--Ultimate Bullseye--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This is essentially a rehash of the older Ultimate Bullseye. Same style, same keys, same everything. If you were good at it, you'll be good at this. But be warned, if the fact that the current Better Than You only had ten people beat it by this Monday doesn't clue in that this is not the best game to play for Neopoints, I don't know what will

--Usuki Frenzy--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

I don't get it. Why does the Neopets Staff feel that two Diva Starz games aren't enough. Diva Starz is great (It won Best Sponsor Game), and it's rare that a Sponsor Game is good. Then came Big Fat Liar, which is really the same thing as Diva Starz, just slower. Then this...Usuki Frenzy. I would be ashamed to be an Usuki Doll and have this game out there. This is the slowest one yet (That stupid Usul walks in the weirdest way), the doorways are confusing, so there's one room you can't find...ugh

--Usurper--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

Comments: it may have come and gone, but I think you can expect many more logic puzzles in the near future. Usurper was great, my kind of puzzle. I may not have solved it, but it was fun. I still haven't gone back and worked out the entire thing yet, too see where I messed up, but I did get a lot right. The main thing to remember about these logic puzzles is to avoid the chat rooms. I wanted to seriously smack some people during this run. People who said they knew the answer one clue into the puzzle. Very aggravating, though I suspect the Neopets team has never laughed harder in their human lives...

--Volcano Run--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

I love it. It's complicated, but easy, long, but short. Big score...little Neopoints. yes, my friends, with all good games comes a dastardly drawback. If Volcano Run didn't have such a stupid payout, I'd give four stars. 2230! That was my score! I got 558 Neopoints. Okay, it's more than I get from my daily Shrine/Fruit Machine/Tombola Visits (Usually) But still...for such a complicated game, the amount should be halved, not quartered. But I still love it, and as soon as they get the high scores back up, I'm going for my Grand Master Rank on the My Scores chart. It'll be my sixth game I'll earn GM for. Woo hoo!!! Another request I have is that Neopets needs a Rules section. It took me like five tries before I figured out how to fly the darn Scorchio. Also, if there's a boulder going between the Jewels, skip them. You'll be better off for doing so. I believe the jewels are 30 points each, I may be wrong

--Whack-A-Beast--

Reviewed by: willofgaia

This is one of my favourite Games because of the easiness level. In other words, you can just sit back and watch the Neopoints pile up
Here are some tips:
- Blue and Yellow Beasts are the bests, but in the later levels, they are very rare. Blue gives you 10 points, and Yellow gives 3, both a great help.
- It's okay to hit an occasional Quiggle or JubJub, because they only take away one point, but if you hit the Kacheek, start smacking the beasts, because you've just lost ten points.
- The Red Beasts give one point, and Green gives two. These are the most common Beasts, and in the later levels, they are all you can find.
- After you've scored 200 points, the Beasts are going to pop up then pop down. They won't stay up very long, so be ready to smack any circular looking thing
-The Total score is divided by two, so 500 Points equals 250 Neopoints
