Mutants: It Should Be a Hit

    Hey, everyone. Mutants is an interesting game. I think that this little game should be a hit, for several reasons.
1) It is fun. It has that 'one more time' feeling to it when you quit.
2) The variety. Every time you start, there is a different goal. For instance, you are  sometimes tasked with going from level to level and collecting flags. Then again, you may need to seek out 'dog tags' lying about. (the kind that soldiers wear for identification.) Sometimes you are told to kill all the pink blobs or amoebas, whatever the heck they are. I like the way these things sort of jelly-roll their way along the platforms of this, er, platform game. They drop from level to level in fond hopes of absorbing your scrawny, little pirate's body into their mass. Shooting them is okay, too.
      The coolest thing about the blobs is this: when you shoot them they defecate quantities of gold coins, which I find enchanting and profitable. I have watched the Animal Channel for hours without seeing another creature that can do this. I think I'd rather have them  than a herd of alpacas.
     While I'm talking about the coins, let me say this. The game is generous with the in-game cash and you can play it without shelling out for in-apps. As I said yesterday, I liked the game enough that I would have felt guilty if I had not bought something. So, I bought a 99 cent in-app which gave me $20,000 coins. Not only can you buy a lot of guns, grenades and med-packs with $20,000 gold coins but there is no telling how long it would take those blobbies to produce that much gold. Ha, ha. Besides, the food bill for them must be astronomical, as much as they poop.
     I almost forgot to tell you about the fiasco I had with this game. No big deal, really. I bought the in-app. Then I was gonna look at the leaderboards and see how I was doing. (Not good.) Then it wouldn't allow me back to the game. It was stuck on somebody's score on game center. So, I had to re-download the game, after I deleted it. When I did, I had no 20,000 gold coins and I had to shoot more blobs and they had to ..., well, start their coin production.
     At any rate, you should try this bad boy. I like it. It should be a hit, even though the graphics and game are simple. Good is good, fun is fun, and a blob that will do this gold coin thing on his death bed is okay with me.
     I'm CE Wills, blob shooter. And yes, I pick up their coins without worrying about germs.
P.S. watch out for the lasers. They change direction sometimes.

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...
