Game Review: Zombie Air Sniper

    It was the Fall of the year when the plague came. Roughly half of the population either died outright or were in the process of turning into zombies. They prowled at night, gorging mindlessly on anything they could obtain, but human flesh was their favorite sustenance.
    What was left of the military from The Great War rallied to protect the people. Men like myself, with a military background, were pressed into service in many capacities. I became a gunner on a helo. Our first mission came on my very first night, my first flight.
    Some folks in an isolated farmhouse had a ham radio and had called for help. It was a large 3-story house and refugees were fleeing to it from the surrounding countryside. Unfortunately, zombies were streaming toward it as well.
    I can't describe the pressure as we circled the old house. I, as the only gunner, was all that stood between good, decent people and a horrible death. With shaking hands, I put the scope on the first moving target. He was shambling along, blank stare, half naked and blood on his jowls. I squeezed the trigger and put him down. There was no time for gloating. I saw normal humans sprinting toward the house and zombies approaching from all directions.
    Hey, everyone. Just thought I would immerse myself in the game a bit. I bought this game for  a mere 99 cents and it is fun. As you level up and get more accurate weapons you become a dangerous man. It is clear that the zombies chose the wrong farmhouse.
    There are automatic guns, on tripods, which surround the house. If you shoot the guns, they start blowing zombies away automatically, which lightens your load a bit. If the zombies clump up, take out several at once with a rocket. Shooting crates yields extra ammo.
    The same company has a very similar game called Steel Rain. I read a review on the app store that indicated that Steel Rain was just like Zombie Sniper except that it had more screens and chapters. It is also 99 cents.
    For the money, this is a fun action game and I think I'll buy Steel Rain also.
    Have a good evening. I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

    Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up.     His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000.    It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

A Postscript

    Hey. I just tried the update for Shadowgun on my old I-Pad. The graphics are even better than ever, if you can believe that. The rolling feature is a nice defensive weapon during battles. It is activated by a small button next to the fire button. It was kinda cool. On my old Padster, I was on the level where you kill the Cyberlobster for the first time. I certainly settled his hash a lot faster this time. I hid behind a shield and popped up and down, blasting the yellow ball that signifies his AI controls. I must say that, at least on the I-Pad 1, there is a bit of crashing, in spots, with this update. I am sure they will fix this quickly. I haven't played the new levels because my I-Pad 2 is charging and you can't play the new section, called The Leftover Expansion Pack , until you have finished the game. Very cool that they didn't charge for this update. Class.     I am looking forward to Shadowgun 2. From the lair of the Cyberlobster, this is CE Wi...
