"WOW!"

submission: The Immigrant

The song is great! The animation is great! It is a proper old-school 'Gorillaz' style music video. I loved it. The screenplay was brilliant, and you have inspired me to finish my huge pile of projects, because if they make an impression only half as big on some Flash artists, it will be a success. The backgrounds are cleverly simple, but fantastic with the characters and objects above them. I write this as I watch it a second time, and wow, that blurring quick moving effect at the beginning is so cool, I'll have to experiment with that. In fact the only 'bad' thing I can say is the replay button was a bit off centre, but it didn't take away the overall brilliance of this true music video.

Score: 9

submission: S.A.M.V. 5

Lord of the Fries! Had me laughing before it even started with that title :) This was exceptionally funny, and although I haven't been on Newgrounds long enough to have seen the previous installments, I will take a look at them, because if they are on this level of comedy, I may wet my pants.

Well drawn characters and scenes, the voice-overs were great and diverse, and the style was pretty cool. The humour won it it's score though, and I believe this would make quite a successful sitcom.

Good Flash, I'll be waiting for the next installment.

Score: 9

"Very good..."

submission: Beyond Gaming

date: July 2, 2005

There were a lot of great styles and the sounds chosen were great ( I don't know if they were pre-chosen by the organizer ), but the problem was with the buttons. There were a few buttons missing, and when you pressed 'back to menu' on True_Darkness' piece, it went and played somebody else's.

Otherwise, it was a good, quite original collaboration, and I'm giving you a 9 as a measure of the effort it must have taken to make all the things individually, and for X_D's work on putting it into one file. I will go back and watch some more :)

Score: 9

"Hilarious!"

submission: McDarnold's - Part One

date: June 28, 2005

Wow! That was exceptionally humourous, great style using the backgrounds and the drawn characters. The actually design of the characters was great and suited the comical style! The lip-syncing was very, very good too! I hope I love Part 2 as well!

Score: 8

"You made it!"

submission: GG's Ultimate Arcade

You got what you wanted, and you finished the game in time! Well done, it's got a great selection too! I like the tennis game still, I'll play it all now and see what I can do!

Score: 10

"The best movie of the year..."

submission: Xombie: Chapter 6

date: June 21, 2005

Let me congratulate you on this absolute masterpiece. It is absolutely flawless. The graphics have improved (I saw that linear shading!), and they are now in such a wonderful style that it makes the whole series look incredible. The way you have drawn the charaters gives an extra feel on top of an amazingly good storyline, and finishing on a cliffhanger... well what can I say... The amount I'm awestruck from seeing this movie is added to by the fact there is now a chilling feel to the series, it has become an adventure that grabs one's attention so much, that they are sucked into the world of the movie. The menu was great - simple in idea - well executed in design. I suppose their could've been more special features, and the movie wasn't that funny or violent.

However, there is no other rating anyone with an eighth of a brain can give this other than a 10. The 'Xombie' movies have become one of the series that people will wait for. In my opinion, this bettered any of the movies submitted so far this year, including 'There She Is step 2' and 'Valhalla Knights'. 'Xombie' has earnt a place in the all-time hall of Flash fame - this is simply sublime. 100% - full stop.

Score: 8

"A great idea..."

submission: Pass the lightsaber

date: June 20, 2005

... I enjoyed watching this a) because I looked at the thread and you know it's like waiting for a game or a movie to come out in the shops and b) because it had variation in styles. To be honest, some of the videos were great, some were blammable, but together it formed an enjoyable piece, and although the graphics on some were fabulous, they didn't need to be overall, because the enjoyable 'lightsaber throw' concept was fun and amusing to watch. I gave you an 8 for Interactivity, purely because of the innovative menu Dark Side/Jedi idea - great way of making a good impression. Overall, I'll give you my vote, and I hope this gets a Daily Award, although it'll be unlikely to on today's quality of submissions... Well Done :)

A glitch with the scoring? That's odd. But it's been made well, even if I say so myself - SMASH! fans should love the new version!
