Something Fishy About That Camel

    Hey, everyone. perhaps the greatest game ever for IOS is Plants vs. Zombies. Today I have been playing the sequel to that game and it is a winner. Yes, Plants vs. Zombies 2 is out and it is a free download with unobtrusive and non-pushy in-apps. There are the normal lovable characters, both heroes and villains, and a lot of new twists. This game is cuter than a spotted puppy pulling a red wagon. There is a bit of subterfuge which you may find amusing, in a historical sense.
    In this version, Crazy Dave has a time machine and he takes you back in time to Ancient Egypt, among other places. There are Pharoah Zombies, Dust Storm Zombies that spin onto the stage, and my personal favorite... I have dubbed these rascals The Trojan Camel Zombies. Here's the recipe. I was doing my thing, planting sunflowers and battling the invaders. Suddenly, I noticed something odd about an approaching camel. There were six legs on this camel! To my surprise, it was actually three zombies carrying a cloth picture of a camel in such a way as to disguise their approach as a harmless dromedary. I immediately fed one of my Peashooters a dose of plant food. He put on a little army helmet and mowed down the Peusdo Camel with a machine-gun-like burst of peas. Disaster was averted. I have to give these guys credit. They took a page from the Trojans who conquered a city with a giant horse filled with men. If their rug had reached the ground, they would be alive today.
     I love the new Bloomerang plant. He throws the boomerang, which should be especially fun for our Aussie friends. When you feed them plant food, their weapons kill zombies on both their outward flight, and their return to your hand... er... stalk.
    Hey, next we go to the Wild West and I am hoping to see a Cedric Gant Gunslinger Plant. Ha, ha. Have a nice day!
     From ancient Egypt, this is CE Wills.
P.S. No camels were harmed during the making of this blog.

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...

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...

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...
