Game Title: Street Race 2 - Nitro

The Review: I've always been a fan of the racing genre, but what happens when you take sports and race cars and plop them in a linear racer? You get Age of Speed, but you also get this: Street Race 2 - Nitro.

Honestly that all I can think of when playing this, this is essentially a clone of Age of Speed.
Anyway let's do some proper reviewing. The game has 4 cars to choose from with 3 locked from the start, the only way to unlock them is to get in a certain position (not including sex positions)in a certain race, which is a nice idea to be honest.
Before you begin a race you are given the options of upgrading your selected car in 4 places, Turbo, Aerodynamics, Engine and Tyres, and you upgrade them by earning money from winning races, each upgrade levels up your part and costs more later - obviously - and that is pretty much it.
To the racing itself, it is a nice 3D racer, the controls and movement are smooth and not complicated and your opponents - although they have similar cars to you - they play on a nice difficulty that isn't too easy or too hard, and if you need a speed boost their is a Nitro boost that you can activate once a race or until it recharges.
But there are several problems with the way you bump into these cars, for example I drove into someone's car, and instead of slowing down like I should of done, I drove straight through him, I tried this again and it didn't happen so I must of been at a certain angle, but it still kinda bugged me. What also annoys me is that although the graphics are really nicely done, there is no grass or city - besides a few skyscrapers near the road - around, so it kinda feels like a post-apocalyptic world more than anything.
Another thing you have to deal with in this game are police cars that roam the city, they don't do anything other than get in the way and blare their sirens.
But other than those few things the game is a lot of fun, it may not be perfect and it may be ripping ideas off of Age of Speed, but I really enjoyed this.

Game Title: Breakout

The Review: Breakout is a classic game, not the version I'm reviewing but the original, in fact, I love most Breakout games I've played, but this one is completely laughable.

Starting the game will give you an instruction screen and shows the only level you will be playing on, after you press enter to start the game you are given a purple ball and paddle and a grey wall pops up out of nowhere to stop you flying off the map.
The game behaves like any odd Breakout game, left and right to move the paddle and make sure you don't miss otherwise you lose 1 of your 3 lives.
How well does the paddle move? For me it is a bit too light and it gets a while to get used to, but it is fine after that, but I noticed something with the ball, if you try to hit it with the left side of your paddle, it will pop further up on the screen and move further away making it harder to hit, which is really the only problem I have with this game.
So is this game good or not? Well for a Breakout game it just doesn't seem like much having only 120 blocks to hit and no other levels to play on as far as I can tell, I still haven't completed the level because of the horrible glitch with the ball making it harder to play.

Game Title: Madness: Will It Slice

The Review:
This is one of those Madness Day games that revolve around the Madness animated series by Krinkles, but is Will It Slice any good? I'm here to point out the good and bad.
So in the game you have a gun -supposedly a laser- and you are somewhere in Nevada -like in all or most Madness content- with an objective of killing all of the infected dudes in some sort of secret facility, there really is no telling of how these guys got infected other than their was some sort of outbreak but you can bet your ass that it was more exciting than that.
Anyway the game starts up with a nice soundtrack that never changes and you can pick how your character looks from the face to the body, then you start the game and you are told that in the secret facility their are these infected people, then after going through those 7 frames of text you are shown the controls and you can pick your level from 10, if this is your first time 9 of them are locked and you have to complete each level to unlock the next.
The controls in this game are smooth and nice and you have your cool chargeable laser, plus a triple-firing laser for those who love overkill, or for the guys who find this game difficult, either or.
The first level has only 3 infected dudes to kill, and of course you get more as you progress through the level.
Now this game is fun to play and the infected aren't too hard to kill, and I love the fact that they are slightly faster than you, it really makes the game have some feeling of progression and I also love the fact that shooting heads off of the infected doesn't kill them, making the game challenging but not so challenging that it makes me want to rage quit.
Are their any bad things in this game? Three things, the first thing being that the music loops all the time, their is no changing soundtrack which I can understand, doing that sort of thing is hard in Flash, but it still is a thing that bugs me, also if you jump at just the right time, you see the infected spawning and walking on the roof before you can finally shoot them. One more thing, their appears to be poles and ladders in the background for scenery, I thought they were climbable, and they weren't and I really REALLY want to be able to climb them.

Okay it's not big, but here is the 50 fan special:

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/625160

Okay so it got blammed, I'm not surprised to be honest, I'll try to improve it and re-release it at some point, until then I think I might continue Multichoice, I'm going to be tweeting about progress on that, so if you aren't following then the link is here.

Screw it, for the 50 fan special, how about a demo of Multichoice, that will probably be more suitable.

I now have 56 fans, so I'm going to really start working harder to get the 50 fan special out as soon as it can, I hope to get it done in 2 days, the 50 fan special is not something huge, but I think you may like it.

See you soon!

I have some ideas for the 50 fan special (actually it's 53 fans now, but whatever)
So I'm working on that, if you want me to add something then lemme know and I'll add that too, but for now it is pretty safe to say that the new animation is on it's way.

Stay tuned, I'll release the animation before the end of the summer.
That's all.

Edit: New Vlog, go here. to watch it.
