[..YouTube..] bytejacker is the best!
[..YouTube..] it’s always a treat when i see that the new bytejacker is up. very entertaining show for a gamer like me.
[..YouTube..] Hey what is this, I thought you were gonna ask them the questions today.
Ripoff.
Cool that was exactly what i thought before launching this video, some dialogue would be cool.
But why this teen aimed tone, i’d personnally like it more if you really speak of the games/developpers.
I agree. Maybe were getting a powerup later in the week with nothing but a half hour of interviews with these guys.
[..YouTube..] I bet you’re gonna get some pretty crazy calls
Fear not, dudes. Thursday’s episode is going to be all interview with our guests- that’s why we asked everyone to submit questions next week.
I wouldn’t dare have these guys on without making sure to ask them the things you want to know.
[..YouTube..] I sure hope so.
Crazy calls are the best calls.
Sweet! great as always. Looking forward to more reviews!

erm since when are game developers so er…..ehm…..well….hot ^.^…anyone with me :P?
[..YouTube..] Thumbs Up’d for truth.
lets see which game will win on thursday…
[..YouTube..] Thanks, dudes!
I can’t get the Chef to work. Can’t set video mode 320×200. Setup.bat does nothing. Is there a way to fix this?
[..YouTube..] Great Episode guys, Mr. Carboni, you are like the cannon justice the fires inde games at people. I enjoy being hit by those games.
Got the setup working by setting chef.exe to run in win98 compatibility mode, but it still won’t work. The mouse doesn’t respond properly and then Windows starts locking up too. Almost had to reboot. Guess I won’t be playing this one.
I think it was made in a really really early version of Adventure Game Studio, so you will all probably have to use dosbox to play it. That said, it is definatly worth checking out.
Okay so.. as far as picking a game there was a bit of a polarizing pick when it comes to the three here. Mainly because one of which is a shooter game where as the other two are adventure games. So unless you are okay with shooting games, Garden likely wont be your pick.
That said, I picked Garden because I am a shooting game fanatic. I dont discount the adventure games, though leaning towards Dirty Split more. But I am more of the action type player. The boards semi random and the like and the interesting weapon selection with a slight memory of the Gradius series.
Oh and the reviews are fun to watch too, of course.
Anthony looks drunk like from the very first frame lol %)
[..YouTube..] I think I’m putting that quote on my resume.
@Chr0n3 - No way, dude. I’m not drunk until at LEAST 30 seconds in.
Wait until you see Thursday.
Ha ha! I can imagine. Looking forward to it!

Garden of Coloured Lights is great and I don’t even like shooters.
I think it’s hard, but not super-hard like some bullet hell shooters. The visuals and sounds are great. I love how it’s all musical notes.
As for my victory strategy (I’ve gotten to level 3, maybe 4). Take the strongest rapid fire weapon (the one that doesn’t orbit your ship) and two of the heavy lance weapons (the one that hits everything in a straight line). Those things are awesome and can level up really quickly when you can hit 2-5 enemies easily with it. You also never have to worry about a quick enemy intercepting your shot (unlike the exploding weapon), and it’s instantaneous.
[..YouTube..] I loved little girl in underland,that woman is a genious
hahaha, “and that’s how I got all the way to level 2″
That woman is really attractive
Garden of Coloured lights made me go on for hours…. it is SO HARD!!! and I think that’s what attracted me into it..
Yet I did not manage to go on to level 3. I managed to go through level 1 without dying but ASAP I started level 2.. I could not even blink my eyes!
Anyways, cheers to Linley Henzell for this awesome game!!
All the games are interesting although the difficult Garden of Coloured Lights made me interested due to the difficulty. It took me five tries to get to level 2 then I got stuck and at best I got 18%.
I am a little interested in the split as well. It looks interesting and I would love to play it.
I will probably not try out the chef unless I finally get to at least level 4 of Garden of Coloured Lights. Until then I’ll be shooting my way to many losses until an eventual victory.
