Plight of Zombies

   Hey, everyone. I have been trying a couple of free things. One of them is a free IOS game called Plight of Zombies. It is a simple puzzle game in which you have control of zombies and are trying to guide them to food. (Brains) Yeah, I know. It does sound a little gross. Any normal humans which you encounter are turned into zombies. There are obstacles to bypass and power-ups to obtain. In the store you can use your in-game cash to buy stuff like sunglasses, a Sheriff's hat, snorkels and night vision goggles for your undead friends.
     This game reminds me of Spy Mouse, quite a bit. It is rather fun, and free for a limited time. Be sure to get the full version, rather than the lite, since both are now free. There are 150 levels to the game. I have played the first 14 levels.
       When you guide your pet zombie around the maps, there are civilians with shotguns which you must avoid. You have to watch the civilian's range of vision, (clearly marked by red lines) pausing your zombie as needed, lest you get him ventilated. Ha. ha. The civilians just shot my guy when he pushed through a pile of tires and tried to get a brain. His little bones came flying out. Then a message came up on the screen which merely stated "Bullets not yummie!"  I would have to concur with that. If you can approach the humans from the rear, you can overcome them and turn them into zombies. One question occurred to me. Why the heck would normal people keep spare brains lying around a warehouse? Are they trying to lead poor zombies astray? Is it a thing like putting out bait for mice? Perhaps we'll find out the answers to these interesting questions, later in the game.
     All you have to do is trace a path with your finger on the screen and your zombie will follow it. This seems to be unwise for them to do this. I mean, I could just lead him off a cliff or something. But really, Zombies are not great thinkers.
     I am also reading a free book called The Reluctant by C.S. Splitter. It started out very slow, but now, at the point where I am 3/4 done, it is becoming quite good. I'll do a full review in a couple of days. It is about a private pilot who gets involved with some really odd people, simply because he wants to make enough money to keep his plane.

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

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

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 his AI, but Cybe
