Odd Ending For Mass Effect: Infiltrator

Hey, everyone. Having trouble with my Internet service yet again. My heartfelt appreciation to Wild Blue, possibly .... Never mind.
     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.
    One thing I find really cool about Most Wanted is that your car achieves damage from your wrecks. Note in the photo above that the rear bumper is falling off my Dodge Challenger. As you damage your ride, you sacrifice speed, which of course is more in line with reality. You may be able to see that my rear window is smashed as well.
    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!

Four Free Games

     Hey, everyone. If free games makes the start of a new week a little better, we're in luck. Check these out on your friendly, neighborhood app store. 1) Cowboys vs. Aliens vs. Ninjas- This is a dual stick shooter, much like Mini-Gore . You are an old-west cowboy with a vast array of weapons (earned gradually). You have to move and shoot, avoiding death, as you battle Ninjas and aliens. Some aliens are quite large. Some enemies are big Sumo Wrestlers. There are sword-wielding ninjas and these aliens that yield a mini-nuclear explosion when killed. When your enemies die they leave behind little stacks of money, or skulls. You collect these items because of a strange hobby of trophy grabbing for your macabre collection. Just kidding, the items can be spent or used as the game progresses. This is a good game and I played it for a while last night. 2) The Heist - A puzzle game with a twist. As you try to open a bank vault, you must face a series of different puz...

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: 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...
