Hey, everyone. I've been relaxing after a tough day. I like to read Google News and I selected sections that I like which do not appear on the standard version. For instance, I like a section called I-Pad and I-Phone Games. Then, when I see an interesting article, I check it out. Today I noticed that EA Sports, a big game developer, was running a sale on the app store. They have marked down all their titles, which are normally quite pricey by app store standards. So I bought 4 new games to amuse myself with. They were all 99 cents.
1. Madden NFL 11
2.Battlefield: Bad Company 2
3. Reckless Racing
4.Need For Speed Shift
It's really too early to give a fair review on them but my first impressions are as follows; Need For Speed Shift is a good deal for the 99 cents. Very cool graphics and game play, plus it's not hard to get started on. I'm not a good player and there are some games that I give up on out of frustration as I try to get a feel for them. This is not one of those. By the way, Real Racing 2 has just come out. It is the sequel of one of the more popular racing games for I-Pad and the reviews are very good. I have the first version and I like it. The sequel blows it away, according to the experts. It, like its predecessor, is a hefty $9.99. The racing game I bought today for 99 cents would make a less expensive alternative.
Madden NFL 11 will take me a while to learn to play but it looks like fun, especially for 99 cents. You can choose teams and have updated rosters of current players so you know that I picked the Atlanta Falcons immediately.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a good war game. The tech guys would call it an FPS, or First Person Shooter. For the money it's a very good value. It has these short missions that you are assigned to do. The graphics are good and I like it. A big plus for me is that it's not hard to figure out and get started playing.
Reckless Racing. This game is giving me problems getting used to the controls but it shows promise of being a fairly good game. I wouldn't class it with the best games but it will be OK. I do know that it is very popular among the younger folks.
I talk about these games a lot and I sometimes think I give you the impression that I am cheap because I brag on the 99 cent games. Well... I guess I am cheap. Never mind.
From the cheap place, I'm CE Wills.
PS: For the puzzle lovers like my wife, the sale mentioned above includes titles like Scrabble and Tetris.
PPS: The other day I found a really good game for free. (There's that money fixation again.) Stick Golf HD is very popular and very fun. Did I mention that it was free?
