Hey, everyone. After a brutal week of overtime and late hours and aggravation, it is time to talk about games.
1) Sprinkle. This is an Angry Birds type game. You are a firefighter and must spray water on fires which are in crevices, on hills and generally obstructed. If you don't put out the fires before the houses burn, you lose. This game has 26 levels for a buck. It's highly rated and even an old puzzle hater like myself can enjoy it. There are some people on the app store who are mad because you only get 26 levels, then they want to sell you another pack of levels for another 99 cents. One other thing, the name of this game is really long and just 'Sprinkle' won't get you to it. I think the full name is Sprinkle, Water Spraying, Firefighting Fun. The graphics are exceptional. It is worth a dollar, no doubt.
2) If you like war games, this is a good weekend to buy Modern Combat 2, Black Pegasus. It is normally $6.99 but you can grab it now for a ridiculous 99 cents. The graphics and game play are really good. I've played the free version and I like it, other than the fact that a poor player like myself gets stuck on gnarley levels a lot. When you make so little progress it is discouraging. That leads to playing something else. My buddies at Gameloft will eventually install a "super easy" mode just for me but in the meantime there is no reason for you to pass on this large game for a small price.
3) Brickbreaker Escape. This is more for puzzle people. It is free and has a lot of things that come at you as you go along. You have a bar which you move back and forth to bounce a ball against things. This destroys bricks and stuff so you can open a path to the exit. It's pretty darn good, especially for free.
4)Robot Rampage. This freebie is so darn cool. You are a massive robot with an attitude problem. You can stomp your feet and crush buildings and soldiers. You have laser beams that you can shoot at things. You can even punch with your massive fists. The graphics are quite good. Destroying buildings is a good time for all.
5) Artillery Brigade. This shooter has a paid version for 99 cents and a free version called Artillery Brigade Training. The graphics and gameplay are so good that I played the freebie, then went back and bought the full version. You can fight land, air or sea battles and use a variety of weapons. There are several environments such as jungle, desert or snow. I wish that the enemies were a bit bigger against the background, but hey, they give you a zoom, like a sniper, to use on the turret of your machine gun emplacement. They also give you a radar scope to alert you as to enemy activity. If you like shooters, this is a bargain at 99 centabos.
6) Movie Challenge. This movie trivia game is free. I haven't played it much. I can vouch for the fact that it can be challenging. I see it as more of a game to play at a party where there is a group of friends around a table. My first example is a true or false. "Does Tom Hanks collect old typewriters?" Well, turns out he does. I said no. The movie buffs among you may get a kick out of this and you certainly can't beat the price.
This batch of games was actually from my I-Pad, where very few puzzle games reside. The reason being, I mostly loathe puzzles because they expect you to think. If you have time, check back later for a puzzle special. My wife is the puzzle guru and I'll have her sit down with me and co-author a post of the new puzzle games on her I-Pad. There are about 10 more games and that would be more like a short story than a blog if I added them here. Plus, I'm really tired. Have a great day.
