Amazon's Free App of the Day - Meteor

written by: Nick Kosmides

Ringing in this potentially exciting weekend is a doozy of a free app care of the great beyond that is Amazon.  Costing nothing more than you time and patience, Meteor can be had at no money down for an enthralling good time.  Though, leave the party hats and beer pong tournament quality table in the garage for another time.

Instead, fire up your favorite tunes, say Citabria, before booting up Meteor.  This game has no music in it what so ever.  If you play it a la carte, you will find yourself thinking up all the things you could be doing with your life instead of playing Meteor.  Not because its a bad game.  On the contrary.  Its fairly decent with regards to graphics and performance.  Only a few stutters during gameplay.  Its the lack of interesting animations or effects in the presentation and, well.  How do I reiterate this without sounds redundant?  I can't, THERE IS NO MUSIC!?@!  Seriously!?


I can only assume it was to keep the file size down or this individual could not figure out how to create a soundtrack to a mediocre clone of Breakout.  Given the mediocrity of this game and lack of any reason to play it, there is no value in its original price.  Grab it now while its free.  You'll feel less regret that way.
