We are not alone. At least physically. I can't really speak to how you're doing on an emotional level, but hang in there. While there is no undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial life, it's hard to imagine that there's not some form of life out there. I'm not here to start conspiracy theories or distribute tin foil hats, but I do think Chillingo's latest tower defense release, Commando Jack, is a cautionary tale. If there are aliens out there, odds are pretty 50/50 on how they'll approach our civilization. It's about the same chance you take on a new mobile game. So does Commando Jack come in peace to your portable device, or is it a plan for a hostile takeover of your free time?
For the most part, first person is tough to pull off on mobile platforms. There are some exceptions, but generally speaking first person shooters that fit in your pocket aren't good. However, given a little twist, first person gameplay can be a welcome addition to an otherwise tried and true genre. Enter Commando Jack.
