Upon Further Review of Razor: Salvation

    Hey, everyone. I hate to sound like an NFL official, but the new game called Razor, Salvation is even better than I initially thought. Everyone who is a fan of the shooter genre should run, not walk, to get it. Let me talk about this a moment.    You have the 3 maps, the upgrades, and just when you think that you're on a sweet run against Zombies type 1 and 2, new enemies appear.     The smaller robot insects (crawlers) can be killed fairly well with your rail gun. The flying drones are hard to hit but not terribly hard to dispose of. But then...here comes the !#** big insects, the Walkers. Their front legs are armored and seem impervious to my attacks. The rail gun doesn't seem effective. While you goof around with them, the other enemies overrun you.     I'm getting more in-game cash now and the developers seem to be generous with it, plus I'm learning which of my weapons are effective against which adversary. It is a blast...

Razor Salvation: An Early Impression

    Hey again, everyone. This morning the new shooter game entitled Razor Salvation went live on the app store. I've played it for a few minutes and thought I'd give some first impressions.     It is evident that this game is meant to be massively multi-player, with the ability to organize your friends into 'factions' and compete. You can take part in groups for all major geographical areas. I.E. Australia, Europe, United States etc.     This game can also be played alone, which is my style. It is a sci-fi game, as you can see from the screenshot above. Your spacecraft has returned to Earth from a mission and aliens have decimated our civilization. In addition, there is a zombie plague going on and it is your duty to evacuate survivors. You can tell these folks because they are wearing C-Zone clothing, which is yellow.     While loading these good folks, you must kill numerous bad guys. These Xenos (aliens) include Grunts, ...

Monster Shooter, Free and Fun

    Hey, everyone. Let me salute all those of any nation who have served in the military. When you raise your hand and swear in, you commit yourself to die, if necessary, for your country. As such a person, you deserve my respect. The politics that control the destinies of little people like ourselves may make us enemies on the battlefield, but we are not so very different. We love our families and ...want to make a living. If the stuffed shirts of the world would allow it, we would most likely get along. Nuff said.     I downloaded a freebie from the app store called Monster Shooter. It was 74 MB, not too huge a file, and it is a lot of fun. Let me say that this game does take the liberty of turning on your push notifications on your device, which I don't appreciate. After you download it and play it the first time, go to settings, notifications, notification center , then turn off the notifications for that game. At least I did, of course you can do as ...

Notch 7 Is Available

   Hey, everyone. Notch 7 is published on Smashwords. Within the next day or so it should be on Amazon. It is a short story, about 8,000 words, and costs 99 cents. It will probably take about two weeks before it is available on Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Sony, Diesel and the other Smashwords affiliates, as it must go through Smashwords' vetting process.      In this addition to my western series, the gunman, Cedric Gant, rescues a lady from a raging river, only to find that her problems go far deeper than physical damage. Sometimes skill with a gun won't fix a problem. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/166267     I hope the link works. Goodnight from the author's green retreat.      I'm CE Wills.

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...

I Thought of Percy Sledge

    Good evening, everyone.  Tonight we watched a movie on satellite called Original Sin , starring Antonio Banderas and Angelina Jolie. These are two of my favorite stars and I assure you that each was at the top of their game in this rather odd flick. I must relate to you that the story itself seemed to drag in spots but this was not the fault of the leading characters. Here is the recipe.     Antonio Banderas plays a wealthy Cuban, the owner of a lucrative coffee plantation. He has a fine estate, a factory, fields and servants out the wazoo. He has the added burden of being young and handsome. He does an odd thing. He sends to America for a mail order bride. No, that is not quite the right term. He enlists a lady from the want ads to marry him. The lady is supposed to be a rather plain looking girl by the name of Julia Russell. When the planter meets her boat he thinks that he has hit the jackpot...with Angelina Jolie.      The...

Game Review: Cubis Creatures

    Hey, everyone. I finished Notch 7 last night, in the wee hours. Of course, I still have to type it, proof it, send it to Smashwords and Amazon etc. Still, I have found time to play a new game which I bought for 99 cents. It is the above -mentioned Cubis Creatures and it is a good game. You can actually get a free version of this game but I was flush with cash on this particular day so I sprang for the 99 cent version. Ha, ha.     When I get aggravated with the shooters, on which I get stuck, I like to play puzzle games and this is one of the better ones. That said, it has a Biology class feel to it because it looks as though you are performing surgery on a furry creature who has the misfortune to be infested with brightly colored cubes. But hey, my Granny kept her kidney stones on the mantel in a jelly jar, so I can deal with this.     Here's the recipe. There are 80 levels, with more puzzle packs available. There is a grid inside the ...
