Game Review: Cubis Creatures

    Hey, everyone. I finished Notch 7 last night, in the wee hours. Of course, I still have to type it, proof it, send it to Smashwords and Amazon etc. Still, I have found time to play a new game which I bought for 99 cents. It is the above -mentioned Cubis Creatures and it is a good game. You can actually get a free version of this game but I was flush with cash on this particular day so I sprang for the 99 cent version. Ha, ha.
    When I get aggravated with the shooters, on which I get stuck, I like to play puzzle games and this is one of the better ones. That said, it has a Biology class feel to it because it looks as though you are performing surgery on a furry creature who has the misfortune to be infested with brightly colored cubes. But hey, my Granny kept her kidney stones on the mantel in a jelly jar, so I can deal with this.
    Here's the recipe. There are 80 levels, with more puzzle packs available. There is a grid inside the creature's belly. As cubes appear, the player must slide them to the appropriate 'lane' and then tap the screen to shoot the cube into the grid. When you match three, similarly colored cubes, they disappear. The grid is 3D and you can shoot cubes under other cubes, at times. There are stone cubes, which you need to blast with lasers. There are 'osmosis' cubes which pulsate with energy and have the power to change the color of the cube they contact. Plus, wonder upon wonders for all you shooter dudes, there are bomb cubes which explode and clear out a mess of other cubes. There are 'fractured' cubes which shatter when you slide your cube into them. These sorts of changes in the game keep it fun as you go along.
    One thing I don't like is the fact that the games are timed. When you get down to 15 seconds, it goes click, click, click. Argh!, the pressure!
    This is a game you'll enjoy, I wager. Try the free version and then you will likely splurge, as I did, and get the full version.
    I'm CE Wills.

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: 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 ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
