12/16/11 Games


    Hey, everyone. I was on the I-Pad just now and noticed that you can buy the I-Phone version (plays fine on I-Pad too) of Plants Vs. Zombies for 99 cents. One of the best games on the store, for sure. Also, Asphalt 6, Adrenaline HD has gone free today. It is the best racing game on the store. Let me say that my version was bought some time ago. I was reading some reviews on the store and it may be that Gameloft has inserted more in app purchase stuff to cover this game going free. Still, just refrain from buying stuff for real money and you're cool. Also, it looks like Gameloft has put out some free versions of other games. I can't check them without downloading a new version so just use your head. Chief among them is 9MM, one of my favorite games. The free version may be a partial game or ad supported. I don't know.
     This morning I downloaded several more freebies but I haven't had time to try them, so I wouldn't be able to recommend them yet. I got a shooter, on-line variety, called Frontline Commando, an RPG called Evertales, Real Soccer 2012, Tires of Fury, Epic Truck and Real Tennis. If any of them turn out to be massively fun, I'll holler at you. That is southern for, I'll let you know.
     The previous post, I had mentioned a game and got the title a bit wrong. I'm talking about a freebie called Puzzle 26, The 7th Day.
   One final note. One of my favorite match three games is free today. It is Akzend. If you like that genre, try it.

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

    This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
