Game Review: Armed Beasts

    Hey, everyone. I have been playing a new game called Armed Beasts. This is a free game with good graphics and cute game play. You star as one of the Eben. These are critters with human characteristics, such as walking erect and carrying weapons, which I hope I don't ever see in real life. You are fighting to save your world from animals who have gone off their rockers and have multiplied like, er, rabbits. You progress from map to map, battling with dual stick ferocity like Minigore. It seems to be a fun game. I only just a moment ago had a serious run-in with a huge, roly-poly sheep. He had lesser-sized, sheep underlings on his side and they ganged up on me. I used my six-guns again and again, reloading countless times until I feared the barrels might melt down, and still the wooly rascals defeated me. Bummer. I always preferred a cotton/polyester blend, anyway.
    I look forward to playing more of the maps because the names are intriguing. Places like Ice Mountain, Lost Temple and Molten Cave. I just changed my character from Eben, a rabbit with a green beret and two 9MM handguns, to Salvatore. He is a big, ugly bulldog but he packs two assault rifles, which I anticipate needing in my confrontation with that huge sheep.
     In the store for this game, the stuff like health additives and the like are available. If you resort to buying coins, rather than earning them through game play, be advised that the smallest pack of coins is $2.99. I wish that all the games would feature a pack of coins for, say, 99 cents. If I play a free game very long, I make it a point to buy something. By the way, I saw a coin pack for $99.00. Are my eyes deceiving me? I'd have to be supremely aggravated at a sheep to pay that kind of money for a weapon.
    Ha, ha. I just saw that my new associate, Salvatore, carries a weapon called a "Chicago typewriter". Due to it's pleasing chatter as you mow down the sheep, I suppose. Before I tackle that big sheep-person again, I plan on adding some 'damage', 'ammo' and 'reload speed' to my character's weapons. Then I will walk out and face the sheep. It should be shear magic. That's a joke and an intentional misspelling, I think.
    For those of you who have been playing Major Mayhem, you may want to check this game out.

P.S. Hey, I had to mention a few more things. This game has a lot going for it. I just hit a level where there are ghosts and monsters, as well as a big vampire that came after my character. There are also lizards in lab coats (where's Spiderman when you need him?) , animals with suitcase nukes and a nice variety of foes. You really should try it.

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...
