My I-Pad Runneth Over

   Hey, everyone. There are a lot of games out, right now. New games and updates to existing games. I hardly have time to play them all or review them all, certainly. God of Blades is on sale for 99 cents and I bought it. Angry Birds Star Wars has issued an update for the Ice Planet Hoth section and I just downloaded it. Awesome, a rather striking run and jump game is another I downloaded. I think it was a dollar.
     Writer Rumble is a puzzle game in which you have critters that are attacking you. You form words from letters on a screen and once formed, the words are hurled at the voracious creatures, killing them. You can hurl words at your friends if you like. Not bad words, but words you form from the letters. Ha, ha. The coolest part of it is that you choose different personalities of famous writers like Edgar Allen Poe as your avatar. Each one has different attributes. I haven't played this game a lot, yet, but it has a different flavor to it and would appear to be well worth uno dinero.
    Speaking of awesome visuals, you should see Lili, an adventure game which uses the unreal engine to chronicle the travels of a young girl through a colorful, animated world. It too is on sale for, you guessed it, a dollar. I am also trying out games like Stan Lee's Verticus which went free over the weekend. It is fairly fun. You are falling into the center of the earth's core and shifting your body to pick up good things and dodge bad things, sort of like life.
    If you still haven't bought Storm the Train for 99 cents, you are missing one of the better games on the store. I have played it for hours and hours. The farther I go, the cooler it gets. Now I have more drones that come and fight for me. They fly or grind along the ground as I advance and take care of my 'light work'. Ha, ha. There is also a power-up where you get a cool space suit and start shooting blue lasers at the zombies and skeletons, ninjas and the like. This is my favorite method of spreading terror on a train truly bound for nowhere. If Kenny Rogers played video games, this would be his style. (This is a play on words for Kenny's song, The Gambler)
    I tried to download an update for Infinity Blade 2 (an older update) this morning and was politely told by my Padster that there was no room at the inn. 64 gigs and stuffed to the gills. Hopefully, I'll be back to give an in depth review of some of these games in the near future. May your device ever be full of good things. Go in peace, gamer.
P.S. Hey, I almost forgot. I was playing Blood Roofs and bought an upgrade called Warp. It puts a glowing pink circle on the screen. If you jump through it you are transported over a long stretch of roofs, in the air. A monster smashes out of a building, chasing you, as the woman you are carrying shoots backward at it. It was very cool.
I'm CE Wills.

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: 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 ...

Stick Bugs

    Here at our place we have these odd bugs that look very much like a stick with legs. They are whoppin' big things, 6 to 8 inches long. They're called stick bugs. They'll give you quite a start if you feel something on your head and feel around up there and contact one of them. They like to ride piggy-back on each other and I don't know why that is. I'm not crazy about them.     Last night I told you about the army of raccoons that ran away as I came home. Evidently they returned later because I found two tiny footprints on the dust of my car. I was relieved that they didn't write "Wash me".     Today I was changing the filter on my water system. My well is good despite the dry weather but I have iron water that requires a pretty good filter, a 5 micron. This takes out the sediment and makes your toilets look more civilized. Anyway, as I was doing this I heard a tremendous crash. It sounded like it was quite a way off so I didn't investi...
