"Good mix, great ending"

submission: Blamformers!

date: July 19, 2007

I hope no one gives up partway through this - since the best is saved for last. I want to see an "Odd Couple" series remake, starring Megatron and gay Starscream. That'd be hot.

Score: 9

"Great example of this genre"

submission: XENO TACTIC

date: June 8, 2007

I just spent 40 minutes playing this. Where did the time go?? These types of games are addicting and this one is almost perfect, especially with the Starcraft-ish theme. I'm only on level 2 and I'm majorly stressed... don't even want to think about the rest...

Score: 9

"Addicting and original"

submission: Paintball - The Game

date: November 1, 2006

I know a game is good when I intend to take a quick look at it and find myself still playing it 20 minutes later. This is a unique and creative game - my only real complaint is that the levels didn't get harder the longer I played, they seemed pretty random. But it was still fun.

Score: 9

"Beware, this game is addicting..."

submission: Gravity Pinball 2

date: October 26, 2006

I wanted to take a quick look and see what this game was about - and 15 minutes later, I was obsessed with beating the next level. I love the gravity control - reminds me of Lunar Lander. (does anyone even remember what that is anymore?) Neat concept, neat game. Nice work!

Score: 5

"War is a horrible, horrible thing."

submission: Stop The War In Lebanon

date: August 11, 2006

As hard as it was to watch, I like this. War is a terrible thing and there are plenty of sanctimonious people who need to see images like these (especially here in the USA). War is *not* glorious and always kills innocent people, and you'd better be willing to accept that if you're going to call for military action.

Score: 7

"Awww, thanks!"

submission: Ross, we love you too!

date: January 17, 2002

Awww, I'm touched. Thanks, Clock Crew. Right back 'atcha.

Score: 9

"Funny stuff!!"

submission: The Pygmy Shrew

date: January 5, 2001

This short came out of nowhere, and has not been followed-up - but it still stands as one of the great examples of what the Portal is all about. It's funny, understated, and well-drawn - my Dad the Biology teacher saw it and laughed. Very nice!

Score: 10

"Even funnier than the original."

submission: Theatrical Trailer Trash

date: December 19, 2000

This sequel to "Barnyard Shenanigans" lived up to the original and then some. Disguised as a movie preview, this movie brings it all together and just makes me fall off my chair. The pacing, the music - I giggle just thinking about it.

Score: 9

"Stylish and violent - I love it!"

submission: Hate

date: August 3, 2000

It's a travesty that "Hate" is so lowly-rated. This is the perfect animated short - it's to the point, the graphics are beautiful, and it perfectly portrays the emotion it is named after. And since it contains the official mascot of the "Strange Shorts" section of Newgrounds, "Hate" will always have a place in my heart.

Score: 10

"Insane - and hilarious!!"

submission: Barnyard Shenanigans!

date: July 26, 2000

This submission totally rocks - it's a great example of what the Portal is all about. It's wacky, it's quirky, it's got some hilarious sounds, and it flows with a style that's just perfect. If you don't die laughing watching this - you're a zombie. :)
