Title: [Shooter] Black Shades
Post by: StaticRomantic on August 31, 2009, 05:31:26
Black Shades

Spoiler: Screens (click to show/hide)

Nothing terrificly special, but fun and quite addicting nonetheless. Very basic, fast-paced gameplay.

You are a bodyguard for the President. Use the weapons (or lack of) at your disposal, as well as a time-slowing Matrix-esque reflex ability, to protect the President from assassins. Advance through progressively harder levels and see how long you can survive. (Oh yes, and there's zombies.)

Like I said, it's pretty basic, but it's rewarding when you take out that armed assassin just in the nick of time or throw the president out of harm's way right as a bullet flies by his head.

Am I missing something, or are you supposed to not be able to aim?

I don't understand. You can aim. What's your problem?
I discovered this game a while back, and if you like this (or even if you don't) check out Lugaru because it's great! Not allowed to talk about that here though cos it's shareware.  <_<

Not with the sniper rifle. I figure there has to be a way to look through the scope or something , because its freaking impossible to aim with that gun otherwise.

Because 'aim' unambiguously means 'look through scope.'

if by "aim" you mean "zoom", i believe it's q. if not, try pressing keys around the movement keys. i know you can, just not sure what it is :/

Q just puts down the weapon. It doesn't matter though. I found it myself by pressing random keys until something happened. Its ctrl. :)

S'not a spoiler, and the manual says he's a "V.I.P." not the president, but the point is he's the guy you're meant to be protecting.
