Alien Hominid
Alien
Hominid was released on the Gameboy advance, later on the PC on the website
Newgrounds (although it was removed after a while), on the
Playstation 2, on the gamecube, on the nintendo ds, on the playstation and finally on the Playstation Portable. It is a fun and funny 2d side scrolling beat ‘em’ up. You get
different weapons but if you don’t like the weapons you can always bite the
enemies head off or knife them. The graphics are overall very nice. You play as
an alien getting chased by the FBI. It tries to put comedy into all of it. At every
chance it gets it puts in strange characters, weird bosses and disturbing
facial expressions.
Rating:
8.9
Pros
- Good cartoony graphics.
- Funny (but gory) gameplay.
- Good varying level design.
Cons:
- The bosses don’t vary very much
- Same continuous enemies.

Facade
http://facadegame
Facade is an
indoor interactive adventure where you play as a random person. The graphics
are actually quite good for a ‘90’s game. You start off being invited over to
Trip and Grace’s house, but then things start to go wrong. There is a problem
with the speech as there is an unfair limit to how much you can type. Also,
they love to kick you out for unfair reasons. Such as, if trip says hi and you
say melon he will immediately shut you out. Also the loading screen takes
forever.

Pros
- Fun to interact with Grace and Trip and see their expressions.
- Hilarious to play with grace and trip.
- Feels really realistic (although not graphically).
- Good graphics for a ‘90’s game.
Cons
- Unfair word limit.
- You get kicked out for the dumbest reasons.

Once Upon A Life
http://Newgrounds
In Once Upon
A Life you play a golden oldie called Henry, who has lost the pages in his
diary. As you collect the right amount of memories, he recites some of his
memories. It presents a good amount of challenge, as well as allowing you to do
all sorts of minigames. The graphics are lovely cartoony graphics that suit it
well. It has brilliant voice actors, and the game makes you do things you
wouldn’t even think of originally doing. There are also some sad parts such as when
Henry recites his wife, Marianna, dying. The game is a very funny game of mixed
emotions and activities.

9.9
