Stuff Your Stocking With Games, Baby

    Hey, everyone. Just a quick note on games. Nova 2, the great space shooter game, just went to 99 cents at the app store. This is a steal at that price. Also, Hero of Sparta 2, an epic, lengthy game with awesome graphics, is free at the moment. It's a sword fighting game but is cool enough that even I liked it. There are monsters and climbing, all the stuff that big kids like myself like. Gangstar Rio is another $6.99 game that has dropped to 99 cents. I just bought it, at that price, so I can't say if it is good or not.
    My wife just bought one of the Brokensword  games (The Smoking Mirror). It is a mystery, but she hates it. You just walk around tapping stuff to see if it will help you. It is 800 Mbs. of memory. Should have been good. Maybe I should give it more of a chance before I slam it? I mean, for 99 cents, what do you have to lose? I feel guilty if I complain at all.
    EA games has started their Christmas sale with a lot of titles. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is certainly worth a look at the price of 99 cents. I have played it and it is cool. Of course there is a string of other titles for a cheap price. I mentioned several on the previous posts. For $10 you could get enough games to last you for months.
    Jetpack Joyride has gone free. It is a good game. I paid 99 cents for it a while back. You fly around and dodge electric bolts and missiles.
     For you puzzlers, Around The World In 80 Days (Premium) is free at the moment. I have it and it is a good game. Sometimes I will just go on the store and type in 'Gameloft' or 'EA Games' and see what that developer has listed and if they mention their sale items. Things are pretty frantic right now and you can stuff your stocking for a few sheckels.
     Well, the unfortunates like myself have to work today, so I must say goodbye, from the author's green retreat.

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...

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 ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
