Blood and Glory: #1 and #2

    Hey, everyone. Yeah, it's the weekend! The new movie, Taken 2 comes out today and I am going to see it, I reckon. (That's Southern for 'planning on it'.) But hey, there are games to talk about, so let's do it.
    First of all, The Amazing Spiderman is on sale for 99 cents. This is a huge game (and file) and I have been waiting for it to go down in price before buying it. I bought it yesterday, but I haven't played it because... I have been playing two freebie games called Blood and Glory and Blood and Glory 2: Legend. Here's the recipe for these sword fighting games.
     In Blood and Glory the characters are speaking either Latin or Italian, I think. This is fitting, since they are fighting in the Roman Coliseum style, like in the Gladiator movie with Russell Crowe. (One of my favorites.) I actually took a year of Latin and two years of Spanish in school, but they didn't teach me the words for the macho, sword and killing, lingo needed here. Not to worry, because they put out a sequel, Blood and Glory 2: Legend, which is in English.
    The graphics on both games are truly exceptional and both are really fun. If you have played Infinity Blade you will feel right at home with these titles. You swipe across the screen to attack in various ways. You have a shield which can be used a few times during each fight before failing. You can do cool spin moves and parry the bad guys blows. Then you have what is called 'Special Attacks', which are particularly devastating.
     These games are both free and I like them a lot. There are ads and in-apps, but hey, everyone has to make a living. Both games are big on in-app purchases and I figure that you won't get very far without buying coins or rubies. With these, or your in-game earnings, you can upgrade weapons, shields, potions and the like. As you travel around the 'world map', fighting in these ancient tournaments, beware of a chick named Golatta. She is all kinds of fine, but she has these two foot long, metal claws, all the better to shred your skanky behind. Ha, ha. By the way, this game is rated for those 17 or older.
     These games are worth playing just for the artwork, lovingly rendered by a real artist. The fighters have wild tattoos and harness, along with that cocky arrogance which warriors, the world over, seem to exude. Oh, another thing I liked, there is an option to turn off the blood. I think this is very considerate of the developers.
    Bottom line, I plan on spending a few bucks on some rubies, and fighting my way to Rome, or wherever this trail may lead.

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 ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever. Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...

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...
