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.

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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

To Kill A Lobster (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. I had not planned on posting tonight but I have to make something right. I gave Shadowgun a good review last night but I didn't do it justice. Tonight I got past the vicious Cyber Lobster and went on to play a lot more. This is a terrific game! Last night I would have rated it 4 stars out of 5. Tonight I give it 5 stars out of 5. By the way, here's a spoiler alert. If you don't want to know how to kill the lobster, don't read any further. I say this because I had several people come to the blog that were looking for the silver bullet ( figure of speech from old Dracula movies, not literal weapon for lobster) to kill this behemoth.      When the monster appears, he starts firing missiles at you out of his mechanical mouth. Don't run and hide behind a barrier. Get close to him and run back and forth, dodging missiles until you can blast the lime colored ball of light that appears periodically over his head. I suspect that this is his AI, but Cybe
