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.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
