New Levels For Rage

    Hey, everyone. It's a great week for gamers. There seems to be more going on than there has been for over a month. To start with, there are new levels out for Rage. They are titled as Kraken and Aqueduct. They are available as an in-app purchase for 99 cents, when you get the new update. The graphics are movie quality and the action is a blisteringly fast blur of violent confrontations with mutants in creepy underground places. The levels are fairly short but very much worth the modest price.
     Interestingly enough, I saw no word of this update on any of the gaming sites so I suspect it took everyone by surprise. I played the Kraken level just now and it is a Mutant Bash episode with a similar theme to the first levels, as your game show host in a future Earth sends you through dangerous mazes haunted by murderous mutants. I love J.J.Stokes' wise cracks like "You're my favorite contestant, I'll be sad when they kill you". (I suspect that he is a liar.)
    I just took a few minutes to play the Aqueduct section and it is also very cool. It is Mutant Bash T.V. as well.
     Even with the relatively short clips, I have to rate this as 5 stars out of 5 for awesome graphics and intense gameplay. It has not been stretched out with puzzles and wandering around looking for things, like a lot of longer games. It is in-your-face action and you had best be ready to rock and roll when you press the button. I have played Rage on the 360 and much prefer to play on the I-Pad.
The mutants have learned some new tricks like swinging from the overhead rails in the screen shot above. I hope you enjoy it.

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 ...

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...

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...
