Game Review: Robot Times 1

    Hey, everyone. I mentioned a new game earlier and I thought I'd come back and review it, now that I have played it for about an hour. This game (Robot Times 1) is seriously worth a dollar. It is a lot of fun. The graphics are very good. There are no ads. There are no in-app purchases, if you can imagine that. Here's the recipe.
      In a secret weapons factory, battle robots have become self-aware, like the movie called Terminator, and are killing the scientists. You are a good robot and are sent in to fight the mean robots. The rascals are pretty smart and have positioned themselves on rooftops, scaffolding and on the ground. Moreover, they have attack style, robotized helocopters that shoot at you and ping bullets off your handsome, metalized frame. There are suicide robots that scurry across the ground and blow themselves up just as they reach you.
     But hey, you're no pilgrim, yourself. You have two big 50 caliber guns swinging from your arms. You have three buttons on the left hand side of the screen. One of them fires rockets. One of them calls in an air strike and the third calls in a parachute drop of ammo refills. You have 15 missiles to start with, but they run out pretty quick. If you don't use them, you probably won't progress very far. Therefore, the drops are highly coveted, mostly for the rockets.
     I have spent $6.99 for games that were not this good, and which had poorer graphics. When was the last time you saw a game this fun without in-apps? I commend the developers for their lack of greed.
    Just thought you might like to know that this one was out there, waiting, like a robot on a roof.
     I'm CE Wills.
Addendum: Hey, I just learned that they are charging 99 cents for each level of this game, so my statements concerning in-apps were totally wrong. My apologies to those of you who grabbed it.

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...

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...

Bottle On The Doorknob

      Hey, everyone. I took a day of vacation today and really enjoyed it. We went out and bought some flowers. Flowers don't do well up here as a rule so we buy some and have a couple of big pots of assorted flowers on the deck for the summer. This year we are going to set the pots out in the yard a bit. The reason for this is the moisture and dirt in the pots seems to attract ants, scorpions and perhaps gnats. Bloody drag, what?     This weekend there seemed to be a bad odor in the house in the area of the master bedroom and the master bath. We could not isolate what the problem was. We did a number of things, including pouring vinegar and baking soda down the drains, which boils them out in rather spectacular fashion. Put a handful small amount of baking soda down them first, then pour vinegar down them. Very cool.     We finally deduced that a mouse had crawled up between the floor and sub-floor underneath the jacuzzi, after ...
