Its official!

Yes, it is now official! I am the blog's graphics designer! After talking with MasterDaniel on twitter, we finally came to the conclusion that I can be the graphics designer. That means I will be in charge of all the graphics on the blog such as the title I think and the images in the posts and other stuff. So yeah... nice way to end 2011, right? Anyway... I'll see you guys soon! =D

ROBLOX Reviews: Kingdom Life II vs TŞ Professional Soccer 2012

Edition #5

Hello and welcome to ROBLOX Reviews! Christmas is just 5 days away right now! And, there will be a post on Christmas Eve that will review some Christmassy places!

Lets get stuck into todays reviews now.

Kingdom Life II by Boopbot

Idea: 8/10

The idea is fairly simple: Roleplay in a medieval setting. It seems fairly original and is by far the most popular game of its type on ROBLOX, with over 2.8 million visits.

Gameplay: 7/10

You start the game above the map. You pick a class, confirm and then you are plunged into a town. After that, you just roleplay. If you can keep roleplaying fresh, you can have a ton of fun here, but it can get slightly repetitive.

Scripting: 7/10

There is not alot of scripting. The main things that are scripted are the GUI's and class GUI. There are some other things too but the place is not overlaoded with them which is a good thing in my opinion.

Enviroment: 9/10

The eviroment could be bigger, but because the game lags a fair bit to begin with, anymore enviroment would make it lag more. Thats bad. However, what is in the game is greatly detailed and looks really nice.

Enjoyment: 9/10

The game can be enjoyable when you are roleplaying and exploring, but if this gets repetitive, it can become very boring very quickly.

 TŞ Professional Soccer 2012 by TAYFUN7 

Idea: 9/10

The idea is also quite simple. You play soccer! (or football if you're from the UK like me)

Gameplay: 7/10

The gameplay is fairly fun. You just play soccer. However, this can quickly get boring; its very repetitive. Even though the game looks huge, there is no lag at all!

Scripting: 10/10

There is alot of great scripting in this game. From the scoreboard and scoring, to the things you can do (i.e Kick the ball long, Pass etc.)

Also there is a really complex opening GUI, which is well scripted. Theres some data persistance used!

Enviroment: 7/10

The enviroment is everything you would expect it to be; theres a football stadium and changing rooms. But that is about it. The stadium isn't greatly detailed either but it does suffice.

Enjoyment: 7/10

This game can be really enjoyable when playing with your friends and it feels really realistic which makes the game all the more fun to play. It can get a bit repetitive but with your friends it should be alot more fun!

FINAL SCORES.

ROBLOX Reviews: Hospital Nightmare Before Christmas 3 vs Paintball!

Edition #4!
Welcome to Saturdays edition of ROBLOX Reviews. Our flagship post series. This series is our most popular with around 99% of our traffic reading these reviews.

Lets dive in and review todays two games!

Hospital Nightmare Before Christmas 3 by adrian928

Idea: 9/10

The idea is a very solid one. It seems fairly original, but it is a game that features pop-up decals and AI's that appear out of no-where and lead you on through the game; I have seen this done before. As the game suggests, you are in a hospital, before Christmas and there is something strange happening. 

Gameplay: 9/10

The game is very good, with some amazing scripting (but shh, thats the next bit) There are AI's that make you jump and this game is very scary. The game is very fluid and works really well. You will rarely get stuck. It is full of mystery and sometimes you have to look up to find the way out. You will literally find yourself looking everywhere for an exit. But you will find it. There is very eerie backing music too!

Scripting: 9/10

The scripting in this game is great. There are floating AI's which can really scare you, and there are invisible triggers that send pictures of Michael Jackson at you! The music is very ambient and scary and there are some great swirling portals which look really good! Alot of the beauty in this place comes from the building however.

Enviroment: 7/10

The enviroment in this game is fairly good. It definately gives the feel of a hospital.However, alot of this game is in tunnels and such, so there isn't much enviromental detail. But there are some cave bits which look very good.

Enjoyment: 8/10

The game is very enjoyable, but once you've played it once, you probably won't play it again. 

Paintball! by daxter 33

Idea: 7/10

There are a few paintballing games but this seems to be the most popular (in favourites) It is well executed and has some features which make it better than the rest.

Gameplay: 8/10

The gameplay is exactly what you would expect from a paintballing game; you play paintball. You can rank up and earn XP. There is also some hidden secrets on this map which can get you closer to their base. Capture the most flags to win.

Scripting: 10/10

The game is very well scripted. There is a countdown. A kill reporter, a kill cam of sorts (which is very awesome) and also, the game forces you into first person which, while annoying sometimes, does make the game better.

Enviroment: 8/10

The enviroment is very small, but it is well detailed. It has castles and rivers, and this was in one map. I am told there is more than one, but I have only ever seen this one. So I don't know if what people say is true. Nevertheless, it is a great enviroment, if only if where a bit bigger.

Enjoyment: 8/10

The game is very fun and ranking up gives you a sense of satisfaction. It is certainly a great game which would be really fun to play with your friends.

Final Scores!

Idea: 9/10 vs 7/10

Hospital Nightmare Before Christmas 3 wins!

ITS A TIE!

These are two great games, and I am not suprised they have tied. One makes up for what one doesn't have and this makes them both great games. You should check them out!
