"I couldn't love this series more even if I tried."

submission: Smash Kingdom

date: January 1, 2010

Celebrating and mocking something always requires perfect equilibrium, and here, it's totally nailed. Like all collections, wether made by several people or not, there are some jokes that are funnier than others, but as a whole, this series remains one of my favorites.

Score: 10

"One of the funniest movies I've seen in a while."

submission: Left 4 Speed 2

date: December 26, 2009

The brilliant mix of hilarious voice-work, great writing, and animation that hardly has any comparison puts it over the top.

Score: 7

"The flaws from the first are replaced by others."

submission: Mario Combat Deluxe

date: December 5, 2009

There's now more than 1 enemy type, the game is fairly harder, and the new animated art style looks totally fine, but there have been a lot of other things changed that I simply didn't care for. The move set attempts to emulated the Super Smash Bros. set, which is fine, but some moves are barely useful and others are heavily overpowered. The plus, the game is heavily slowed down, and there aren't any moves that can let you simply plow through enemies at awesome speed like in the first Mario Combat.
For a "Deluxe" edition, the changes made to the original are rarely for the better. It's still a decent game, but I'd take the first game over this one any day.

Score: 10

"It's hard to beat Brentafloss."

submission: Dr. Mario with Lyrics

date: December 1, 2009

Though his game lyrics have always been solid and funny, I feel that this is one of his best. The fantastic animation doesn't hurt, either. Though I can always watch this several times over with a smile on my face, I couldn't help but want just a bit more. But, hey, that's the obvious answer: More. It's simply a sign that this is just plain good. You'd be hard pressed to find a better lyrics... making... person... what's the word? Whatever... this one deserves its praise 100%.

Score: 10

"Visual artistry."

submission: DASH it!

date: November 19, 2009

So much insane stuff is one screen at once that it took me multiple replays just to take it all in. Above all else, this flash wins for being creative and one of the most unique FMVs on Newgrounds. By far.

Score: 9

"Short, but sweet."

submission: Email > Mail

date: November 18, 2009

The animation was nice and all and the absence of voice acting works quite well, but the ending didn't really feel all that satisfying. Still, this was one of the better flashes I've seen this week.

Score: 10

"You are the kind of Mario parodies."

submission: Dumbass Luigi

date: November 12, 2009

The sprites and animation are slick and stylized. The jokes are creative and hilarious. The action, though extremely short, is awesome. What else could you want?

Score: 10

"One of the most creative flashes I've ever seen."

submission: Hoodoos

date: November 2, 2009

The sheer volume of imagination is incredible and how effective it is. Not much makes sense, but with originality in the best of places, this flash well deserves its high score. If surrealism is the key to creativity, then I'm not complaining: Let nothing make sense and let us all have a great time with incredible flashes like these.

Score: 1

"What the hell was that?"

submission: Ni99a Penguin Reloaded

date: November 2, 2009

It's inoffensive outside of the title, I'll give it that, but everything else was absurdly bad. Those had to be the most incredible penguins ever, by the way.

Score: 6

"Great. Now I'm hungry."

submission: Cheesecake?

date: November 2, 2009

The lyrics are decent, but some of the sound editing is tough to make out. Also, it would've been nice to have something to look at besides just plain text. Imagine if the Sandwich MV only had plain text.
I can totally tell that there was some effort put into the lyrics, but almost everything else is a little lacking. Remake this, make it a little longer, add in some animation, and you're golden. I guarantee it.
