Zombie Road Trip and Cube Cannibalism

    Hey, everyone. I have had a bit of fun with a free game called Zombie Road Trip. It is a zombie apocalypse and you are tasked with surviving a harsh environment. You are being chased by a motley aggregation of zombies who are certainly portrayed in a cute manner. You can outfit your vehicle with weapons and fire them by tapping on the right side of the screen, above the flip button.
    You can flip your car in mid-air, either forward or backward. As if the horde that is on your heels is not pressure enough, there are brave zombie dudes who rush at you from in front. Their selfless task is to slow you enough, with their dying breath, to allow the horde to overwhelm you. I admire their grit. Ha, ha.
    You, on the other hand, must shoot these chivalrous undead so that they cannot slow you down. As you progress from level to level, the scenery changes, transporting you from green hills to a rock quarry. At times you advance to a point where you can't see the horde behind you but can almost feel their fetid breath on your neck ... er, bumper.
    Speaking of bumpers, I have purchased, with in-game cash, earned by my exploits, a doodle bug, and outfitted it with a rifle.
     This game is
1) Cute
2) Free
3) Fun
4) The in-apps could be a little cheaper.
5) There is a cool bird. He can be shot while you are airborne. This, among other things, gives you bonus points. He squawks at such times and the feathers fly.
      I just bought a mustang. It is yellow. I am a level two escapee, I guess. I like this game, but be warned, there are ads. I don't understand the spinning wheel and the roulette thing between rounds, either. Check it out and see what you think.
     Hey, guess what? I downloaded an update for two games the other day. Both of them messed up the game so that they won't even open. Namely, Deadzone and Bladeslinger. Some games, though probably not these two, are actually messing up their games with updates so that you will have to buy the new version of said games. My wife is very upset with Fairway Golf. Frankly, if you are enjoying a game it is probably best that you don't do updates. Maybe Apple will get a hold on these folks.
     Last Sunday, I went back and played most of Mass Effect: Infiltrator again. I played the early levels over and over until I built up credits enough to buy a lot of cool upgrades. This made the game so much more fun, since I was outfitted in a manner more befitting my rank and talents. Ha, ha. I think that game is on sale now for a cool 99 cents. It is a great game and a steal at that price.
     Also, I got a free game called Death Call. It is a shooting gallery game. I normally don't like those but this one is fun. it is also free and has a few wrinkles added. You have a shield to put up if you need to recover your health. There are different western characters who dare to oppose you, along with some aliens and explosive devices. The difficulty ramps up and makes it rather challenging. I played it for an hour or so and found it to be a pleasant diversion from my duties.
    Hey, I heard about an odd food treat the other day. A lady I know makes Buttermilk Popsickles. Yeah, I know! It is freaky. My wife likes to put a big scoop of cole slaw in her chili. Everybody's taste is different, I suppose. I like a little mayonnaise in pinto beans, so I have no right to critisize others.
    Well, good night from the author's green retreat. This is CE Wills.
P.S. Carley is playing a free game called Edge Extended. It is a puzzle game in which you must roll a cube around a geometric landscape and capture various other cubes in a display of shape cannibalism that I find alarming. Just kidding. She likes the game and gives it 4 stars out of 5.

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...
