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: Killing The Windbreaker

Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to. Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends. I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours. EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them. Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
