Megatroid: Good Game For Free

    Hey, everyone. So-called platform games are usually not my cup of tea. These are the Mario-stlye games in which your cute character runs and jumps on various platforms, hence the name. Yesterday I downloaded a freebie of this genre and have really enjoyed it. The name, as the erudite among you already suspect, is called Megatroid. There are in-app purchases for better weapons and the like but you can play a good long ways without spending any dinero.
    The graphics are excellent and the controls are fine. You are a space warrior, a lady, who is battling strange robots in a strange place. There are numerous hazards and I'll try to remember a few. You start out with a rifle which fires ion blasts. There are spaceships and droids. There are big mechanical heads which float in the air and shoot purple plasma blasts at you. Not only that, but there are rotating saw blades in the floors as well as spikes on walls. There are also cool anti-grav blasts of air that lift you up to other levels as you step on them. Other blasts of air blow you sideways.
     Coolest of all is when you get to the end of a level and go through a Warp Gate to another planet. It's like a big wormhole in space which you go through. Zapppp!!!! When you do this, hit the random button to generate a name for the new planet, like YMHPZ. Sounds like one of Superman's old enemies. You know, the little guy with the funny bowler hat?
    Megatroid is a good game and you should give it a try. It is not a huge file, either.

Four Free Games

Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

Game Review: NFS, Hot Pursuit

This game was one which I refused to download for a while, even though it was on sale for 99 cents. I thought that it looked boring and narrow. Boy, was I wrong! This game totally kicks butt. It is one of those rare games that will actually give you an adrenaline rush. It is that intense. The developers, EA Games, have recently updated the app to include two main avenues of play. You can either be the cops or the racers who are trying to evade the cops. As a racer you have to deal with cops trying to hit you and make you crash, cops buzzing you with helicopters, oncoming traffic, tack strips spread across the road and roadblocks. In the cop mode you are a cop and you are trying to stop a reckless racer by any means, fair or foul. As a racer you can use nitrous oxide for increased speed, overdrive capability and oil slicks. You also can jam the cops communication with a jamming unit. Like almost all games these days, it gets harder as you go along. I prefer my games to...

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...
