The Cylindrical Death Device

      Hey, everyone. I recently bought an excellent game by Chillingo called Storm the Train. This is a platformer and you are tasked with running and jumping, but with the twist that you are on board a moving train. I have chosen the role of Graham, a secret agent who has been sent to the scene by a helicopter transport and dropped on this rolling vehicle of carnage. Heck, the train has been overrun by zombies, skeletons, vampires and space robots, to name a few. The bosses are very tough and include Count Dracula, who throws spears at me.
     You can accumulate gold coins in the game and use them to upgrade weapons and clothing. At present, I have a rifle and an Uzi. Ammo is limitless, thank goodness, because the fighting is fierce.
    My favorite part of the game is when I come upon a "Cylindrical Death Device". This thing is cool. It is perfectly round and rolls toward the enemy. It is impervious to their attacks and grinds them to powder. Very cool. Then you hear a warning siren and you know that there is a missile coming. At such a moment, you must hit the 'jump' button and leap over the incoming missile, or your cylinder is shattered. This is mega-cool.
        Another fun part of the game is when you use your ill-gotten gains to buy a drone. This is like a mechanical flying friend who shoots all your enemies with a ray-blaster. It is a welcome break from fighting all by yourself, you know? He only hangs around for a while, then disappears. I feel better when he is hovering over my rear shoulder, I'll tell you that.
    When you fight your way to the front of the train, you must jump to a train which is just in front of your train. (Always wanted to do that.) When you do, the clientele of the train will change. On one train there are graveyards with tombstones and gold coins. There are upper and lower paths to take on the rail cars. I love to run along the top of a car, blasting skeletons, then drop to the lower car and run backward through an area, shooting zombies in the back when they think that I am above them. Pitiful creatures, to match brains with a more or less human being.
     This game cost me a whole dollar. It is fun, action packed and one of the better games on the store. I played it for 2 hours last night. The in-apps are not too demanding and I think you will like it. From this spooky train,
   I'm CE Wills.

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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley. Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever. Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
