Hambo HD, Make My Day

    Hey, everyone. I just grabbed a freebie called Hambo HD. This simple physics puzzler has taken the app store by storm, vaulting into a number of 5 star reviews on the first day of release.
     You'll be immediately struck by the game's similarity to Stupid Zombies, another good game. Here's the recipe.
    You play as a cute little pig. This pig is a scrappy little guy. He wears a red bandana around his head and carries a Beretta. His mission is to kill the army pigs which dare to oppose him, like his name sake, John Rambo, might do. In order to fulfill his mission and rescue his friend Bacon, Hambo will have to bounce his bullets off walls and steel girders. He can shoot through glass walls. I just played a level in which I had to shoot the glass beneath my feet, then fall to the grass below. Then I was able to shoot the piggies. As you might expect, billiard players will excel at the ricochet style of play.
   This game is free, fun and has a bit of a 'cool factor'. In the store you can buy new costumes for Hambo. You can dress him like Harrison Ford and call him Raider of the Lost Pork. Or maybe you want to dress him in shining armor and call him Sir Spam-a-lot. There are over 200 levels and I think this may be a big hit. For those of you who hate to get stuck on games, there is a solution button which will play through the proper scenario of a level. You get a certain number of these for free. There are also 'skips', like Angry Birds.
My wife pointed out that you should download the version that says Hambo HD. If you get the version that says Hambo Begins, you only get 42 levels. Both are free, so get the full version.
    Well, I have to go and eat my bacon and egg sandwich, then go and do chores. Talk to you later.

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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours. EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them. Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
