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.

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

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

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
