Max Adventure Review

     Hey, everyone. The newer games have emerged on IOS for the upcoming weekend. I grabbed a few of them, some free and some paid. Justice League is out. It is $2.99 and I refrained from buying it. I may read some more reviews, watch some video clips etc.
    One game, which I bought for 99 cents is called Max Adventure. I bet you guys expected that from the title of the post. Ha, ha. This game is fun, cute and would be an admirable addition for your young person. I was on the app store and I saw where a youngster had replied to some of the game's detractors and had written that "I'm a girl and I like it!" She had added a lot of emoticons. It was very cute. But I digress.
    In this game, which has a free version, you play as Max, typical earth kid. Aliens have landed in your neighborhood and taken all the adults away. You are tasked with going around the neighborhood, rescuing the kids and taking them to your tree-house. Sound easy? Well, it has its challenges.
    For one thing, the aliens have littered the area with their pods. They are unsightly as decorations. Worse, they continually eject aliens until Max finds a dropped ray gun and blasts the pods to smithereens. He must shoot the aliens, as well, but why shoot the aliens when you can destroy the pod and eliminate the source? Then you can clean up the aliens that are left. Speaking of clean up, these dudes have purple blood, so the game is cute, rather than gory.
     There is a variety of aliens. Tall ones with looooong skinny legs. They shoot at you. There is another one that looks like a blob. He splits into two smaller bad guys. The good news is that there are power-ups lying around which you can pick up. There are health packs, which heal your bod, packs that make you strong enough to steamroll over a big, fast moving alien which can outrun Max, and my personal favorite, things to enhance your weapon. These can give you a wider field of fire, dual shots and other cool stuff. There is one power-up that will help you run faster. Probably not as fast as The Flash, though. You'll need to go buy Justice league to experience that. Ha, ha.
     Even though I am an old geezer and prone to play shooter games which involve zombies, I like this game. I think you'll find it entertaining, no matter your age. I wish that the radar was a bit bigger. I didn't even see it at first. But when all is said and done, this is a good game for 99 cents. In my opinion, the developers should stick with that price. They say that the normal price will be $2.99. That might be a bit high.
     I also bought Infinity Project 2 for 99 cents. It is a shooter game, with a large file. It weighs in at a whopping half a Gig. I haven't tried it yet, but I thought that a game that size, for that price, had to be worth a try. I'll give you a shout after I play it. I also bought a new puzzler called Chicken Raid. I actually bought it for my wife because it looks like the game play resembles one of her favorite games called Cover Orange. She has played that game all the way through, which amounts to hundreds of levels. Chicken Raid was 99 cents, as well.
     If you don't have Dead Trigger yet, it is now free, so grab it. Have a nice day.

The White Chicken Mystery

    The other night I happened to come home very late. It was the middle of the night and I was driving up a steep mountain road. Near the top I saw something white in my headlights. It was standing in the other lane, standing very still. It was a large white chicken. It was probably a rooster because I thought I could see his comb as I whizzed by at my customary pace. He never moved a muscle. This is weird, don't you think?      After a couple of days to consider this phenomenon, I have come up with some plausible answers for his bizarre behavior. 1. He was conflicted whether or not he should cross the road. 2. He was feeling cocky and decided to play chicken with the traffic. 3.He was being hen-pecked at home and had decided to end it all. 4. Someone had egged him on to do it. 5. He had just watched the movie Fantastic Four and decided to try to stop a truck the way that Ben Grimm did on the bridge. 6. He had driven himself crazy wondering if ...

Cake Is Better Than Swords

Hey, everyone. On Thanksgiving, we had a get-together here at The Author's Green Retreat. One lady brought a cake which I wanted to show you. It had the look of a Roman Coliseum about it. Inside it was just as decadent...and fun, as ancient Rome. When I cut it open, homemade marshmallow cream began to ooze out in several spots, running over the chocolate cake and peanut butter icing. It is best served warm so the cream is fluid. Very tasty. The same lady, and her children, are people who have played a lot of Skyrim. They gave me some pointers on the game because I am having problems with it. They taught me how to fast travel, and a ton of other things, but the main thing was the armor and clothing problem. This is a little embarrassing, but let me explain. Okay. For several weeks when I played, I would enter towns and everyone I met would comment on my nakedness. I would select a tunic and shoes, whatever, go back around people and they would say something about it. I guess I w...

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...
