[Multiplayer Zombies!]

Nice try

I admit it's a pretty ambitious thing to attempt in your first game, and you've got the online side of things working (by the looks of it). But, asside from the problems mentioned by other people, it wasn't that interesting. I thought there was a lack of objective, i.e. stand there and shoot as many zombies as possible. Have some sort of storyline, with several levels, where you and your mates can progress further and further. More weapons, more levels, character customization? better animation, better sound. I know this sounds a lot, but it's what I think this game needs to become the frontpage title it deserves.

[Orchestrated Death]

Fun and fresh.

I've been waiting a long time for a game like this. I liked the concept and it's execution (no pun intended). However some parts weren't as obvious as others, and I found myself clueless as what to do next. I would say make another one purely because it's fun and new. Next time, more interactivity (possibly alternative options to kill the victim), give hints, visual clues, as to what the player must do next, maybe have the pentagram at the bottom as a special kill button where the Grim Reaper appears and kills the victim, this could become charged as the player plays, points earned towards it are accumulated according to the speed in which the player does everything, and style points to do with the way in which the player make events play out. The visuals were nice but they could be improved upon, but this isn't a major thing. Last thing I'd like to say is that I liked the effect you had, where the player had to press 5, like an arcade game. But what did this really add to the game? If a sequel is made, put some thought into making it part of the game.
I'm gonna give it a 9, because it's nearly there, but still has room for improvement. But I will give it a 5 because I'm a nice guy.

[Ignite people on Fire]

Mental..

Was absoulute chaos. I really liked it. Not enough variation though. The graphics were spot on, concept excellent, but like I said more variation please.

[The Last Stand 2]

I like it

It was much better than the first one. I loved the idea of being able to move from town to town. I think some of the traps should be re-usable though, ie the beartraps. I also think that the character ai is a bit rubbish. None of them can shoot! If you make another Last Stand, there should be more places to visit, better ai (if possible) and maybe every survivor has different skills, some are better at long distance aiming, some are better scavengers. That way you could pick who goes with you to scavenge and who gets what weapon. I also think that while scavenging you can collect special ability cards or summit, so if one of the survivors gets attacked while fighting you have a card to revive him and so on. All in all it is an excellent game.

[Rip Ricky Martin]

Dissapointing..

The subject of killing celebs has really been overdone. I'm not complaining as there are some games where you beat a celebrity into a bloody pile of pulp that are actually amusing and interesting. Don't get me wrong Ricky Martin really pisses me off but I was dissapointed and bored by the repetetiveness of the game and the style of game it is based on. Sorry, but next time try harder with graphics and interactivity.

EvilDave responds:

Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous. I found an interesting bug where you can just keep beating him, and beating him, and beating him, over, and over, and over again.
