    Hanging With Friends Review

    By

    Allow me to weave you a yarn about a man named Jim. This man is a wonderful person, full of wit, charm and humor. Jim also fails spectacularly at playing Hanging with Friends, a social, online version of the classic childhood game of Hangman with a few extra bells and whistles.

    Spelling words correctly should never be a life or death situation - unless, of course, you're playing hangman. But what fun is hangman if you can't play it with a friend? The fine folks at Zynga clearly feel the same way we do on the subject, which is why they're gearing up to roll out Hanging With Friends, a multiplayer hangman game from the makers of Words With Friends.

    TriviaTown is all too typical of sub-par trivia games on Facebook. From a bare-bones interface, users select one of 10 trivia categories and then have three minutes to answer as many questions as possible. Users who amass at least 100 points during the initial three minutes go on to a bonus round, where answering five questions correctly in 30 seconds is worth 500 points. During the initial three minutes, players can get extra time by answering lots of questions correctly in an unbroken streak. Players can also use power-ups to make questions easier to answer, to skip tough questions, or to amass points more quickly.

    Deal or No Deal on Facebook Review

    By

    Let's be honest here: at its core, Endemol's hit show Deal or No Deal is simply a game about picking some random briefcases and hoping you win something. That might be suspenseful when there's a chunk of real money at stake, but it's a rough concept on which to build an enduring social game. While you can't go wrong here if picking random briefcases is your thing, the deal this title offers every other player is shady at best.

    Jeopardy Review

    By

    Countless developers have adapted Jeopardy into a video game across countless formats since the inception of the medium. Few of these adaptations have captured the true appeal of the TV show, instead suffering from hateful AI issues and an all-too-limited pool of trivia answers that players must use to ask the correct question. It may seem improbable, but GSN's Jeopardy for Facebook is probably one of the best Jeopardy-based video games ever made. The game doesn't repeat questions, accurately emulates the show's format, and can offer some serious challenge to a trivia fan.

    Who Wants To Be A Millionaire on Facebook Review

    By

    Ludia is a developer with quite a track record of turning popular game and reality shows into enjoyable Facebook social games, having developed the excellent Facebook version of The Price is Right. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is the company's latest effort and it's everything you could reasonably expect a social adaptation of the game to be. Ludia hasn't dropped the ball, instead perfectly adapting the look and feel of the current syndicated version of the show into the Facebook version. Most of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire's problems come from basic limitations of the format rather than how it was adapted.

    YOU DON’T KNOW JACK (mobile) Review

    By

    Join me, if you will, as we travel back to 1995. The internet was barely a word, Regis was still with Kathie Lee, and CD-ROM gaming was all the rage. At the height of this CD-ROM craze was a game that didn't bank on big production values, but rather big laughs. You Don't Know Jack quickly became a phenomenon - the biggest thing to happen to quiz games since Trivial Pursuit and Jeopardy - and now it's back on your favourite iOS device.
