Iron Man 3- The Space Map

   Hey, everyone. As you know, I am an aficionado of the Iron Man 3 game on I-Pad, despite my recent falling out with Tony Stark. So it came as a pleasant surprise when I saw that there was an update for that game that included a new 'map'. The graphics for the new territory (Space) are stunning on the retina display of my I-Pad Air and it has some cool things in it.
   There are purple mesh gates that slide back and forth across my path. You have to time them to a nicety when you are on hyper-speed. (The idea being not to hit them.)
     Another hazard is pink comets that flash by and must be dodged. There are regular chunks of space debris as well, but I tend to like the bright colors more as I get older??? Strange.
      The toughest things to dodge are the spokes of a rotating space station. They are moving in such a way as to be a serious hazard and I am offended that the nations of the Earth did not design their tech gear in such a way as to be more convenient for an Avenger such as myself. The next time they have a problem with Doctor Doom, I may remind them of this stuff. this may have to be a Quid Pro Quo.
    There is a new power-up called, I think, a credit accelerator, which gives you more Stark Credits or something. (Perhaps enough to buy an I-Phone 5s? (Gold, 16 Gig). Ha, ha. There is also a spot where you must fly through a swirling time warp or a black hole or something. The effects are quite nice, though you may seem to hear a deep voice in the background saying, "When you awaken you will remember nothing". That's a joke, sorry.
    The A.I.M. guys are wearing glass bubbles, since they are in space. Other than that they look the same. Also, on the woodlands level there is a distinct noise of a faraway freight train in the background. It may be from a toy train set, I'm not sure.
     The main thing about this game is a bit of a bummer for me.
When I got tight for room on the Padster a while back, I deleted this game. Then I put it on the I-Pad Air because it had 128 Gigs of storage. Guess what? When I re-downloaded it, it did not credit me with my in-apps, advanced points, better armors, the whole enchilada. I didn't weep or anything but I was clearly miffed. Nevertheless, I persevered and started over again. I toyed with the idea of emailing Gameloft about it. Sigh...
    Gameloft has seemingly alleviated the tight-fisted scoring a bit with more bonus points. Doubtless they read what I said on an earlier blog. (Doubtful) It is more fun to play and there is hope that they will relax their grip on the old money a bit more. They really have a chance to make this one of the top 5 games, ever, on I-Pad. Just keep tinkering with it, guys.
    They have slipped a few new armors into the game. One of them is strictly earned by sterling tournament play. It is called Mark 31 Piston. It is a suttle green and grey and carries a score multiplier of 9.5. (Very good)As for me, I am back here in the caboose of the game with my crappy Mark 4 (Score mult. 2.5) This armor doesn't even have an I-Phone 5s, (gold 16 Gig). I just will not let up on this. Sorry, really. Those who came to read about books, movies or animals have to be wondering what I am talking about.
    Well, I plan on watching some football, so I bid you a fond farewell, from the author's green retreat.
I'm CE Wills.
P.S. Check the Tony Stark label below.

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...
