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.

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...
