That Amazon Lady

       Hey, everyone. Good to see you. No, I can't see you, really. I did hear, just the other day, that certain government agencies can turn on the speaker of your cell phone and use it as a microphone so they can hear every word you say. But I am here to talk about a game I bought the other day called Justice League. It is about those Superheroes from DC Comics who keep the universe relatively safe.
     This game came out a couple of months ago and was released at the price of $2.99. A couple of weeks ago I bought it for 99 cents, on sale. Although it is certainly worth the 99 cents and was probably fairly priced at $2.99, I leave the game fairly disappointed. It could have been so great!
    You start out by choosing a character to be your avatar as you battle an alien invasion. You see the following characters: Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash and Green Lantern. Here's the first irritation; you can only play as Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman unless you want to buy 1500 power points.
    So, I started out with Wonder Woman. Don't say it, please. She is good-looking. How is it possible that Amazon.com has failed to see her value as a natural spokeswoman for their company? She is the world's foremost Amazon.
     So, you start your battle. Wonder Woman has her magic Lasso and her super-strength. You use Wonder Woman to beat up the bad guys, finish levels, level up and manage a complex system of management and rewards.
You smash crates to find glowing blocks of health and power.
     Another thing which I don't like is this: If you play as Wonder Woman for a while, then you want to play Batman, you have to start over at Level 1.
     Also, the in-apps seem a bit pushy and the whole power up, upgrade scene is more complicated than it has to be. The graphics are not eye-popping and the gameplay is limited in scope. The characters seem a bit smaller than they need to be, as well.
     True, it's fun to tap a button and see Superman rise into the air. Then you use the directional pad to guide him in flight, with his fist extended, like the comics.
    So, you start your battle. You can spend in-game coin on upgrades like Power, Focus and Will. There are things like Health, Energy, Attack, Defense, Critical unit, health recovery, and other things to improve.
      By the way, you can select Active Skills and Passive Skills.
     Overall, I think that the game was okay. It is still 99 cents, as we speak.
     I'm Ce Wills. Avengers Assemble! Ooops, wrong group of heroes. Go Justice League!.

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...

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...
