Where's My Weapons, Baby?

    Hey, everyone. I have noticed, lately, that more and more game makers are giving us an option for 'easy' or 'casual' difficulty. I appreciate this so much. There is a game called Megatroid, which is free today, that has the 'casual' selection. Very cool.
     I bought a 99 cent game this week that has a selection for 'easy' but added a note to that selection, "I am a baby", as a mild insult to casual gamers. This is on the game titled Infinity Project 2. Then, as you enter play after a long tutorial and weapon selection, you immediately get mugged and all your weapons and armor taken from you. Then you wander the streets searching for things you can't find. 'Easy' ? "baby" ? Funny.
     This game is a bit of an odd duck. It is an RPG stlye, set 200 years in the future. At least it starts there. Your avatar is sent back in time to 2012 to deal with an alien race that has subjugated Earth. They are some ugly dudes called the Talons. Well, they may be good-looking on their own planet, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Heck, they may be movie stars, back in Talonville. But I got off the subject.
    There are long video clips as you start the game. When you finally enter play, as I said before, you are immediately mugged and all your weapons and armor are stolen. Then you wander around, tapping people on the head to ask them questions, like so many of the role-playing, sword and sorcery style games. Without weapons, save for a knife which a lady gives you, you go into the subway to rescue some captives. Then, you can't find a gun to shoot a lock off a cage in which the captives are confined. This is a baby level?
    The file on this game is a very large one, half a Gig. I feel that the story line is a good one and the game has good potential. Unfortunately, it still needs some work, I think. Decide for yourself if you want to give it a spin, baby. Ha, ha.

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
