Will Max Be a Payne In the Subway?

   Hey, everyone. Late last night, after I blogged about the honeysuckle, I played my new game called Max Payne Mobile. First of all, let me say that this is a great game and you should drag out a few of those dusty shekels that you carry around in your faded jeans and buy it for the excellent price of $2.99.
    "Well," you say to me, "What's with the title of the post?" Here's the recipe.
    I am on the initial part of this game. I have wandered into some sort of gang war in New York's subway. Unfortunately, it is one of those games where you wander around, trying to figure out what to do or where to go. I feel like a lost puppy, only I have a shotgun, a Desert Eagle pistol and I have just ventilated about 15 goons. Hey, they weren't zombies, but they came around, acting bad, and I had to put them down, you know?
    In the screen shot above, as I was walking down this hallway, I started hearing a voice. It sounds just exactly like Wolfman Jack's voice. Jack was a famous Disc Jockey from the 1950's or 1960's. His voice probably doesn't truly sound like a wolf, but it is certainly gravelly. You may want to check out the Ron Howard flick called American Graffiti in order to hear the Wolfman's voice. But I digress. So, I hear this disembodied voice, apparently coming from the @!**** walls or those posters you see. I feel that 1) I am losing my mind or 2) There is someone standing outside my window and trying to scare the crappola out of me or 3) If I could find the voice it would give me instructions on how to get through this level and proceed on my butt-kicking, name-taking journey.
    So, I'm stuck again. I plan on going to you tube and searching for a video walkthrough on the game. Hey, I'd rather cheat than be stuck.
     There is a cool feature about this game called Bullet Time. This is a button you can push to put the action in slow motion. You can dive through a doorway and blast baddies while in mid-air. I mean, this is really cool. I also love how the crooks are blown almost out of their socks when you blast them. I mean, a shotgun would certainly propel them away from you and I feel this adds a nice bit of realism to the action.
    The story line of this game is very good, though dark, and the graphics are wonderful. The wandering around, trying to figure out what to do, draws a vacuum, if you know what I mean. The price is terrific and there is a huge amount of content. Check it out. If you enjoyed the awesome 9MM game, you'll like this one. If you should figure out how to get the subway situation resolved, or how to find Wolfman Jack, could you please leave a comment? This subway is creepy, what with all the dead bodies and disembodied voices. If you don't hear the voices and you are a shrink, give me a call.

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...
