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.

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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

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...
