I don’t see why we have all of these coming out on DVD when they could be also coming out for Wii/Xbox/PS3. To me, it makes much more sense to put them as a real video game. DVD’s work great for Scene It, but past that, they get kind of slow, in my opinion. They do appeal to those without video game systems, but I’d like a quality Lingo or Millionaire game for Wii. Heck, I love the Merv Griffin’s Crosswords game for Wii!

I really, really want the Millionaire mobile game based on the new season. The problem is, I don’t have an iPhone or an iPod touch. I have a regular cell phone and a regular iPod. This game should definitely be available for people who don’t own these two specific products- for me, at least, the game would be an instant buy.

If Capcom really wanted to be clever, they’d release it on WiiWare for the Nintendo Wii as a downloadable game. That would be really cool, and since both iPhones and the Wii use motion sensors, the port wouldn’t be that hard.

Secondly, I bought the Million Dollar Password game last week. It’s one of the best game show adaptations on the market. The electronic base with the countdown music from the show was a really, really nice touch. I highly recommend picking up this game.

I own the “Bingo America” DVD game and it’s pretty cool. It combines the play at home & studio game elements. Everyone gets a disposable bingo card. So, the ball rolls up on the screen. If you have the number on that ball, you mark it off the card. Then a question comes up and it’s read aloud. Whoever gets it right first gets the point value like the show. You keep going until someone gets a bingo on their personal card. That person goes to the Bingo Bonus Board round. It combines season one & season two bonus rounds.

You pick a number from the B line that has a point value hidden behind it. Then you pick one as needed from I, N, G, O. If you match two point values, you win that point value and the game is over. The losing players, before the round, pick which number from each line they think the winner will pick. If they’re right, they get the point value from behind the number they predicted. Whoever has the most points at the end wins!

It sounds a bit complicated, but really it’s not. It’s a whole lot of fun and I recommend it.

I’m getting myself the MDP game for Christmas, when it goes on sale on the 26th. :-) Looking forward to your getting the Bingo America game though, Alex – I’d love to know what you think of it! I reviewed it last week, and was probably a little too generous with my score. (2.5 out of 5 stars)

My friends and I had a game night last night, and one of my friends brought “Million Dollar Password.” It was really fun and exciting. The words were extremely challenging (You try giving a clue for “forthright.”). But it was still fun! The timers (:30 and :90) use sound effects and music from the show. I have played the original “Password” game, “Password Plus”, and the “Password” DVD game. “MDP” offers a new and exciting way to play. I highly recommend it!
