Puzkend (That's a Game)

    As you know, my wife, Carley, is a puzzle person. She constantly tries to convert me to this type of game. Well, tonight she was telling me all about her game called Puzkend. This game involves thinking and stuff like that, so it won't be one of my favorites. I do like it, though, and it is free. The graphics are nice too. If you can see the picture okay, you have to slide your finger over matching groups of symbols. When you do, they disappear, allowing other symbols to fall. You must do this strategically so that you can clear the board. Here's the rub, as we say in the states, and this is what makes it different from the standard 'match 3' game. I mean, the falling tiles have to go to the right place to match or you fail. Fortunately there is a button that allows you to back up as many moves as you want to.
    I've played the game quite a bit and I am now in a region where the puzzles are getting more difficult. So, while my wife is extolling the game's merits, I am interrupting her so that I can tell her about my exploits on Razor: Salvation. Was she duly impressed when I revealed that I am in the top ten on the leader-board in one area of Razor Salvation? Noooooooo. She was not. "But that's worldwide, honey," I said. She wanted to tell me that Puzkend was a 4.5 stars out of 5, as far as her rating goes. I asked her if she could fire rockets in her game. She replied in the negative and went to bed. Sigh.
    Puzkend is made by the folks who made Azkend, which is another good game. It is also free right now and you should grab it. It was one of the first games I bought for I-Pad and I played it a lot. Carley played it all the way through, which took a while.
     Hey, guess what else? I bought a new game this morning called Affliction: Zombie Rising. It is billed as the world's first virtual reality zombie game. It is supposed to be really spooky. I think that I am going to put my ear-buds in and turn out the lights, then play the game. I figure for the sale price of 99 cents I can throw it away if it scares me too bad. Ha, ha. I'll let you know how it turns out.
     From you know where, this is you know who. Goodnight.

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...
