great game
very good game. became a bit routine after a while, and the puzzles were a bit predictable near the end - if it were any longer this would have been a problem, however i thought the game flowed perfectly.
took me a while, but i managed to get the 'real' ending. don't wanna give anything away, but it's worth the struggle. :)
Sonny 2
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars April 26, 2009
Intriguing, to say the least
I'll admit I had no idea the "Sonny" series even existed 'til this submission, and boy am I kicking myself in the ass for that now. After completing this game and being well on my way to being the victor of the first, I gotta say, man... hats off to you!
Elements of old-school RPGs mixed with the not-so-irritating style of newer ones gave this game a perfect balance. It's short, to the point, and most importantly, it keeps you intrigued enough to actually care what the ending may hold - and that's good given it's overall length. Long but not too long, I pumped a couple of hours into this game before reaching the final cinematic, and didn't lose any interest along the way.
The graphics are fantastic - not overdone, but not lazily slapped together. The battle scenes as well as the towns, scenery, and characters seem to be put together meticulously, so great job on that.
The music and sound effects did a great job for setting the tone of wherever you may be and whatever you may be doing there, but to me, the voice acting is where the audio really shines in this one. Elements such as this help to keep you drawn in and develop some character development along the way.
It's challenging, though it could stand to be a little more-so - I played through as the Hydraulic Zombie and the further along I went, the battles almost became progressively easier. I could tell the programming and enemies' abilities were exactly what they needed to be, but as stated, no battle was especially tough to make me fear for my characters' lives.
A great game overall... I think I actually appreciate this more than the mainstream RPGs (*cough*finalfantasy*cough*) - it's straightforward, yet detailed enough to have kept me wanting to reach the end of this bad boy.
Megaman X: RPG Chapter 0
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 26, 2009
Ah, Megaman RPGs...
"Oh God... another Megaman RPG. Great."
After playing those other two, erm... 'lackluster' Megaman RPGs on here, I didn't have much hope for this one. Thank God you proved me wrong.
I'm not sure how much influence from the official Megaman RPG-style games (Battle Net? I have no clue...) you drew for this one, and frankly I don't care. This game is good and it's got me excited for the next installment. Gah, how I hate waiting!
The whole game just brought forth an original spin on what is hands-down my favourite classic video game series of all time. Battle Chips? Dunno where the hell they came from, but I like it! It's got all the elements of your standard RPG, what with your items, upgrades, armour, weaponry, so on and so forth, and if this is but a taste of what we'll be eating in the next few courses, you can rest assured I'll be tipping ten percent. ;-)
Scoring 8 for the "buggy, demo" feel overall, though that was not enough to keep me from enjoying this game the way it was meant to be enjoyed. It's good to see someone finally giving Megaman the homage he deserves. Keep it up.

ROCKandROLL led zep live
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars February 28, 2011
hmm
i've gotta say, when i saw this on the rock charts i thought to myself "great, someone killed a great zeppelin song and threw it on the internet." needless to say, i was very pleasantly surprised! fantastic instrumentals (guitarist rocked that solo, as mentioned below), and it was pretty cool to hear a woman doing justice to plant's work. definitely will be checking out your other stuff.
also, i must ask; what nationality is your singer? i love the "flare" given to the vocals by the accent.
awesome work, guys.

Dr Wily's Revenge
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars September 30, 2010
very nice cover
nice, jammy piece. i really enjoyed how the main guitar was just chugging away in the the "less-is-more" style, leaving the leads to the synth - the chords in the background really set it off and gave it that extra bit of atmosphere, so good job on that. the drums could have some fills / tom runs, but the standard hi-hat / double bass / snare combo really did well here.
good job on this one. 5/5
Rock'n Temple || Zelda 2
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars September 28, 2010
I'll have to side with Jesse...
...at the expense of my review being marked "unuseful" or "abusive," simply because 500,000 other people who've downloaded this disagree with my opinion.
Really, what warrants this such a high score? The fact that it's a Zelda tune, or the fact that it's improperly marked under Heavy Metal? Generic Rock mix at best, for one.
Secondly now, listen to the mix. As Jesse stated, this is merely a Zelda II MIDI processed through GarageBand with nasty mixing skill, as well as a default-o drum line. Nothing really impressive.
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it all the same, I just don't see what the big deal is. The mix is horrible and the fake guitar samples are disgusting. I guess people will eat whatever they're given, though, even though I guarantee a good majority of the people who've downloaded this have not played Zelda II, much less enjoyed it.
To each their own, I guess.
