Lava To My Knees

     Hey, everyone. Few people wake up in the morning and say things like, "Think I'll go to Snake Mountain today and kick some butt." Yet today, I have done that. The main reason? I just can't abide Skeletor's laugh. I am on level 2-2 of the Snake Mountain campaign and it is a tougher fight than a Presidential debate. There is a mountain with its top blown 'slap off' as we say in the South. There is red stuff running out the top of it and judging by the feeling in my hot, tired He-Man boots the stuff is molten lava. Guess I should do a double jump and move on. There are dozens of Skeletor's creepy, ghoulish henchmen about the keep and they want to sword-fight with me. It is nice to be wanted.
     The very ground is unstable here. As I run, huge stone abutments are crashing around me. There is a large orange bird that flies overhead and I am 'fixing to' do a double jump and hit him with my trusty blade. I suspect that he is communicating telepathically with Skeletor and giving him a play by play of the battle. I can't abide such heinous activity. Is he a drone?
      I went to the store a while ago and saw a highly coveted ability which I intend to have. It is called Hurricane Power. It lets you spin around and around and around in a circle with your gleaming blade, mowing down your enemies. Alas, it costs 15000 pesos, or whatever the currency is here in Greyskull. I must have it.
     Well, as you may have guessed, I have purchased He-Man, The Most Powerful Game In the Universe. It was on sale for 99 cents, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Am I glad I did? You betcha. It is fun, colorful and has dynamic animations. So many little things to note as you prowl these creepy dungeons. Someone put a lot of love into this offering.
     I remember when my boys were little, they would watch the He-Man cartoon on TV. They would be glued to the screen. I watched it with them, sometimes. Now, of course, their kids are too old for cartoons, I guess. Funny how time drifts by.
     There is a little guy named Orco. When I lose a level, the rascal has me spin a dial and see if I get another shot at the obstacle without starting over. Sometimes he'll give me crystals or a med pack or something. Rather cold of the scamp to play roulette with my life!
     Almost forgot. One of the things you can grab on the store with your in-game awards is a token for the 'Power of Greyskull'. With this, your sword shoots out lightning bolts to consume your enemies. It is sweet. Overall, this game is sooooo worth 99 centabos. It is cool as a moose.
     Speaking of the moose... I bought the Mini-Gore 2: Zombies, and it is definitely worth the $1.99. There is a ton of cool enemies, including a huge moose. There is a big Chinese guy with a Fu-manchu and twin assault rifles. There is a huge, angry Chef with a cleaver, also. Colorful, dynamic and varied gameplay. A bit gory for a small kid, but who would suspect that from the title? Ha, ha.
     Tis the season to 'game your brain'. I haven't even touched Modern Combat 4, yet. Don't be surprised if I post again before the night is through. Sleep is over-rated.
    I'm CE Wills, from Greyskull.
P.S. Some lady with a bird on her head gives me advice, in this He-Man game. Odd?

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 you know by now, their strategy

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 here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

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 his AI, but Cybe
