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!

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...
