Game Review: The Last Man Standing

    Hey, everyone. I bought a game today called The Last Man Standing. This game is made with the Unreal Tech Engine and the graphics are outstanding. When you pay 99 cents for a game with graphics this crisp it is pretty cool. Here's the recipe.
   Far in the future there has come a woeful time. There has been a mutated virus, the sort of problem that has turned most females into zombies. These ladies have destroyed all males with one exception. This dude looks pretty rough and if I could transport myself to this era, I would probably be the best looking guy on earth. Ha, ha.
     Your controller is a non-mutated, non-zombie lady, who is very attractive. She sends you out on missions to kill the undead women. You appear in a foggy forest and face off with wave after wave of these pitiful creatures. Fortunately, you have a Gatling gun and the women have, well, ... let's talk about that.
    As you fight your way through waves of these hapless persons, you get a variety of enemies. They get stronger. Some come out of the mist dragging a heavy duffel bag. (I don't even want to know what's in the bag) Then there are the truly disgusting Pus-Heads. Surely, my eyes deceived me, but it appears they cough up glowing, radioactive crud into their hands and throw it at you. If it hits you, it sizzles and causes you pain. (I'm not kidding). There are also little zombies and a tall drink of water called a blond bomb. She seems to have explosives strapped to her belly but I haven't seen her explode.
    There are also some weird trees with massive spores. The controller tells me that the spores are poison and I should stay away from them. She is insistent and I try to do what she tells me to do, because she is attractive and I am the best looking (only) man on earth. Ha, ha.
    When your character walks, you can hear the gravels crunch under your feet, which I really like. The controller lady will, if you survive a little while, launch a missile attack which kills the remaining zombies. Then you go on to the next wave. She'll also air drop a cache of ammo occasionally.
    One thing I like about this game is, hey, I can actually play it without getting irrevocably stuck. Another thing, I write some Science Fiction, (The Amulet Covenant) and I must say that I like the story behind the game.
    Is this Shadowgun? No, but neither does it cost $8.00. Nor does it make you mad enough to bite a nail. Is it worth 99 cents? Heck, yeah. To me at least. I think that with a few more levels, enemies and the like, this game could be a big money maker. I like it as it is.
   By the way, the first time I played it, on level 7, no zombies came out. It was like I gave a party and nobody came. I went back and started the game over from level one and ran it up to level 10, no problem. That's on my I-Pad 2, which, tomorrow, becomes old news when they announce the I-Pad 3.
    From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.

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...
