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.

  3. 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

  4. 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.

  5. 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: 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 ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
