[Governor of Poker]

Poker Perfection!

I've played a few gambling games on NG and other places, and I have to say this is hand down the best.

The players all have realistic personalities - a lot of poker games fall into the trap of making players with extreme personalities, e.g. they always bluff, or they never bluff, but in this game the players have balanced and realistic personalities. The graphics are very good too, I like the top-down viw of the game. It's incredibly long - almost too long in fact.

The only probems are that it can get quite slow - either becuase of the high quality graphics or because of the AI taking it's time - maybe an option to turn graphical quality down would help this? Also, the players arms, especially the women's, look a bit disfigured. This wouldn't matter in a cartoony 2D game, but in 3D it looks wierd - the hands are huge but the arms are like twigs.

The only suggestion to inprove, apart from the ones above, would be to add more variety. Playing the same game over and over can get quite boring, maybe add different types of poker (e.g. 5 card, 7 card etc.) or maybe different card games such as pontoon (blackjack in Americerish), or bridge? Maybe even have games like roulette, although slots obviously wouldn't fit in with the wild west theme.

But, nonetheless, this is an amazing game. Bravo!

For Governor of poker Texas holdem is the game of our choice.
The arms??? I guess thats just a matter of taste.
About it being slow at the poker table you can set the speed x2 and you can skip and fold.

We will see what happens you never know maybe there will be a part 2
Thanks for the review!

Fancy sonic adventures?

I'll start off by saying what an amazing game this is... every single thing was perfect, from the graphics to the way you control fancy pants. The level designs awesome too, and original. I like the cameo levels!

The only small problem I had was that at times it was a bit too similar to sonic. It sometimes seemed that you took great sonic bits, made them 'fancy' and put them in, an example of this being the springs, or the rails that you can grab.

But this is only a small thing, and does nothing to take away from the rest of this breathtaking game.

DrNeroCF responds:

At times, maybe, but I don't really understand why people say that it feels like a Sonic clone... last I check Sonic starts running really really slowly, Sonic has bumpers, not really springs... really I just think that there's so much in it, and only so much you can do with a standard platformer without using too much super advanced code...

not bad but gets boring

good fun for a while but the levels are too samey. theres almost too many levels and youll probably get bored after completing 10 levels or so. Controls unresponsive and annoying and the characters move too slowly (particularly in jumps) i hope u make improved games. like level design and music though.
