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.

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...
