To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth.
     When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is his AI, but Cyber Lobsters are not my area of expertise. Anyway, he will crumple like a rag doll after 20 or 30 bullets in that tennis ball looking thing. Keep a fresh magazine in your gun while you dodge missiles.
    This game is poised to take its place among the upper echelon of I-Pad games like Rage, Real Golf 2011, Asphalt 6, Nova 2, 9MM and Carnivores. Don't wait for it to go down in price because it kicks butt.

    I have had some problems with Shadowgun every now and then I will randomly fall down under the floor and have restart the level. I have also had problems with the app restarting itself and on the elevator behind where you defeat the second Cyber Lobster you go up the elevator but then it just stops and no doors or ramps do anything its really frustrating when I have to the level over and over again and sometimes when I have been in battle with the Cyber Lobster the green thing that is supposed to be above it doesn't come so I have to restart it if I had to give it a score it would be 3.5 out of 5 stars because of all of the bugs in the game I would really like to give it at least 4 but I can't even though it has amazing graphics, cool boss battles and even battling the normal soliders is pretty fun. I hope this comment made sense and I hope in the future that this doesn't happen again

    See ya

    You're a better man than me... I still can beat the damn thing. Tried now like 20 times. I can't even control the guy well enough to shoot the damn green thing. Are you playing on a tablet or a phone? I'm on an Evo. Maybe I should be playing on a tablet.

    Hey - in the far right near the front corner there's an L shape comprising a barricade and the front fence. Hide in this corner and shoot the lobsters green spot. He can't hit you back. Use your Roll function to get over to the corner barricade.

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
