The Piano Player and His Pards

     Hey, everyone. I proceeded in my new game tonight. I am speaking of Plants vs. Zombies 2. I'd like to tell you a little about this third and final 'world' of the Wild West. If you look at the picture you'll see that you have a new plant which shoots lightning bolts and electrocutes the enemy. There is also a plant which slings water melons. When you feed them plant food they just explode pink melon stuff all over the place. Very cool. Oh, yeah, the zombies skeletel structure shows up when they are shocked. See above.
     My personal favorite in this world is the piano player zombie. He comes rolling out with his piano and a funny hat. He plays some great old west type of tunes. When he does, all the other zombies dance and switch lanes . This messes up your defensive formations.There are times when it gets so chaotic that I just sit and watch, a good way to lose.
    There are also some gunslinger zombies who wear ponchos like in Clint Eastwood movies. If you shoot away their poncho, you see that they are wearing a metal breastplate. It is tough to penetrate.
     But that's not all the wonders of this place. Nooooooo.There are midget zombies who ride on bulls. The bulls throw them over your fighters unless you have a 'tall wall nut' in the way. (Not shown.) There is a zombie with red hair that carries chickens around. He has about 5 or 6 with him. They go nuts when he drops them. They peck all your stuff and run around like... a chicken with its head cut off. Ha, ha. The lightning plant works good on the chickens.
    So, with lightning bolts, chickens, bulls, piano players, dancing zombies, noise, confusion and everything else, this game is a riot of activity. It overpowers your senses, almost. For a jaded old dude like me to laugh out loud is something, but that's what I did when the piano man came out. Billy Joel he was not, but it was great. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the music.
    From the author's green retreat, I'm CE Wills.
P.S. I almost forgot about the miner zombie. This old codger has a stick of dynamite in his back pocket. Moreover, it is lit. (Please don't try this at home.) So, when the dynamite blows, the guy goes sailing to the back of your defenses, where he wreaks havoc by walking back toward his own guys and destroying your plants. If you have a pea shooter that shoots in both directions you'll be okay.

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 you know by now, their strategy

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away. We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was here today. He is my gaming consultant. I tol

Men In Black 3, Just Empty Black Suits?

Hey, everyone, out there in the world! Nice of you to stop by. Today I downloaded Men In Black 3 for I-Pad. There were a number of positive reviews on the app store, but there were several reviews that complained about the game failing to open. This was my experience. It opened to the screen shown above and froze there. At least it was free. I have an I-Pad 3, so maybe you will have better luck with yours. EA games is having a big sale for the holiday weekend. I already have most of the titles which are on sale, however. I did buy several games this weekend, though, and I'd like to tell you about them. Get Out of My Galaxy is a Mario type of space game in which you control a monster with 4 arms. The dude eats rocks and has a penchant for slapping little cone-headed aliens. There are a certain number of aliens to slap on every planet, then you move on to the next world. There are power-ups to grab as you go along, for health and other things. There is prickly vegetatio
