Tried the boss again.

Went through earlier levels to become more powerful.

Tried the boss again.

Gnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng...

No luck, very annoying.

So I’m really not sure why I’ve not deleted the game yet, but some strange force beyond my understanding is keeping it on my iPhone.

Apparently, Twin Blades has had a huge update since I last played it, but I’m not entirely sure what’s different. Possibly the story wasn’t there before. Maybe the upgrade shop is different. I can’t really remember.

Killing zombies all day long, la la la la.

Regardless of the changes, the core gameplay seems to be the same as I remember. Run to the right, kill everything in your way in a glorious spray of blood and ashes. It’s fantastic fun in short bursts, but there’s a problem.

Arrrrghhhhhhh!

Yep, that’s a boss. A great, mean fucker of a boss. Oh, yes, I’m sure I could (a) go back and level up or (b) get some fucking skills, but I’m not sure I’ve got the will for it. The game’s still on my iPhone, but it’s hanging on by the skin of its teeth right now.

I hope it’s not damning this game with faint praise to say that it’s a great game to play while you watch TV. I’m not quite sure why, as you can’t take your eyes away from the iPhone screen without risking horrible, messy death, but although your eyes are fixed on the iPhone, your brain is free to listen to the dialogue on the TV and the brief pauses between levels are enough to flick your eyes over to the telly.

A saucepan won't save you, silly zombie!

Of course, it helps to have something on where you can recognise the characters by their voices. In my case, it was Smallville, which I’ve recently started watching on the Sci Fi channel. I’m up to season three now. I’ve no idea how many seasons Sci Fi have bought. I’m assuming not all of them. I might have to get the DVDs at some point.

Anyway, Twin Blades is good to have on when you’re watching Smallville: official.

Thought you’d killed enough zombies by now? Well, the developers of Twin Blades think differently. It’s a side-scrolling shoot ‘n’ slash, with gorgeous graphics, a nice upgrade system and online high scores. It starts very easy, but soon ramps up the difficulty and by Day Three I was really struggling.

Zombies. Again.

I don’t think it’s anything very special (except graphically), but it’s decent fun and it’s free today. I like it when games are free.
