Early Thoughts On Dead Trigger Game

    Hey, everyone. I've really been watching for the new game called Dead Trigger, since I am an aficionado of zombie killing. This game is put out by the creators of the highly successful game titled Shadowgun. In Dead Trigger, you star as a survivor of an apocalyptic event that has turned most of humanity into zombies. Wait, has this already happened in real life? Just joking.
     Birds of a feather flock together, so you start hanging out with other survivors, protecting them from the zombie hordes, since you are skilled with weapons. They send you out on dangerous missions, some of which seem a bit trivial. For instance, I got sent to find this dude's case of whiskey. This reminds me of what happened to Miller in my book called Lost Gap. You may remember that Miller's boss had designs on Miller's wife and sent him on a dangerous mission. But I digress.
     Dead trigger is not about puzzles. It is not about strategy. It is not about role playing or magic potions or cute characters. It is the bare-bones necessity of survival in a grim and foreboding world, which I am good at. There are better weapons to acquire, thank goodness, because it gets intense out there. The zombies team up and try to distract you with glowing spots on a door, like Nova. Then, as you stand stupidly tapping on the door to open it, they sneak up behind you and deliver the coup de grace. Rest assured, I will have my revenge on these perpetrators.
     You know, the story and its intense, forthright approach to gaming reminds me of my favorite (at times) game called Rage. I am more of a stinker than a thinker. What I mean is, I leave the puzzle solving to Carley. While she sits calmly playing her new favorite game called Great Solitaire, I kick zombies around. I came to rock and roll and you better be ready to do just that with Dead Trigger. There is no quarter asked nor given between me and my foes.
    The graphics of this game are excellent. If you are a parent, let me say that it is a gory game and might not be suitable for the bambinos. They claim that there is a huge amount of missions and that if it were played straight through, without stopping or failing, there would be a whopping 40 hours of game play. This means, for me, about 6 months of diversion from my life as a mild mannered writer.
    This game is only 116 MB, fairly small for a game of this nature. They must be figuring new ways to cram pixels in corners or something. If it's as lengthy as they say. Ha, ha.
    The bottom line for me is this: It's a good game at a great price of 99 cents. There are in-apps, of course, but I cannot say whether you have to have them to proceed. By the way, they start you out with an automatic weapon which is far superior to the first one which you buy. If I had it to do over, I'd keep the MP4, rather than buy the Colt 1911. Duh! What was I thinking? Good thing I am a geekosaur, rather than an actual soldier of fortune.
   This game hit the top 3 in the app store within hours after its release. No surprise there, I guess. Shadowgun has a legion of fans worldwide, many of whom will read my words. If you see me battling the zombie horde out there in the desolate buildings, give me a hand. I'll be the guy who is backed in a corner, selling his life dearly, armed with a  mere pistol.
    Adios from the author's green retreat. I'm CE Wills, zombie snack.

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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
