Hey everyone. I recently tried a new game for I-Pad, I-Phone and I-Pod. The name of it is PetsWar, as you may have guessed from the title. It is available for free on the app store. The paid version is only 99 cents.
This game is a Tower Defense game. For those of us who are new to modern gaming, let me say that this means you have pieces that are defending your turf from invaders. This game is remarkably similar to Plants Vs. Zombies which is one of the top ten games on the planet, in my opinion. Although this game can not be compared to Zombies in polish, cuteness, playability or graphics, it certainly can beat Zombies in price. For a free game it is very good and fun. I would think it is a great game to sit down and play along with your young children. Heck, I enjoy it quite a bit myself. In fact I liked it enough to splurge and buy the paid version for a hard-earned dollar. Here's the recipe for the game.
Your turf is being invaded by a lot of cute but undesirable creatures who have been led astray by an evil magician. There are trees that walk and beat on things. They and their comrades, who arrive as the game progresses through it's 30 levels, are trying to penetrate your defenses. Your defenders are your animal pals, your pets. There are many choices of friends as the game goes along. For instance, you can choose a scaredy cat which throws fireballs at the invaders until they get close. Then he cowers down and lets them do their thing. Obviously he is not as valuable as the exploding tomatoes that can wreak havoc on your enemies.
One thing I like about this game is that it constantly changes in the abilities and types of both defenders and attackers. Even the playing field changes. As an example of this, there is a parabellum field which is curved. The normal missiles which your defenders hurl are almost useless because they can't deal with a curved world.
Is this as good a game as Plants vs. Zombies? NOooooo. Is it remotely as intense as Rage? Please! No, nor is any other game for I-Pad. Rage is the best game I have ever played. It is head and shoulders better than the highly touted Dead Space. But back to PetsWar. The point of this missive is to tell you that you should try the free version of this and if you like it you can buy it for 99 cents. I think it is a fun game for the money, even though I'm sure it won't appeal to hard-core gamers.
I have a couple of new books that are going on I-Books and Barnes and Noble this weekend, so I expect a lot of new folks hitting this blog. I'd like to say that you guys are as welcome as May flowers. If you haven't been checking out this blog much, may I suggest a few posts that you might like? I'll fix a list of ten favorites and post it for tomorrow. For now, check out the list to the right and scroll down to the blog archives. Try a few of the ones from May, 2010, like Walking In The Rain or Snakes That Fly. They are true stories of things that have happened to me, here at the green retreat.
I hope you have a great weekend! I'm CE Wills.
