Clockwork's Return

Clockwork was a Roblox Administrator who had made the famous Teapot Turret and the game Dodge the Teapots of Doom. He joined Roblox sometime in 2007 as a intern, but left after about three months of being an intern. In 2008 he returned to the Roblox team and made a website, that has since been shutdown, named ROBLOX HQ which was claimed to have a lot Roblox information and possibly fun activities which were Roblox related. But, he later left Roblox. There are many theories on why he had left Roblox. One suggests that he was going to work for World of Warcraft, which is a popular roleplaying/action game to battle many monsters, wizards, etc. Another theory suggests that he was fired from Roblox. Even if these are not or not true, his account was later banned for an unknown reason. But, recently his account has somehow returned. We do not know why he has returned or how his account was reactivated, but all we know is that he is back and active. I hope he will create even more creative and ingenuitive creations as he had done in the past.

Game Review: Perilous Skies by Crazyman32


Hello! This is Heavy making another game review. Today I am reviewing a great game by one of the best plane designers in Roblox. Crazyman32's Perilous Skies is a air battle between the two teams,  Aces and Strikers. Everyone starts out with a mini-jet which is the most basic and weakest of eight jets in the game. Upon entering the game, you may experience a small glitch where your screen will become a blank color, in this scenario, you must leave and go to a different server. If this does not occur you will chose your plane and its color scheme, then it'll be time for you to enter the combat zone. The jet will automatically take off and you will be protected until the takeoff ends. The jets are very easy to control. To steer your plane you just need to move your mouse. There are 4 different type box location guis you will see in-flight. A blue box signifies a teammate, a green box signifies an enemy, a yellow box signifies a safe-enemy you have not locked your missiles onto, and red signifies an enemy your missiles have locked onto. To fight, click and hold the left mouse button to use your gun and press F to fire a missile at a locked enemy. Finally, I will discuss the upgrade system in the game. To gain upgrade points you must kill enemies and can do various air tricks. You can unlock special features and new planes with these upgrade points.This game is very well scripted and built quite nice and I do recommend playing it.

Game Review: Jet Wars: Advanced Battle Created by Carbon131

The first game I played when I came to Roblox was a fascinating, well made, aircraft carrier battle focusing around the use of jets. Made in 2008, this is quite well made for early Roblox. Before you start the game, you will be greeted by a GUI that allows you to choose your team, Red or Blue, check statistics, and set the controls for the jets and anti-aircraft turrets.
This game saves your progress and ranks you when you obtain a number of kills. The jet, which are very easy controlled and fun to use, can be a devastating weapon in the game. The jet contains bombs, missiles, and guns which are very easy to fire. To control your jet, you just use your mouse to guide it to the location you want to go. Any other controls, are explained in the game.

The only other transportation method is by boat. The noise the boat makes isn't a pleasant sound, but it works nonetheless for sneaky strikes. The anti-aircraft guns are the best defense against enemy aircraft, as they are able to hit the jets much easier than the standard rocket launcher.  There are just as many downsides as there are upsides in the game. Plane spawning can be buggy at times and will not allow your team to use jets on that specific server that has that specific glitch. As well as the jets own bombs being able to explode on the jet itself. But don't let these bugs get you down on this game, as it is probably one of the best games I've played in Roblox.
