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.

The Biscuit

    Hey, everyone. What a relief that Christmas is over, huh? I don't think it was meant to be the way it is.     I started thinking about the so-called good 'ole days today. My wife says that at her house, they would take a left-over biscuit and shine their shoes before church. I one-upped her by saying, "Oh, yeah? I ate the biscuit when everyone got finished with it. And I was grateful for it." Truly, though, you can and people did, shine their shoes with a biscuit. Hey, they were greasy little buggers.     Speaking of greasy little buggers, I remember when everyone had wells and were very conservative about water, particularly those of us who had to crank a handle up and down to get a bucket of water. There was no daily bath. (No showers in those days, mate.) About twice a week we took a bath and here's the recipe: The oldest kid took a bath first, then the next oldest etc. You can see why younger siblings hated the older. Bathing in the...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

Fishdom,the Smart Cover and the Natural Blond

      Hey, everyone. I have played several different games lately. Mighty Mouse has gone 'free' and I've played it a little. It's okay. You fly through the air and punch bad guys, mines dropped by Oil Can Harry's plane, and try to avoid hitting anything unless you are pushing a button that gives you super speed. There are a lot of levels but they get harder, fast, and that takes some of the fun away. Still, for free, I can't complain. Also, Polly Purebred is fairly attractive, for a mouse. I wonder if she is a natural blond? Only her hairdresser knows for sure.      Fishdom Harvest HD is an older game that we've had for a while. This is a fun, relaxing game that has you swapping tiles so that you can complete levels and advance. As this happens, you earn in-game cash and decorate your fish tank with fish, plants and equipment. I like it a lot.      I understand that Shadowgun is now coming out with a version that is o...
