Dead Trigger 2: Exploding Chickens and Golden Pigs

    Hey, everyone. I have spent about 5 hours playing the newest zombie game called Dead Trigger 2. It is a very good game. Great graphics, as you can see above, and action galore. It is also free, which is cool. I was very glad to see that they have added a choice of difficulties, ranging from easy to hard. I was very appreciative of this and had, in fact, e-mailed them to that effect.
      You are a warrior, trying to survive the Zombie Apocalypse. At first you are in the USA, fighting in missions. You start saving a few talented people, with whom you start to 'network'. For instance, there is a lady who wears a very cool shirt. She will fix you up with some painkillers, for some of your in-game coin. It is important to keep some of these medicines around so that you can heal yourself when you get into a tough fight. Then you save a tech guy. Then you save a weapons specialist. When you buy stuff from these people, it may take seconds or hours to get the finished product back to you. For instance, I have just up-graded my Tech guy (Cost me a bunch of in-game dinero) and he says that it will take him, like, 6 hours to get that done. Bummer.
     I had another guy build me some Frag Grenades. That only took 30 seconds. That's faster than Burger King.
      By now, you know the drill. There are better weapons and blueprints to unlock. In some of the levels I came across a golden pig. I guess he is worth some bonus points or something. He's not alive, never was, but you have to shoot him. He explodes when you do this. Bacon doesn't fly out, just golden pieces. the world's most expensive pinata.
     You think all this is weird? Au Contraire, Mon Ami. Back at the hideout, I have this guy who will, for a price, build what he calls Boom Chickens. He actually straps dynamite to feathered creatures. Then, when you are out in the streets with the undead coming after you...you release the chicken. Ha, ha. Just remembered the " Release the Kracken!" comment from that movie. Release the Chicken! When you release the feathered rascal, all these zombies go ape. They bend over and run around with their hands wide-spread, trying to catch the deadly fowl. When a big crowd of zombies surrounds the little guy, he sets himself off. Kaboom!
     Before I forget, this game is free, with in-apps. I went back and bought a package of gold coins; because it was such a fun game, I didn't want to freeload. You can have plenty of fun  without spending real-world cash however. It is fairly difficult to advance in certain places, though.
     By the way, the 'boss' zombies are doozies in this game. There is one huge guy that they call Kamikaze. He has a barrel full of explosives strapped to his chest. You need to have grenades to use on him and a few of the other bosses. Like this one bizzarro dude who spits gross stuff on you. There is a scientist who wears a contamination suit and kills you with radiation. The one guy that really rubs my fur the wrong way is this fellow that, when attacked, turns around, bends over and...well, never mind. I can't remember if they call him suppository...no, it was something else. In the African campaign you have to go into this spooky old mine and examine toxic waste. It is a tough mission, even on 'easy'. There are barrels that explode if you shoot them, by the way.
    The bottom line is this: Dead Trigger 2 is a great game, very playable. It's free, with in-apps, and you probably won't want little bitty kids to play it. I suspect that it will become hugely popular and a classic of its overcrowded genre.

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 ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
