"Better...still not impressed"

submission: Shrooms Solitaire

date: August 27, 2008

It was incredibly easy to mis-click in this game, wasting oh-so-precious seconds. Furthermore, the gameplay was repetitive, and I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at the end. Thus, I am still left waiting for YouGame to take their projects up a notch.

Score: 0

"Here's why:"

submission: Lightning Line

date: August 27, 2008

Flashy things don't give me problems, and I was about to go blind. Please, for the sake of not harming people unintentionally, don't post this stuff.

Score: 0

"Here's the scoop:"

submission: The Squid Zone

date: August 27, 2008

There was no plot, it wasn't random enough to justify no plot, and it moved way too fast to make any sense of what there was. Try improving in those areas before you submit something.

And pandhandling for fives impresses no one.

Score: 10

"Note to self: Download."

submission: Gift Wrapped (Original Mix)

date: August 27, 2008

This contains everything that trance should be: ambience, rhythm, and power all rolled into a neatly wrapped package (pardon the pun, if you will.) 10 of 10, and a chance to get a spot on my as-yet nonexistent playlist if I remember to put it there. :P

Score: 9

"Love some good metal"

submission: REBORN (final version)

date: August 27, 2008

From what I know of metal, it's really easy to screw it up. This, however, was sheer beauty, a wonderful concoction of riffs and decibels.

Only reason I give a 9, is because the growling seemed awfully quiet. I have a friend who's a metal growler, and she (yes, she, for all the nonbelievers out there) can belt it out like Armaggedon is already here and signing autographs. Other than that, I loved it. Great work.

Score: 9

"I gave it 4..."

submission: Orchestral Confrontation

date: August 3, 2008

...but only because it would sound better with real instruments. The melody was excellent.
