Game Review: Air Master, 3D

    Hey, everyone. I have been playing a fun game that involves aliens, flying saucers, strange planets and a guilt trip. The game is called Air Master 3D, as the erudite among you must suspect by now. This game is free for the trial version and a paltry 99 cents for the full version. I played the free version for a few minutes, then went back and bought the full version. Here's the recipe.
    First let me explain what I said about the guilt trip. If you fail to vanquish the aliens, the game tells you that because of your failure, a planet has been destroyed and billions of humans have been enslaved for eternity. If that doesn't inspire you to battle harder, what can?
     In this game you pilot a space ship and you fight the enemy on several bizarre planets, which are beautifully rendered in  these nice pastel colors. In an innovation that I haven't seen before, you can actually control the height of the terrain that you are flying over, low, medium or high. I prefer the low terrain, mostly, because it is easier to see the gun emplacements, satellite dishes and compounds of the enemy. While I was in a dog-fight over the ocean, I seemed to actually go below the water briefly and came back out. I don't know if that is cool or just a glitch because I am still a novice at this game. There is a lot of flak in the air as you fly over the thickest of the enemy gun nests. The enemy has actual flying saucers, like UFO lovers used to see here on earth. They also have more stylish, X-Wing type craft. Your job is to blast them from the sky, whatever they are in. When you come swooping in to low levels to launch a missile at a comm center, it is a lot of fun. I like this game quite a bit and I suspect you will too. Try the free version first, would be my advice, but I figure that you will like it enough to spend a dollar.

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...

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...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
