September 26, 2018 by Kat Ainsworth Stevens

Evan in Ohio carries a Kimber Micro 9mm TLE, a Vaporesso, and a Yaesu Hand-Held Transceiver.

Game Review: Contract Killer Zombies

October 12, 2011 by ttag

Worried about infestations of Zombie hordes? ‘Round my digs, it’s easy to mistake roving bands of 13-year-old girls for zombies – they eat everything in sight (well…so far my brain is intact), moan loudly (although I suspect that’s their music, probably some banshee they refer to as “Lady GooGoo” or something) and go through clothing like the undead. (Take my clothing bill. Please.) But now, from the fine folks that brought you Contract Killer, the game I’ve found to be the best sniper simulation on the iOS platform, comes Contract Killer Zombies. Zombiephobic Shooters of the World Unite!

Game Review: Contract Killer for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch

As gun owners/writers go, I’m pretty non-violent. I’ve never shot another human being. I’ve never bagged a deer. Never shot anything larger than a dove, in fact. Even though I conceal carry, I don’t really believe, in my heart of hearts, I’ll ever have to shoot someone in self-defense. So I’m trying to figure out why I’ve become all but addicted to a game from Glu called Contract Killer . . .

Game Review: High Noon STARS & STRIPES for iPhone

July 21, 2010 by ttag

Listen up, buckaroo…if yer the kinda desperado that has a hankerin’ to drill some other sidewinder fulla lead, you gotta call ’em out for a shoot-out. But this is 2010. Unless you’re a Crip or a Blood, callin’ somebody out in the middle of town for a little gunplay’s gonna get the attention of the local constabulary, if ya know what I mean. What’s a Yosimite Sam wanna-be to do?

Game Review – Deer Hunter 3D

April 7, 2010 by ttag

Full disclosure: I am not a hunter. I have never killed a deer. Not that I wouldn’t. Just never had the opportunity to do it. I have been on a couple of dove hunts, which was fun – kinda like fishing, but with noise and violence. But as far as deer hunting goes, my direct experience has been limited to one, unfortunate morning where, at the crap of dawn, I arose, got into the warmest clothes I owned, and went out into the freezing drizzle to sit on a stump until the air had just warmed up to the point where my fingers weren’t numb. The deer were smart enough to stay home, or wherever deer go when the weather’s miserable.

I bring this up, because I can now shoot Bambi as often as I like, with absolute impunity, from the comfort of my home or office with the iPhone version of the iconic Deer Hunter game. Think of it as virtual hunting.

Game Review – Shadowland: The Sniper

April 5, 2010 by ttag

If you’re an iPhone user (or a new iPad owner) and into firearms, it might have occurred to you that the Apple dynamic duo might make a useful platform for something other than phone calls, namely some rockin’ simulations and games in the gun genre. And you’d be right. Above, you’ll see a screen shot from one such little treasure, Shadowland: The Sniper. Priced at an excruciatingly reasonable $0.00 (a.k.a. “Free!”), Shadowland is a no-nonsense simulation of what it’s like behind the scope of a sniper’s rifle. You begin simply enough, with the task of shooting an empty wine bottle and a can, followed by another wine bottle. Then the real fun begins – targets that can shoot back. After those first three practice rounds, it’s kill or be killed time, with no time for remorse or agonizin’ reappraisals.
