It's not unusual for me to seek out a few freebies in the app store on a typical weekend. I'll play them and if there is a good one at a reasonable price, I'll buy it. I downloaded about 6 or 7 over the course of the weekend and have played several of them extensively.
1. Captain America, Sentinel of Liberty, lite. A fair amount of fun. The full version is on sale for 99 cents this weekend but I recommend you get the lite version and try it before you buy. I enjoyed throwing my shield at the Hydra soldiers.
2. Mad Wheels. This is a good game. I got the free version and came back and bought the full version for 99 cents. I feel like, once I bought it, that I am entitled to mention that it appears to have a small number of levels. True, I haven't played all the way through, but if it only has 7 levels as it appears, that is not really enough for the paid version. Sorry, but that's how I see it. However, I will say that it is very fun. You race against several odd vehicles while shooting at them with an array of weapons. There is this guy in a Batmobile that gives me a fit. There is another vehicle which shoots lightning bolts at me that causes severe problems. When you are in the lead you can't shoot your enemies so you need the mines so that you can drop a mine in the path of any protagonist that is tailgating you and shooting your car.
An interesting note about this game. Death Rally and Reckless Racing are similar and probably have more depth, but their steering system is a real pain to get used to. For the very reasonable price of 99 cents, they are all worth having, but the steering system of Mad Wheels is much easier to get accustomed to than the others. The game below should be downloaded for free if it is still on sale. It is very close to being like the aforementioned three games. Those three are Death Rally, Reckless Racing and Mad Wheels.
3. Horror Racing. This game was free for today only, I believe. It, like it's sister game from Chillingo, listed at #2 above, is a bit of a knockoff of Reckless Racing and Death Rally. You race these cars around a track while you shoot at each other with various weapons. It is a lot of fun. I just popped over to the app store and this game is still there for free. I love the fact that it has a lot of jumps, because I am mature.
4. Gesundheit! See my review for this game, on your right.
5. Cordy. This game has astounding graphics. They are, perhaps, the best I've seen. They have a 3D effect. I got the free version and I recommend you take a look at it first. This title seems a bit pricey for $4.99 but they will make a ton of money due to the eye popping look of it. It is not my style of game. It is more of a Mario style of game play which is fine if that's your thing.
6. Tombslider. This is a game similar to unblock 'em, in which you have to rearrange bars in order to remove an object from a maze. I thought it was a match three game, so I deleted it when I saw that it wasn't. My wife likes this sort of game but it is not my thing.
7. Top Gear Stunt School. What an innovative idea for a video game. I haven't played it hardly at all so far, so I can't really say yea or nay. What the heck. Let's give it a try. There have been a lot of freebies that I have returned and bought.
8. Censor Booth. This is a photo app which enables you to put banners and blurrings over people's faces. There are decals of flowers and signs that can be applied to your own pictures or ones that you download. It is a lot of fun but cannot be called a game unless it is in the hands of a twisted individual like myself. You should definitely check out the free version. You can have some fun and aggravate your wife/husband with this one.
I had a bit of a bizarre supper tonight and I have some lingering effects from it. I grilled some hot dogs and we had fries and beer with them. My wife made a big pot of home-made chili and for the meat she put in a bunch of meat that was seasoned with taco spicing, which we had in the leftovers. It gave the chili a bit more taste. I covered my hot dogs with a bunch of mustard, then smothered them with chili to the point where you could see neither hot dog or bun. Then I piled my plate with fries. I like my fries heavily salted and with some freshly ground pepper. This takes all the calories out of the rest of the food, which is important to me, since I am in training for the gaming Olympics. That's a joke. Sorry.
I hope you guys have a happy week. For those of you that are retired, know this. I envy you. I think.
