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 puzzles. Namely, Block sliding, Tile-sliding, Unblock Me and Symbol Arrangement. In the tile sliding venue you must shift the tiles so that an electrical wire is formed to carry current. With the symbols, you could use Indiana Jones to decipher the hieroglyphics. Ha, ha. My wife says that you must arrange the ancient symbols so that there are no like-symbols aligned in any direction. (Side to side, up and down or diagonally.)
3) JAM: Jets, Aliens, Missiles- A side-scrolling battle in which your ship must blast enemies from the sky. I liked being able to target multiple enemies with a slide of my finger. I haven't had time to play it much, being hindered by the bizarre practice of working for a living.
4) Final Run-  An apocalyptic game in which you must drive a car across a scorched zone filled with dangers, hoping to return a Doctor to the outside world. I bought this game at release and thought it was pretty cool. Unfortunately, I got stymied after a little while and couldn't seem to progress, so I just quit. It is a huge game, a bit different, with an interesting story. I'd definitely try it for free and I hope you do better than I. Those of you who play well will doubtless have fun with it.
      There you go, something for everyone. Another cup of coffee is calling to me, here at the author's green retreat.

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...
