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.

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...
