Reviews for "Strategy Guide Ep. 1"

SWEET

I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST A NINTENDO GAME FOR NEXT TIME. HOW ABOUT "ADVENTURE ISLAND1"? I COULD NEVER DEFEAT THAT FRICKEN PURPLE CLOAKED WIZARD DUDE BUT I WAS SOOOOOOO CLOSE

i love it

I WANT MORE!!!!!

meh

I think it was ok, i have seen better but this can go places, like to the moon, or even canada.

greatish

could've been longer
he should've gotten pissed off at the actual game not the cheat codes
otherwise it should be a good series

you should do Punch Out next and he should rewire his console when he gets beaten or some shit like that

Excellent!

Strategy Guide is a series focused on objective instead of subjective elements of video games. If you didn't know the difference between the two, one objective element is challenge, while one subjective element is a game's story. If the game had a great story, and was simple to beat, seasoned players would feel dissatisfied. If things were reversed, players would probably enjoy the game more. If a good story and reasonable challenges exist together, we attain the hallmark game attains popular praise from players and cynical magazine critics alike.

Guido is an excitable, filthy-mouth game critic with nostalgic feelings for the Nintendo Entertainment System. He talks about the really difficult games like Gradius--where people used the "Konami Code" to beat. Pay attention and you see Guido's pet cow (thrown into space for breaking some sensitive electronics) decimated by an incoming asteroid). This Flash is fun, hilarious, and definitely deserves high praise.

In other news...

In the last review of this flash, DimmuBorgir complained about something called IRONLIONZION and how the typical Internet idiots post inane or stupid sentences with poor grammatical structure. He did say something about Strategy Guide somewhere in the review, so it sounded somewhat like a review... sort of. It sounded more like a somethingawful.com article, minus the horrid & deliberate misuse of the English language to create literary diatribes. I considered clicking the Abusive button, because it didn't seem to directly affect his review of Strategy Guide (it could have been much shorter. My review could have been much shorter, too).

I know it seems poor to say this in a review, but folks, if you want to have your voice heard, the NG BBS is where you go. Reviews are different; your voice is heard, on the expectation that you deliver a genuine analysis (or simply whether you liked it or not) of a Flash movie, or game. You risk being clicked as abusive otherwise. One review was titled "Yeah" and it talked about how to get "Free Porn" (doesn't exist) with amateurs (meaning they do it for free--morons) and never commented on the flash. I clicked Abusive.

Sorry to reiterate this, but we have to use our heads once in a while. In any case, Needle ought to keep up the good work. From the initial episode, I like where this series is going.

You are wise beyond your years, my friend.
