Games For That Shiny New I-Pad

     Howdy. I thought I'd change my greeting to a more country sounding one. Today is Christmas and I thought I'd help out the folks who have a new I-Pad or I-Phone. Here is a list of the very best games for you to buy for that shiny new device. I have a list for the puzzlers and one for the shooters among you. Let's start with the shooters, since my wife is cooking breakfast and can't tell me about puzzles right now.
1) 9MM- This is a game in which you are a slightly shady cop. You steal a satchel of money from a drug dealer and have to shoot it out with his minions. I played it all the way through. It is very long, very intense, very cool. For 99 cents, you should be investigated by Internal Affairs for buying this game. (Sale)
2) Nova 2- The preeminent space shooter on the app store. You fight your way across an alien world. You don't have anything personal against the giant mechs and soldiers but hey, you have to put them down. It is very deep and very good. On sale for 99 cents and it is a steal. If you work for a living, it will likely take you months to finish it.
3) Shadowgun- This game is on sale for $2.99 and it is so worth it. It is a long and good game, a devastating combo. You are a hired gun, in a future galaxy. You go into an alien world to take down a mad scientist who builds cyborgs and giant monster robots. It's hard to beat but will provide months of enjoyment.
4) Carnivore, Dinosaur Hunter- In this game, you go out on Dino hunts, like you're in a Jurassic park. When a T-Rex is coming at you with the speed of a freight train, you'll be glad you bought this game.
5) Modern Combat 3; Fallen Nation- Great war game. Graphics and game play are among the best on the I-Pad. It is set during world war 3 and you play as an American soldier. America has fallen and you have to get some payback.
6) Rainbow Six- As the commander of an elite SEAL team, you must complete various missions. The responsibility of keeping your team members alive as you breach doors and land on oil platforms weighs heavily on your broad shoulders.
7) Rage HD- Intense action and graphics for shooter dudes. About as much fun as you can have without breaking the law. Battle mutants in underground, spooky places. This one is shorter but totally worth the cheap price.
8) Real Golf 2011- Yes, I know it is not a shooter, but I have spent more time playing it than any other game. It is relaxing and pleasurable.
9) Asphalt 6, Adrenaline- The best racing game on I-Pad. You race all  over the world. The competition will run you off the road, and you wreck them, where possible. The graphics and gameplay are superb. You will literally have your pulse quickened by the racing, and perhaps by the voice of your 'spotter'. A must have.
10) Desert Zombie- An outbreak of zombies has occurred and since you are on someone's hate list, you are sent into the combat zone. Fast paced, action-packed, great graphics. Yeah, I'm up for that. 99 cents. Let's see you get a game for that price on X-Box.
     Well, there's a quick list to start you off. I'll put a link at the bottom of the post for my write-ups of I-Pad games and subjects. There are a bunch of them, they're free and fun. This afternoon, I'll have Carley give you a quick list of her favorite puzzle games. I call her the 'High Priestess of Puzzlers' and she is good at them. Until that time, I'm CE Wills, from the author's green retreat.

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...

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: 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...
