It's been nearly 3 weeks since I blogged and I have missed it. There has probably been 100 times that I have thought about something I would like to tell you about. Blogging is a strangely addicting thing. For instance, I saw 15 wild turkeys and 2 deer this morning, within 50 feet of my back door. They were so tame that they ran off a few feet and went back to grazing. I was studying the difference between the way that a turkey eats acorns and the way a squirrel eats them. The leftovers from turkeys look like they have cut the caps in quarters to get at the acorn. Very odd. Maybe it's a deal like when we were little and our moms would cut our food up really small? Those mother turkeys may be providing that sort of service. We have very few turkeys here at the green retreat, as a rule, so I am just learning about these cool birds. They look like a bunch of very large coke bottles as they run away from you. They are very dark coke bottles, so they look like they are full.
Hey, very cool item this weekend. I have been lurking around the app store for some time, waiting to pounce on the game Backstab, should it go on sale. Well, this weekend it went to 99 cents and I bought it immediately. The darn thing is almost 660 MB and took months of work by a team of techies to produce. To get it for 99 cents is very cool. I also picked up Silent Ops and Fast Five for the same awesome price. I haven't played any of them enough to give a 'yea' or a 'nay' on them, for the simple reason that I have been typing and reviewing and doing all the things that go with publishing a new title.
If you read this while it is still on sale, you should grab Nova 2 for your I-Padster. It is 99 cents also, for a limited time. It is so worth that price.
Hey! Check out a racing game called Race After 1977. The graphics are truly amazing. There is a free version and the full version is currently a puny 99 cents. I tried the free and bought the full immediately. In this game you are racing through a semi-destroyed earth in cars that would make Mad Max's heart pound. It bothered my inner ear problem a bit but it was so cool that I bought it anyway. Also, grab a freebie called Undead Attack Pinball. This is a flipper pinball game with zombies stumbling around the board. If you flip a ball and squash one he leaves a big yellow stain on the glass. Yeah, I know, it is a bit gross but it is really fun and HD quality and you should totally try it.
My wife is digging a title she bought on sale for 99 cents called Empress of the deep # 2, Hunt For The Blue Whale, I believe. It's a puzzle thing and I don't play it.
Over Labor day I bought Prince Of Persia, Warrior Within and Avatar. They were easily worth the 99 cent sale price and worth considerably more than that. Stunning graphics and fun game play, although neither is as good as Rage or 9MM, of course.
See what I mean about the blogging? I came to mention the new book and I've written a short story about the new games. Sigh. Have a great week.
P.S. Carley says to try Rosecliff HD. It's a good hidden object game with other mini-puzzles included.
