Warm Gun Review

A futuristic wild west shooter providing an experience that is flawed, but beautiful. The lack of variety and graphical hiccups mar this potentially impressive FPS.

Warm Gun takes a few elements of the competitive console FPS and throws out all the rest, an issue which might not have been so negative if the one mode the game offered was a bit more polished. There is only one mode: deathmatch (online and offline). There are four character classes to choose from, each with three distinct weapons of their own: pistols, machine guns, grenades, and instant-kill melee weapons, to name a few. Shooting from a distance is very tricky, especially opponents are on the move, but the levels are do size up rather nicely to make sure everyone stays within a reasonable range of each other. Once close enough, your character locks on to the nearest enemy, ensuring that getting a jump on others will give you an advantage. Were there more to do with this fairly wide variety of characters and weapons, Warm Gun might have risen above its numerous problems. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case.
Like any twin-stick iOS shooter, the controls are not perfect. I certainly got comfortable with them after about an hour with the game, but running around corners or swinging around 180 degrees to confront foes just isn’t as easy as it could be.
If you are in the market for a new portable FPS, Warm Gun isn’t your best choice. Each character class has its own strengths and weaknesses, each level has a host of hidden contraptions with which to cause chaos, and every weapon packs a powerful punch, but the control issues – coupled with the graphical stuttering and lack of gameplay variety – just don’t equate to much replay value.

When owning numerous items within a collection, it’s all too easy to lose track of what’s there and what isn’t. BookBuddy is set up to offer most commonly used categories such as books currently being read, books that have been read and books lent out to friends and family. Other categories can then be added so that users can arrange their collections however they want, such as according to genre or type of mood that works well with the book. The pre-defined categories should cover most interests, however.

Puzzles are personally gratifying on many levels. They honestly just make me happy. It is like scratching my brain. Or if there was some kind of brainwash like mouthwash, puzzles would be the glorious minty/burny kind. Sort of painful but worth the refreshing feeling in the end. Punch A Hole is my off-brand minty brainwash start to the day.
There is not much to the graphics, but if there were I am afraid it might take away from the game and the clean and well constructed indie feel. I love uncluttered sound effects, and the sound of the cue balls clicking and swishing is as gratifying as hearing rapid keyboard clicks. Not a traditionally beautiful sound, but to a technophile the sound of someone typing with intent is like eavesdropping on an important and exciting conversation. These simple sound effects and lack of “puzzle music” add a gentle excitement that gets my neurons firing.
