Godfire's Big Doors, Monsters and Masks





  
     Hey, everyone. I bought the game called Godfire, Rise of Prometheus late last night. I have been playing it for hours today and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I think it is one of the best games you can buy and it is so worth the $2.99 sale price or the $6.99 normal price. My advice is to run, not walk, to the ole app store and buy this adventure. Because it is an adventure indeed. Here's the recipe.
     I am playing  the role of Prometheus, who has a visit from an odd masked lady. Visits from masked women almost always turn out to be trouble. If you don't believe me, ask Tom Cruise. At any rate, this lady wants me to do her a wee bit of a favor. She wants me to 'liberate' (steal) some chips of stuff that will enable the human race to live more full and enriched lives. Cool. I am up for that, being a hero and all. This sort of thing is expected of you.
     The lady's mask has tears running down the cheeks, which I find strange. I can only assume it is some sort of sympathy ploy. You'll note in the picture above that I gave her "The  Look". This is a stare I affect which makes women melt. Didn't seem to work on her...
   You wouldn't believe the places she sent me. I had to go through some of the biggest doors I have ever seen. I fought a huge troll that had straps affixed to his flabby body. He also had spikes growing from his shoulders. I was being friendly and offered to take him to my Gym for a workout on the Nautilus stuff. He took offense and we went at it, hammer and tong.
     Speaking of weapons. You have swords and armor that you can upgrade as you go along. Using in-game cash or real cash. As one progresses, it is advisable to upgrade things like Health, Attack, Defense and Wrath. Let's talk about the Wrath.
    I have always thought that wrath was a bad thing. One should try to control one's temper, don't you agree? Evidently, when fighting Titans, a little wrath is helpful in battles. Just so you know.
    I have a Perk, also. Right out of the box, I got a golden ball of string, which is something I always wanted. This stuff, when tapped, will lay down a glowing trail to any treasure in the vicinity. This is sometimes gold coins, or healing, or even wrath.
There are other perks as well.
    I like the sword fighting in this game. You fight a lot of guys. Some of them are, I hate to sound negative, but they are butt ugly. One is a Minotaur, half man, half bull, like the old legends. I had to put some swordplay on that dude. Then there was a woman who got on Zeus's bad side and he supposedly turned her into a giant spider. The only way to beat her, er.. it, was to wait until her eyes turned green. I figure it is some sort of jealousy thing. Ditto for a monster, again female, with 4 legs and two arms and the weirdest teeth you have ever seen. She has rotating blade-like teeth and emits a shrill cry that I found unnerving. Again, watch for her eyes to turn green. I figure Zeus must have a thing for chicks with green eyes.
     There are three difficulty levels and I beat Normal. The graphics are as good as any I have seen, ever, on IOS. Oh, by the way, some advice for battles. When you fight multiple dudes at once, watch for one geezer that stands to the side and throws blue globs of health at his minions. Kill that guy first because, obviously, you can't have him healing these guys you are disposing of.
    Also, walk over all vases, because they have gold. Speaking of gold. I didn't have to buy in-apps to finish. I found the game quite fair and above-board. I had no lags or problems on my I-Pad Air.
     It seems that there is a touch of Renaissance on the app store right now. I have bought several nice games lately. For several months I have much enjoyed gaming again. Speaking of renaissance, you should check out the architecture in some of these places. I fought in one city where they were building giant horses. I gather the residents had some sort of horse cult. I figured they probably liked to get wasted on Saturday night and crawl up in these giant horses. Whatever.
     I guess that hits the high points of this excellent game. I highly recommend this game. Good night.

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...
