The Wall of Air and the Chainsaw Nomes


    Hey, everyone. You guys go to bed late, don't you? I have been up late myself, still playing the new game called March On Oz. I thought I'd toss in a few screen shots to show you the color and graphics.
     For a hillbilly like me, it is nice to get out and stroll around a cool place like Oz. I have made some new friends. For instance, I have a friend that is a huge Jack-o-lantern. The trick is that if you tap on him when he is around your enemies, he explodes ice and snow all over them, which cramps their style. His brother pumpkin explodes with fire, which wreaks havoc in the ranks of the Nomes.
     Before, I had a Fairy as a guide. Now I have an exotic queen and her daughters. They appreciate my service to Oz so much that they have given me a magic ability to call forth a "Wall of Air". To me it looks like a big granite rock with eyes, but it appears to be an effective defense system. He talks also.
     Alas, I have new enemies as well. To whit, there are these Nomes which have arms, but the arms are chain-saws. When they come up against the ranks of my arrayed forces, the sparks fly like crazy.
    This game has a whole book of instructions and hints, as well as history. I recently read some things that helped me and would be classified as a spoiler. One thing was the use of formations when you put your guys in an array. You have to have plenty of cake produced so that there will be 'currency' to buy more soldiers. So you place 4 bakers in a square and they produce a far greater volume of cake. This secret alone helped me past a level where I was stuck. I also learned that it is better to call forth your monkeys before the enemies reach the rear area of your army. Also, if Cayke, your fairy, is blasted, you must replace her immediately, or right now, whichever comes first. Ha, ha. This lady is a cake producer extraordinaire.
     I got a free game called Run and Gun last night. It is fun, for an endless runner. In describing its game play I would say that you run and you shoot goblins. The 'steering' is by tilting the screen. You must swipe to slide under things and swipe up to jump obstacles. It is okay, and free at the moment, I think.
     I got another freebie called Alien Zone. It is a very reasonable 'free' at the moment. I haven't even opened it yet due to obligations in Oz. Ha, ha.
    Cute Kill is another game I haven't opened, as is one called Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden. The latter is a Hidden Object, mystery style of game. I don't know why I got it, really, because I don't normally play those, but the darn graphics looked so beautiful, I couldn't resist. Looks like I may be burning the midnight oil in gameland tonight. Remember, for a dollar, Oz is very cool. Try it!

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...

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 hi...

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...
