Game Review: Crazy Caps HD

     Hey, everyone. Puzzle people need love, just like everyone else. Although I love the shooter games, I play a bit of the Match 3 games as well. I just recently started on a new one called Crazy Caps HD. It is a fun game and I think you might like it. Moreover, it is free and as far as I can tell, has no in-app con games going on.
    As I said, it is a match three. There is a board laid out with bottle caps of different colors and designs. You move a cap so that it will line up three of like color which causes them to flip over and fall off the board. As you progress through the matches, a meter, which resembles a tube of acid, proceeds to fill up on your right. When it is full you proceed to another board. Soon you have cool additions, such as a cap with a rocket on it. When you tap that one it zooms off the board, taking all the caps with it in the direction the rocket is pointing. This racks up some points on filling the acid tube, believe me.
    There are other special caps as you progress. For instance, there is an atomic cap and a cap which has a spooky face on it. The spooky face takes out all the surrounding caps when it explodes. There are also black caps which do nothing except to impede your progress.
    There are three modes with this game. In puzzle mode you merely try to get these two bird faces in contact with each other. They start out separated by part of the caps and you move them until you get them together. Survival mode is a deal where you see how many caps you can match in one minute. I don't like to be timed in anything so this is not my favorite. My favorite is the classic mode which I described at the first of this post.
      This game has nice colors, graphics and animations. I like the sound of the caps turning over. There are no adds or in-app purchases. It is free at the moment and it is one of the very few games that carry a five star rating on the app store with over a hundred ratings. I recommend it to you puzzle folks. It is nice to have a game which you can actually play without getting stuck, angry or ripped off by in-app purchases.
    For you guys that like nostalgia, do you remember when soft drinks made by Royal Crown Cola (RC) had bottle caps that sometimes had an imprint under the cork? If there was a red diamond, you won a free drink, a blue diamond won a free carton of colas. You dug the cork out with your fingernail to check. I think soft drinks were a nickel at that time.
    Speaking of nostalgia, click on the label link below this post and read more posts about this sort of thing. The labels are a cool way to check out some of my older posts. They are all free, with no adds. I particularly recommend the ones about mountain lions, so I will put that label below this post as well. Bye.

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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

    Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours.     EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them.    Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
