Animated Review of Red Dead Redemption

Watch HERE if the video does not embed.

We came off very negative in the review which was a mistake in hindsight. We were trying to avoid just constantly gushing over the game and went too far in the opposite direction.t;


This is our first review, and I had about 2 weeks of Flash experience in school almost two years ago, so please excuse the overall crappiness. However, do not get it twisted, I did work on this a lot. It took twice as long as I'd have liked because my experienced friend dropped out.


However, I can't draw at all as you will notice during the review. So, I had to head in another direction. We had set out to do this under the Just Chilling moniker from the very beginning. The podcast was changed when Just Chilling was taken as a site name, and then we just sort of grew attached to The Black Couch. So sticking with the Just Chilling idea, I decided to use Ice Cubes since cubes are very simple shapes.


Initially, the ratings were very similar to Spill.com, but the others felt that it was no longer homage at that point, and simply a rip-off. So we went into a brainstorming session trying to find something similar but our own, but that didn't really produce anything worth mentioning. So they came up with the idea of keeping it near the theme of the animation and use temperature. So, without further delay, here's the rating system:


Liquid Nitrogen-If you've ever even played a videogame, you owe it to yourself to go out and get this right now.


Frostbite- It is an excellent game that warrants a full price purchase and would sit very comfortably in your collection.


Just Chilling-The game is good, but nothing you need to rush out and buy right away. Wait for the price to drop a bit.


Room Temperature-It is a game that you really don't care much about either way and would be better suited as a rental or a bargain bin item.


Sweaty Balls-This is a bad game that is not recommended at all.


Hellish Inferno-This is a **** You" in game form, nice and simple.


The ratings are subject to change depending on if we get any feedback on this one.


I have a lot of respect for Spill.com after this one. I understand the first one is the hardest, and it will be a little simpler after this, but damn! The next one on the docket is pretty far off so I have time to prepare for it a little bit. Need to buy a DVR-ish thingy so I can capture video instead of scavenging around for some. Need to change the Mic setup so that people don't screw up the audio quality. Need to try some practice reviews of other games to get a good balance in.


Sorry, I wrote most of this last night and am tired again now, so hope you enjoy or at least tolerate this episode. I will always be trying to improve it. Again, even Spill.com is always adding more and more animated parts, so I have a looooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnggggggg ways to go. Cheers.
