Cake As Currency (March On Oz)

    Hey, everyone. I just bought a game called March On Oz for a paltry price of 99 cents. Here's the recipe. This game reminds me of Plants Vs. Zombies but has a heavy Role Playing style to it. You are swept up by a cyclone and land in Oz. The place is a mess because evil forces are corrupting it.
    The main problem is the Nomes, formerly peaceful creatures who are under a spell. Your tutor and guide, a fairy, takes you to meet Ozma, the Princess of Oz. She is under a spell and is being transformed into a tree. This is certainly cool from a 'green' point of view but hinders one's mobility. Ha, ha.
     So, Ozma talks you into helping the kingdom. It is at this point that I wish that I had a Scarecrow, with or without brains. But, I will get by with soldiers and Burbury Bakers etc. Oh, yeah. Floating pieces of cake appear. If you tap on them you accumulate in-game currency, hence the title of this post. You English chaps, or was that France(?) should be able to chuckle at that. (Let them eat cake?) Whatever.
     This game has a surreal musical score and outstanding graphics. The tutorial is long and well done. You even have a dictionary to describe your characters and their abilities. The game has been meticulously composed and more updates are promised. It is probably great for kids and I think adults will get a kick out of it. My guide said that she would tell me more about Oz but she feared a dude called Kah-Pe-Rite. Ha, ha. The humor is fun for grown-ups. I guess I qualify.
    The Princess wants you to find the lost heroes of Oz and also a guy named The Mighty McGuffin. I am up for the challenge. As you know, the flying monkeys in the Wizard of Oz scared me when I was a kid and I hope that they are not in this game. Ha, ha.
     By the way, you choose your features, clothes and hair for your character. I am resplendent in black shorts with skulls on the legs, a pirate hat and an eye patch. (An I-Patch?)
     The file for this game is several hundred MB's so it should be a long campaign. I'll see you on that yellow brick road. As for our enemies, let them eat cake.
In dread of flying monkeys, 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 ...

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...

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...
