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 ...

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...

Hard Reset

    Hey, everyone. Yesterday I had an odd day. I had I-Pad trouble with my I-Pad Air. Let me tell you about it. I'll have to give you the "Reader's Digest Version". Ha, ha. This is an old saying, common during the dark ages. At that time Reader's Digest put abbreviated novels out for consumption by those who didn't really have a lot of time. They were quite good, usually.      So, a weird thing was going on with my Padster. To wit, I would buy a game and it would not appear on my I-Pad. The store would indicate that the game had downloaded but alas, there was no icon. Distressing. How could I possibly save Duke Nukem in The Manhattan Project ?      I bought other games, like Alpha 9, and they didn't appear either. I just chilled out for a while and meditated on the problem, hoping it would go away or a flash of genius might overtake me. I plugged the Padster into my PC and added some of my old games. They didn't appear either...
