game review



I played Raiden X on http://www.raiden-x.net/. It was super cool. In this game you are a spaceship airplane thing that flies around and kills these other spaceship airplane things. To make yoiur killing more fun, easier, and more visually pleasing, you get upgrades. You can get a big purple electric beam, a blue laser, or machine guns and missles. Your ship changes colors with your weapon. The background is pretty poor graphics but the ships and weapons look pretty good. The controls are very easy to learn and the game gets intense in later levels. This game is quite fun compared to other side scrollers, and you could probably play it for like 200 hours before your eyes melted out your nose. If you don't play this game you must be "slow", and if you do play it but don't have fun you must be a zombie. Again, I don't know how the sound is because my computer for some reason doesn't have sound!

artificial intellegence

--Artificial intellegence is computer controlled characters.
--In first person shooters the AI plaays your computer controlled friends, and enemies.
--Most games don't have AI for online. Empire Earth does cause you can team up with humans against computer.
--My pong didn't have AI but some pongs do.
--The other paddle could have AI and move the other paddle, so that you don't have to have friends to play pong.

Review of Ether War


--This is a game I found on the internet. It's a flash game on Kongregate.com. Pretty sure that as long as you have internet, it will work.

--In this game you fly around as a little space ship and shoot these glowing balls that want to blow up your space station. Then you get money stuff and upgrade yor ship. Your ship gets really strong and you tear up the glowing balls but eventually they overwhelm you.

--It's a good game but I accidentally hit the wrong button and closed my window and it made me mad. i don't know how long it is since I didn't beat the first level. Once you start going and upgrade your ship the game is fun but your space station doesn't have a health bar so suddenly you get a game over.

--The graphics are cool but this computer doesn't have sound. It's got some fancy space colors and glow stuff, and the sound ends up being pretty cool if you do have it.

--I think you could play it until you got bored, which would be once you get sick of dying. And then never play it again cause you would have done everything you could.

--This is the same game as any other like it but with different colors. Like Geometry Wars but more upgrades and a better objective.

--It's a good game as long as you play it. Then you look back and you're like "Wow that was a waste of time".

--This game is a free computer game so if you pay for it you suck.

--There's a splash screen but it's an ad for the developer.

--There's a menu with links to more games by the developer.

--There's no instructions button but when you start the game it tells you how to play.

--When you lose it says "Defeated" and makes you go back to the menu.

--No other buttons.

game review


I'm reviewing Arachnophilia, and internet game published by DigYourOwnGrave and featured on Kongregate .com. To play go to http://www.kongregate.com/games/DigYourOwnGrave/arachnophilia
In this game you are a spider and you build webs to catch bugs.
This is probably the most amazing game ever since it's actually fun and not crappy like most online games.
The sound and graphics are good.
You could probably play the game at least a whole day, and then it'll be really lame.
Uncomparable, since I cant think of any other spider games.
Play this game!
