The 'Free Game Gluttony' of CE Wills

    Hey, everyone. I finally got some problems corrected with internet issues today. Consequently, I was able to sit and browse the web on my I-Padster this evening. After a couple of weeks of not being able to frequent my favorite haunts like App Shopper, Flipboard, Touch Arcade, 148 Apps and others, I went overboard and downloaded numerous games, most of them free.
1) Carley said to mention one for the puzzlers, so here it is. Free for today and Sunday only. Awakening, the Dreamless Castle. This is a hidden object game but it also has numerous side puzzles. I can tell she likes it because she talked to the game as she played all evening. Nuff said.
2) Braveheart. I haven't had time to play it, but get it while it's free.
3) Mech Guardian. Likewise, I haven't played it. Free.
4) Army vs. Zombie. I actually played a bit of this one. It has nice graphics. There are elements of the tower defense genre and it is certainly worth a look for free.
5) Wolfenstein 3D Platinum. Free for a limited time. Be careful to get the version that does not say free in the title. That one is always free and is not the full version. I normally don't like retro games but this one is highly rated, and free, so I plan on playing it tonight. It's a shooter, by the way.
6) Juggernaut, Revenge of Sovering. This is a popular freemium game. It is a role playing game (RPG) and I am looking forward to playing it. The graphics look superb in the screen shots, as well they should, when the file size is a whopping 360 MB.
7) Finally, I bought a game tonight. It is the very popular game called Crow. It was on sale for a reasonable 99 cents. I haven't tried it but the reviews are really good for this, so I'll try it for that sale price. Typically, I shy away from horror themed games but I thought I'd check this dude out.
     The reason I mention these games without a review of them is simple. If I wait until I've played them, you will miss the opportunity to get them for free. As I play these, I'll come back and review some of them. Free games that really pull a vacuum, I just won't review, because no one should bad-mouth a gift.
     About the picture at the top of the page. This is Yelena, an incarnate computer chick from N.O.V.A. 3. What about those graphics?
     From the virtual streets of future San Francisco, this is CE Wills, the game glutton.

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...
