Spiderman and Dating Siri

    Hey, everyone. I'm glad I didn't pay $6.99 for The Amazing Spiderman. I have played it for a while today and I don't like it much. I find myself playing the same challenge over and over and finding it hard to move on. I wander around and don't make progress. There are in-apps galore but they are a bit pricey, especially for those early adopters who paid full price. So, I see the future of this game as being deleted from my I-Pad. Whatever. I didn't invest much cash in it, so I have no hard feelings. The question is: How did it get all those great reviews?
    It's cloudy and cool today. The highest temperature I've seen is 60 degrees. It is overcast and breezy, as well. I sat on the porch and listened to music for a bit. My wife is at work and I am bored. I did play the game called The Last Driver. I had downloaded an update because they have inserted giant robots into the game. I do wish they'd put in some save points so I could finally see the rest of the maps. Seeing the same old stretch of road is wearing on my mind. As my British, and Aussie, friends would say, "It's a bloody drag."
    Spiderman is not in the same league with the Batman game I bought the other day. Is it worth a dollar? Yeah. But it could have been so much better.
    Hey, what the heck happened to that cool western game that was supposed to come out? The one where you walk in a saloon and the vampires attack you? I'm not talking about the Gameloft effort called Sixguns. If the developers are reading this; hey, guys. Put the dang thing out and then work through the bugs. We'll help you out by telling you how messed up it is. Ha, ha.
     Developing video games has to be like delivering mail. Trying to please 500 families is tough. Can you imagine trying to please millions of gamers? Now I guess I'll have to look up the name of that western game. It used the unreal engine and really looked great...
    Hey, I bought one of the resident evil games the other day. They put them on sale for a paltry 99 cents. I bought the one called Resident Evil 4: Platinum. The graphics aren't great on my I-Pad 3 but the game is straightforward, at least. Go to village. See zombies. Insert lead bullets into zombies. Repeat. I am really tired of this chainsaw-wielding zombono making me the guest of honor at a slice and dice party. I know it is the Halloween season, but heck...
    I like how the developers made this game where you can select a beginner's level of difficulty. Even that is tough for me. Still, for 99 cents I can't, but will, complain. Ha, ha.
     Right now I am thinking of asking Siri how to progress in the Spiderman game. I just did and she said, "Would you like me to search the web for that?" So, I wound up on you-tube, watching a video of Spiderman by Jojopet. I guess I'll keep the game for a while.
    I just asked Siri if she ever dated Spiderman. She said, "I have found six movies named Spiderman."
    So, I asked Siri if gamers are crazy people. She answered, "This might answer your question." Then she gave me a list of  stuff about a movie called The Gamers and Crazy People.
    I just asked Siri if she dated anyone. Her reply? "It's Saturday, October 6th, 2012."
    I am out of here on that note.
   I'm CE Wills.

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
