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.

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...
