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.

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...

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 hi...

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...
