    I am a huge fan of Homestarrunner.com, so of course, I am LOVING these games. Episode 5 was my favorite in the series for a few reasons. Its little inside refrences and jokes were hilarious, and The story and fluidity were the best yet. The only bad parts was some of the logic was hard to figure out, and many puzzles I had to look up to finish. The story and the trademark H*R humor made this game a winner. Expand

    Great game, superior to the last one, way superior. It's witty humor and unique gameplay has returned with an update, and it uses it well. A great and well told follow up with a 'cliffhanger ending'. It is easily the second best in the series behind the second.

  1. Episode 5 is about videogames – that can really only mean good things! It's not longer than any of the other episodes, nor is there more to do, but it's got more jokes than any other entry in the series, plus we finally get to see Trogdor in 3D – what more could you want?
  2. Shows an obvious fondness by the game's creators for classic videogames, but that's not really represented in the gameplay, which has sadly run its course here.

    This episode is truly bizarre, but still very funny.
