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.

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 hi...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...

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...
