The Nuclear Worm

     Hello. It's been a tough week for me. Work-wise, among other things. The weather has been a ... bummer. The worst thing I have dealt with this week was the dreaded Nuclear Worm of Alien Zone.
     My blond-haired, pony-tailed character has fought her way, bravely, through 3/4 of this huge space ship. It is a ship that is overrun with multi-limbed zombies, humans with antennae, giant crabs without butter or salt for their legs and massive ape-like creatures that shamble about in a murderous daze.
    I have probably used 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 500 med-packs. I am constantly picking up armor and weapons dropped by fallen enemies. Afterwards, I sell them in the shop for a few coins; like a purveyor of melons in the market place.
    I have stumbled onto sealed rooms, where civilian medical personnel cowered in fear, awaiting a heroine. I may not escape from this lunatic asylum, but at least I will have earned a grudging respect from my foes. If I make it through this, I have promised myself beer, pizza and a nap. It is in this manner that I refuel my massive thews and return to the vigor that is typical of a warrior.
    I am on Level 12 of 16. So far, the worst thing I have faced is the dreaded Nuclear Worm. Oh sure, you think. A worm. It is to laugh. Then you walk into an area where open fires burn. Then a big, thick tentacle pushes its way up through the floor. it is a massive red worm and it spits globs of fire at me. I shock it with bolts of electricity and shoot it hundreds of times. In a freak of nature, it has a gauge above its head which shows how much life is left in its loathsome carcass. I take hope as I see the bar go down. I injure it and it retreats into the bowels of the ship, only to return, spitting fire and taking names. Ha, ha. My name!
      My immunity button allows me to stand and fight, yet I still use around 15 med-packs before the beasts dies. It screams out to its nameless forebears as it writhes in agony. Do I care? Noooooooo, not so much.
     Earlier today, a man asked me what kind of week I had. What a mistake! After I told him this story, he walked quickly away with a wary glance over his shoulder.
    I am CE Wills, killer of worms and taker of names.
P.S. Temple Run 2 is available, for free. It has great graphics. The gameplay is fast and furious.

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...
