Escartian's Game Review
Reviewing all free no download online games
I will review by request (just send me a link of the game)
Link to the game is right after the game name
This is my opinion of the game and you have complete rights to disagree
Corporation Inc
http://armorgames.com/play/7348/corporation-inc
Version 1.05
Now to start off, I have to say the game has great potential, but there is something which needs to be addressed and fixed. That's right...bugs. This game has too many bugs.
These that I encountered are:
The lazy janitors-the janitors stop moving or cleaning; this is not always because of the broken elevator either (see below)
The broken elevator-the elevator stops working (they do not move up or down)...
The foolish janitors-the janitors go running around the building (usually the area which they just cleaned) and not cleaning anything I think this may be the same glitch as the lazy janitor
the vanishing building- yes parts of the building vanish from time to time; it took me some time to realize that this glitch is caused by pop ups. (upgrading or the yellow notification bar on the bottom) Now this glitch rarely happens and it is fairly easy to fix. All you have to do is close the pop up. At least that is how it worked for me.
The annoying upgrades-upgrading can be difficult because the upgrade pop up is almost always wrong(this means I can waste money on nothing/cannot upgrade what I want to upgrade! this glitch only happens with the extra space and upgraded offices...
the non-closing upgrade-the
The worst is that often these glitches combine to form something even more annoying...
That is it for the bugs. Hopefully there will be less in later versions.
Music 7/10
The menu music is amazing, but the game has no good music of which to speak (only drums in the night and other percussion instrument in the day)
Plot 0/10
There is no plot.
Graphics 8/10
This game does not require good graphics and it would slow the game down had this game had better graphics. The graphics are pretty good, all things considered
Game-play 10/10
I love how the game works (this is assuming the game has less glitches and bugs) It is so simple and easy to learn and you learn on the go. The only problem I have is understanding what happiness does. Does it make workers work better if they are happier? The game does not explain, but I can always guess...
Repeatability 10/10
I would definitely play this game again (once the bugs are fixed of course)
Overall 10/10
Music and Graphics are not important for most online games. Plot is sometimes needed, but when it is there the repeatability get lowered. Overall great game...if there were not so many bugs.
I understand I talked about the bugs a lot, but the game really need some work. It feels like the game was rushed into completion.

Cheat codes are an added touch to the game...

Enemy 585
http://nitrome.com/games/enemy585/
We all know who Nintendo's Mario is. This game brings him back...until the point where you control the last enemy (#585 in case you missed the memo)...wait...did I say control? I meant to say that you play as a pile of blocks that help enemy on his way.
Music 10/10
Nitrome always has the best game music...
Graphics 10/10
Considering it is a flash game, and a Mario based game with graphics better then the old Mario Bros 3 (and a good thing to) I give this game a 10/10
Plot 6/10
The plot in some nitrome games is a clip in the beginning and a clip in the end (the other nitrome game have no plot or the plot is a few sentences in the end)
Repeatability 3/10
Ehh...This is a one time game...
Overall Game-play 9/10
This is an epic original platform game
Note: this game has many elements from Mario games, but it becomes more original later on. This is not a Mario clone.

By request of Endscape here it is: Monster Slayer (it would also be nice if you if you sent a link)
Monster Slayers
http://armorgames.com/play/7296/monster-slayers
Here it is, a game where you get to slay all the creatures you want, by controlling up to five heroes.
Plot : 5/10
Not the greatest plot (but who cares! You get to kill monsters!) You are the spirit of a king who was killed by this monster; you take your revenge on monsters by finding the very best soldiers, and thus you have formed the monster slayers... (note: this is not a spoiler because this is what you see in the very beginning of the game)
Music: 6/10
I am hard to please with music, but music does very little to my overall feel of the game (because I have a habit to play with the sound off...(no sound=no music) The music in this game is very short (about 2 or 3 seconds) and then it repeats nonstop.
Graphics 10/10
I am easy to please with graphics (I have a low expectation for free games). The graphics in this game are simple neat and nice. (In my opinion graphics do not give much to a game, but they can take away the feel of the game if they are horrible)
Repeatability ?/10
I do not know how to answer this... The game repeats itself often in a single game (you go in press your mouse on one of the four buttons and watch the show. Then you repeat this in the next battle. There are many battles to fight in, including the player made levels)
Multi-player (on-line interactions not rated)
This is not exactly multi-player. It is more like playing player built levels...the stars next to your army should help determine the strength of your army (say you have a 20 star army; this army still has a chance against a 22 star player level with the summon help; your 20 star army will have no chance against the 30 star army) and which level you have a chance of beating
Glitches
Only found one and that is the Glitch player level (999 star army)
Overall 9/10
It is a worthwhile game, but it can become boring after awhile.

Flipside
http://nitrome.com/games/flipside/
This has to be my favorite all time free on-line racing game ever!
Plot 1/10
You only get a sentence of story in the end when you beat the game
SPOILER
You are in prison and the first place winner gets set free, soonce you win first in all 15 levels you are set free...
END SPOILER
Music 10/10
Nitrome has the most epic music for games and this is no exception!
Gameplay 10/10
Sure there are a few glitches, but come one! Who here would not want to ride this motorcycle thing on the ceilings, on the walls, up elevators, upside down, and into almost deadly lasers...?(well maybe not the last one...)
Graphics 10/10
Very good graphics and the effects are good too. It is also nice that the graphics are not cpu intensive
2 Player Mode 10/10
The 2 player mode is just like one player but instead you get to race a friend (only on the same computer)
Repeatability 10/10
I played and beat this game three times already!
Sure I would go play it again...
Good Stuff
Graphics
Music
Racing Computers/Friends
Bad Stuff
Plot
Not getting first place
some glitches that force you to start over

By Endscape's request (also the only person thus far to comment on this thread other then myself)
Exit Path
http://armorgames.com/play/5917/exit-path
This is also a racing game, with its own twist. This game is a combination of racing and platforms.
Plot 5/10
Not much dealing with plot, just the few sentences here and there...
Graphics 10/10
Graphics are amazing. Customization of character also adds to the graphics.
Game-play: 9/10
This is just another platform game...one with good graphics
Music 10/10
Music is a good. It is fast paced as is most of the game.
Multi-player 10/10
This is the reason the game is so popular. You get to race against four other people. What else can you add to this game!?
Repeatability: You decide
This is very much based on how much you use multi-player because uni-player is very short. It takes less then 15 minutes on the first try.
Overall: Drum roll please...10/10
The multi-player is what really makes this game so great.
Pros
Multi-player
Graphics
Music
Cons
Short Single-player
no player created levels
(note: Platform Racer 1 and 2 would probably be much better games then this one if the graphics and music were improved. Platform Racer has a huge problem with hackers in Multi-player while Exit Path has none so far as I can tell.)

Not exactly super in-depth reviews and this whole forum is dedicated to the very idea of discussing the games. The comments connected to the games themselves are a good place to look for reviews also.

So... I don't see the point of this. It looks like a big ego looking to be fed to me. =P

hmmmm thats 1 thought, but heres another alderon who asked u hmmmm? if he wishes to voice his opinion somewhere they can be heard, seen, and easy to find then let him be. On a game page they will be seen, ignored, and quickly forgotten.

Super Treadmill
http://www.nitrome.com/games/supertreadmill/index.html
Not a very good game at all.
The graphics are retro. Ok they did this part pretty well even though I dislike retro graphics. (they even have the nitrome logo with the ân64â with a person blowing a cartridge
The plot is lame. This is about a guy who can not stop eating and trying to loose weight at the same time. The clips are sometimes funny though
The game play is poor but becomes slightly more interesting after level 15
This game has only one good thing...music...other then that I do not think this game has much to offer hence the short review. This game is barely worth playing through once.
Music 9/10
Plot 4/10
Graphics 3/10
Game-play 6.5/10
Repeatability 2.5/10
Overall 6/10

Some weaknesses in your argument are: People do not like to read super in depth reviews of games and I do not have all the time in the world to write these things.(most probably neither do you)
Do you know how many threads are completely about one game...yeah you could not count them with your fingers...or toes together...
I post my reviews here and except for the first post here, I only place my reviews here. (this means 1 ap instead of 2, so that does not help "my big ego" as you call it).
Some (most) of these games are not available on Armorgames.com so I could not post a comment on them.
