We have quite a bit of home game news, so let’s throw it all in one post.  Pat Sajak’s newest game, Blackjack Bowling, is going to be released on mobile phone systems relatively soon.  Even more, the game has been on the air in Russia, so if you live there, please tell us how it is.

Also, there is an updated version of the original “Wheel of Fortune” plug-n-play game.  According to a source, at a Target, the new game is packaged in a plastic casing without the cardboard boxing that the original had.  The game is not without the upper left cartridge slot and is marked with a “1″ on the plastic emblem where the “gamekey” use to be.  “More than likely, this assumes that future version of the product will be released as Edition 2, 3, 4, etc. etc.

Also, GSN has launched a new download-ready version of Lingo.  I’ve gotten some reports back, and the general opinion is that it’s interesting, but could be better.  The game lets you play with 4, 5, 6, or 7 lettered words, which is a bit more of a challenge than the television show.  Go to GSN’s website for more information.
