Oh yes, i forgot the punctualization and capitalization.... Well, i put Capital letters in some words to make them sound more important, and some words i put Entirely into Capitals, to show how even more important they are. The punctuation is really hard, because i have no idea, where to put  ,

Colony

Immediately the game starts with you thrown into the game as Captain Baylet and must save the Colony through 6 missions.Then master the game against the CPUs. After that maybe you have what it takes to go into the dog eat dog world of online play and beat the master MBA.

Pros:
1. This game has decent graphics.
2. The game is very playable and doesn't get hard to fast.
3. It has a fantastic online mode with a great community of people still playing it.
4. It can be played over and over again with you trying to come up with new strategies to beat the computer on hard hard.
5. This game has 7 buildings 17 units and 46 buttons to press in the whole game that means this game is simple very simple but 46 buttons that all do different things means the combinations are endless.
6. The computer mode is fun for when no one is online.

Cons
1: There are only 17 units that means this game is tiny and people think they have mastered it in an hour after beating the campaign.
2. The campaign is too short only 6 missions long.
3. The campaign for experienced players is too easy.
4. In the computer mode you don't see your own weaknesses because as you play on higher and higher levels the computer doesn't get stronger it just cheats more and more.
5. As you get deeper into gmes it becomes a huge saveup of units and the graphics and game engine will fall apart when someone attacks ruining some games.
6. There are hackers everywhere in online play and the game is filled with little glitches that can be used to cheat.

All in all this game is fantastic an endless pit of fun with online play.
10/10 The best game on AG and one of the most favorited games on AG.

I'll join too. I'll try to write a review as soon as I can. Just a question: can I post here a review I wrote several months ago?  I guess the answer is no, but I have to ask...

Only a game comment merit disqualifies you. If you have contest and/or bug report merits, you need to link to each merit.

To quote the opening post:

SIPPYCUpS is available to everyone who has not already completed SIPPYCUpS, but only users with 0 merits before signing up can earn the merit right away after completing SIPPYCUpS.*

So, you can do it, unless you have already completed the course. You won't get a merit, if you have already received a game merit.

I'll sign up. However like Kegaumongo, what if I've already tried for merits and saved my comments in text documents? Would I be able to start off with those and just tweak them a little, or would I have to start on a completely blank slate?

Relating to that, what if I've made a comment on a game not necessarily merit-worthy but still had a decent amount of information in it as to not be spam? Would I be able to do the same game and make a completely new comment for a merit or would I have to choose a different game that I haven't commented on at all?

Top choices would be Colony, Sonny 2, Loved, however I've already tried for merits on all of those, hence them being top choices.

Other choices could be Dodge, Bubble Tanks 2, Electric Man II, Raze 2, Stick War, Epic Battle Fantasy 3, Death vs Monsters II, and more of my faves.

Note 1: You cannot use BBCode in the comments (That means no bold or italics), and there will not be spaces between paragraphs. The formatting most of you are choosing may look terrible in the comments. Please test them out in your own comments and click view all comments to see if you are satisfied with the way it looks.

REPLIES:
@70_70_70 It doesn't matter what game you pick. I'm not keeping track of what games you guys are picking. If I can't tell from your review, it's not going to be a good review.
@GhostOfHorror You can take as long as you'd like.
@xerox Your grammar might be an issue. You should have someone proofread for you.
@zonic98 Anyone can do this, but if you already have a merit from a game comment, you cannot earn the guaranteed merit. If it's not a merit from a game comment, you need to submit proof.
@keguamongo Sure thing.

REVIEWS:
@Patrick2011 Why do you like the graphics (L1) and menu (L3)? Rate of difficulty increase (L1-2) and goal reached message (L2) are specific. Graphics and menu are not. If you can't say why or if it can't be inferred, it's best to leave it out because it doesn't add value. The following sounds like a fluff sentence: "The screen is not too big, and lag is not an issue with this game." I'm not sure what it adds. You can probably leave out the goal reached message unless you really really like it. A game about reaching a goal and not telling you you reached the goal would be bad, but if it did tell you, then that's just par for the course. You're also contradicting yourself. This is a problem with a lot of reviews that look good on the surface but do not read as well. You like the rate of difficult increase (L1-2) but late game is too difficult (L7)? That's how it's reading.
@ImTheMostManlyMan I am not at all following your logic behind the paragraph breaks. It just makes it harder to read.
@VonHeisenbourg You have to take into account that Light People on Fire is an older game and that there is a sequel. Achievements weren't a "thing" back then for flash games. Armorbotz was replaced some time later with the current Armor Game high score board.
@xerox It's not bad. There are grammar and punctuation problems, but it's still understandable. You're using too many ellipses, extra periods, and commas. Capitalize the first word beginning a sentence. Capitalize "I". Put a space between punctuation and the next word. Put a space between a word and opening parentheses. Uncapitalize Guns (L3). Remove the comma after "is" (Storyline L2).  Remove the comma after "sword" (Storyline L3). Use "weakest" instead of "most weak" (Storyline L3). The "Storyline" section could just be one paragraph. Remove the comma after "out" (Bugs L1) "It's" stands for "it is". Its is possessive like his or her (Bugs L3). Your rating is really arbitrary and doesn't add anything to the review.
@royalguy List format isn't going to work out. Lists are almost always a crutch in place of something more cohesive. Pro 1 and Con 5 talk about the same thing. Pro 3 and Con 6 talk about multiplayer. There's also discussion on campaign and computer modes. You can combine related pros and cons into better cohesive paragraphs.
