Flash!

Not only is this a terrific game to play, ((So what if it doesn't function EXACTLY like the actual games????)) but the real beauty of this piece is that it was made entirely with Flash! I've seen a bunch of games that people have made with this very sweet program, but I've not yet had someone come along and say, "Remember that real popular game everyone used to play. Well, WHAP! Here's an almost picture-perfect replica." You did an amazing job and should be highly credited for your time, talent, dedication and energy. It's definately a piece worth showing as a testament to the great power and usability of Macromedia Flash when in the hands of someone as skilled as you. My highest respect goes to you, and my deepest pity and sympathy goes to those either jealous or simply indecent enough to have given your work bad reviews. Keep it up, and I hope your talent pays off for you.
