Equestria Gaming review


It's an alright blog site if you're looking for a large archive of mostly common pony games, but don't expect up to date news from the site's staff and neither very intelligent reviews.
They tried to get something going on with Lyra's List and a few competitions,
but only that one month June competition from Strawberry came out with a game, which is now known as Story of the blanks.
They don't hold competitions with rewards, don't provide walkthroughs and don't teach you game design. If anything Equestria Daily has a better game index than EG.
A good thing they did do is that they have an Arcade section which lets you play all the games just by clicking on the game's respective picture, it's useful for it stores the game on their site in case the original link goes dead.
Did you know that back in 2011 the blog was being handled by user Strawberry till she gave it to Xyro8, the guy who used to upload 1080p pony episodes 1 hour after their premiere.
They tried to get new writers for presenting games, but that didn't keep the site afloat for very long either.

Yeah that's pretty much it. I don't feel like writing a five page essay on this blog. It's too mundane.

List of pony games

(Legacy of the Pony completed)

Time to remind you of some games nobody knows about, like the ones from Pon-E3, most of which don't even have a website and download link anymore.

I'm gonna make just one post where I'll put all these games so I don't have to make a separate post for each of them. Plus they don't warrant more than one page of review. I'll let you know when I update it.

Top 10 mistakes in pony games


Most of these pastel-colored donkey games are badly made, but then there's some things which only the least common sensical and most effortless could manage to fuck up. (Note that these have no order and rank)

What is Angry Horse Game Reviews? AHGR
My target is to take any decent and potential filled games from the mountains of shit... and tell you how crap those last gems of hope are. What's that? you think Fighting Is Magic is a good game? Nope. Fuck you, all your horse-related games are shit.

Fighting Is Magic review


Oh boy a fighting game and... what's that? It doesn't have 32 characters with 16 abilities each and it doesn't have a cooperative campaign like a TMNT beat-em-up game? Dropped.

Pony Platforming Project review

It's no secret that this fandom doesn't have game designers, so you end up with shallow games such as these short flash-based ones found on Deviantart such as...
Pipsqueak's Thunder Plunder with no gameplay and absolutely no level design. All of the games in this fandom are made in Flash, GameMaker and Unity, not the best selection you could work in. Thus nobody bothers to chat and discuss about pony games.

But then comes out a series of games such as the pony platforming project(aka ppp, 3p) which have some potential in them, but that doesn't mean they're genuinely good. If you compare it to any other sellable indie game, you'll notice how poor even the best pony games are compared to the games on Steam such as Noitu Love 2 and Freedom Planet. That's what this review is here for. Also most of the fandom just isn't into gaming at all, hence why we have 0 talented game designers, and why Megapony was forgotten immediately.
