Tonight I got to see the end of Mass Effect, Infiltrator on my I-Pad. The last chapter is an epic battle with a guy that is a clone of my own character, I guess. He uses weapons identical to my own, cloaks himself in invisibility and levitates himself to escape my fury. It is a protracted battle with your best hope being a ' run an gun' style. I'd like to thank Trevor for his help in this game, enabling me to see the ending. I was stuck in that long hallway with the obnoxious and stubborn snipers.
The ending left me wondering. I mean, you stand over the fallen warrior, point your weapon at him and shoot him, while telling his ' boss' that you are coming for him. (You are talking to the boss via comm link.) That is the end, other than a link to a web site.???
At any rate, it was a great game and well worth the $7 or $8 which I gave for it. To think you could buy it during the recent sale for 99 cents....
This morning I started the game over at Chapter 1. It was great fun, and easier this time around.
Carley has been playing a game called 7 Wonders: Ancient Alien Makeover. This sounds like a TV show in which people from another planet get a new hairdo, but it is a puzzle game. Carley is P.O.ed because it is not saving her progress. After she works her butt off beating a level, she leaves the game and has to come back and do it again. Nothing makes a gamer more angry than that.
I have finally got around to playing a bit of Need For Speed: Most Wanted. This game was also on sale for 99 cents, recently. It is a lot of fun. It will quicken your heart rate a bit when the cops are trying to smash your car into a bridge abutment as you are racing some gear-swapping dude. There are road blocks, similar to the action in NFS Hot Pursuit. The main difference between the two games is that Most Wanted has more of an upgrade system for cars and their details than the older Hot Pursuit. Both are very good.
Nothing against compact cars; love their economy, but in my fantasies I'd rather start out a race in a Camaro, a 'Vette or a Beamer. Of course, it is a building progress, and one must exercise patience, as well as a heavy foot.
We were trying a match three game called Letz HD, which is a neat game that would be more fun for kids than old shooters like me. I deleted it because it took the liberty of turning on my notifications on the Padster. It is an odd game in that the tutorial is hard for me to follow but it seems to be more aimed at a cutesy sort of child's puzzle in the graphics and dialogue. It involves letters for words and matching three or more of things. I feel at a loss in telling you more. You may really like it.
It has been cold and snowy today, with a little rain. Indoor sports for me!
