Game Review: Robot Wants Kitty

Hey, everyone. It's coolish, here at the green retreat, and the leaves are getting serious about turning color. The dull red of dogwood, the bright red of sourwoods, yellow of poplar and the faint orange of birch are making the woods bright. The high for today was in the 64 degree range and it will be cool tonight.
    It's hard to know where to start, since I haven't talked to you for a week. I am certainly getting more work done on my books but I miss the blog.
   Let's talk games for a bit. Recently I downloaded a freebie for I-Pad called Robot Wants Kitty. Is this a cool title or what? It seems that a lonely robot is in need of something warm and fuzzy in his cold metallic world. He wants a kitten to hold and pet. So, he sets out through a maze in search of tactile satisfaction. At times he can see the cute little kitten, just inches away, but there is a wall preventing him from holding his new friend. To be honest, there are times when the game can be a bit frustrating as you go up, down, in and out of levels. It's a bit like a pac-man maze but the game is much cooler. You find ray guns to blow up walls and kill these blue blobs.There are these other one-eyed creatures who resemble boogers that hang from the ceiling. You have to leap up and fire your gun at the same time to blast them.
     You have to leap across holes at times. Some of them are pools of acid, which is harmful to your health. This is one of those games which you find yourself playing 'just a little more'. I would categorize it not as great, but pretty darn good. I got it for free but it won't be free for long. You should snag it, before the kittens are all gone. If you had to pay 99 cents for it, the game is easily worth it.
     Hey, I think I'll take a break and blog again this evening. I will tell you all about the new game I bought called Shadowgun. Check back in a few hours if you are not out on the town, getting wild and crazy.
    Speaking of wild and crazy, I just put another ebook on Smashwords and Amazon. The title is Notch 3 and it is the latest story about the gunman Cedric Gant. It's a good read and should be available on these two venues within hours. For the rest of the on-line stores it will probably be a week.
   Remember, a review of the latest hit shooter Shadowgun, tonight on the author's green retreat.
   I'm CE Wills.
PS: That's a raccoon track in the creek. It is under several inches of water.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away. We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley. Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

Book Review: Box

Hey, everyone. I just finished the latest novel by John Locke. It is titled Box . It is the story of a world renowned surgeon named, coincidentally, Gideon Box. Dr. Box is brilliant in his chosen field of endeavor but less skilled in anything that involves social interaction. He can't get along with people and is so bad at relationships that his flings at 'romance' normally involve strippers, lap dances and on-line dating services. After a grueling operation, Box goes on a bender that involves going to visit three women in rural Kentucky that he 'met' on line. I would like to say that these women run the gamut between harmless and dangerous but that would be a misrepresentation. They are all dangerous. One of them has lied about all her particulars. Worse than that, she has pet seahorses and makes a particular powder that can be used as a weapon. The powder contains ground glass, among other things. Without giving ...
