New, And Free, I-Pad Games

Hey, everyone. So, you're bored with most of your games? Here's some new ones that you may like. We'll start with Frisbee Forever. It's free and it's fun, which is a lot to say about a game. This quirky little game has nice music and engaging game play. You'll like it. If this game wasn't designed by a dude from California, I would be surprised. Get it on the app store, if you want to. Here's the recipe.
In this game you are a Frisbee thrower who takes on several courses, each with multiple levels. The object of the game is to throw your Frisbee through target rings. Sounds easy, sure, but noooooo. You have the choice of controlling the flight of your disc with your finger or by tilting the device. I opted for using my finger. As your Frisbee flies along, you have the chance to contact these stars. This is important because they give you added distance on the levels with several target rings. The screens are crisp and sharp, with nice colors. I like the encouragement given to poor players like myself, sort of like a kind grandparent would give you.
Like most games, you accumulate points. With the points you can buy new Frisbees. The developers have an in-app purchase deal, which seems to be the norm these days. I understand this and the practice gives us a lot of free games.
This game is one of those games that you can play for a couple of minutes as you stand in line somewhere, or you can play it for an hour. Despite the fact that nothing explodes and there are no guns to shoot Zombies with, I like it. Put it on that shiny new I-Pad you just brought home and have fun. If you want to.
I just realized that it has been a long time since I threw a Frisbee. I think I'm in a bit of a rut.
Another new game for you Padsters is called Paper Toss, World Tour HD. This is the sequel to the popular game where you sit in your office and throw paper wads at the garbage can. "That sounds dumb", you might say, and that is what I said. The truth is, the original game was fun and so is this one. By the way, the original has been downloaded 30,000,000 times.
The new Paper Toss, World Tour, is free. I downloaded it this morning and played through several levels. You have to make 3 consecutive shots before unlocking a new destination. When you do, you hear a jet taking off to give you that traveling vibe. Little things like that make the game fun. For instance, one of the locales is in Egypt, at the pyramids. When the wind gets high, there is a bit of a sandstorm animation which is cool. For those of you who haven't played the original, they change the wind speed and direction constantly which makes it harder to get your three shots in a row. I like the pleasant clunk when you hit the can with your paper wad. When you go to the Taj Mahal the can is sitting in the water and when you miss there is a splash as the paper hits the pool. There is also music, themed to go with the locale. When in Germany, there are steins of beer sitting on the table of an outdoor cafe and some of that beer hall music is playing. Over all, for free, you have to like this game. It is add supported, of course, but you can throw the adds in the virtual trash can for the princely sum of 99 cents.
Another free game that I downloaded this morning is called Trial Extreme. Here's the recipe: You are a motor-cross type, bike-person and you have these courses that you ride. There are jumps, mud holes and numerous wrecks. You tilt the I-Pad to lean the little rag doll dude forward and back which makes him flip or wreck, if you are a mean person. This game is also free and although I haven't played it very much, I think it would be worth your time to try it out on that shiny new I-Pad 2 which you just purchased.
Well, it's almost time to go to work so I will bid you farewell from the green retreat. I'm CE Wills.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
