There's a Tic Tac Dough app, based on Wink's version, complete with (from what i could gather on the demo version) recreations of the theme and sounds from the show. Only one question per cat, and no bonus (but again I only played the demo, full game i hope would be different). Also, if you're a fan of Countdown, there's a copycat game called Alpha Numeric (but look at the screenshots it has on the App Store and you'll know it's Countdown). Looked pretty interesting.

Both Millionaire and 5th Grader have amazing upgrades from the last version, both graphically and especially taking advantage of the landscape mode. The one feature that stands out in these versions are downloadable question packs for an additional $1.99. With Millionaire, you get the "Starter Pack" when you download the app for the first time. It comes with a total 250 Fastest Finger questions and 500 total questions between $100 and $1,000,000 (You can actually view how many questions in each dollar value you have exhausted.) Recently, the three new packs are called "Lifeline Pack," "Hotseat Pack" and "Final Answer Pack." Basically, you just tripled the amount of questions for your games (roughly 750 Fastest Finger and 1,500 main game questions). And I expect more packs to come! Cash Cab ad 5th Grader do the same to keep your games fresh for days and months to come! My top three game show apps are "Millionaire 2010," "5th Grader 2010" and "Cash Cab."

The Cash Cab app isn't an exact copy of the show, but it's worth downloading. Capcom has also released a 2010 version of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. It was a bit disappointng. Still has the primetime version rules, as well as no Foxworthy or actual show cues, and no subject preview on the $1M question (kind of a big omission IMO). Capcom did a MUCH better job with Millionaire 2010 and Cash Cab than they did with this one. Might be worth downloading if you are a fan of the show and don't own it in some other platform, but otherwise, I'd skip 5th Grader. A few other notes on the iPod game show apps... The Price is Right app is on sale right now for just 99 cents! Ludia is also advertising that they've got a couple new GS apps coming soon -- a new 2010 version of TPiR, as well as Press Your Luck. I imagine more will be said about those soon. And speaking of sales... For the first few days, Millionaire 2010, 5th Grader 2010, and Cash Cab were all $2.99 (which was when I got them). I mention this because, if you're a holdout for sales (like I am), they apparently do go on sale from time to time.

You also get one shout-out (Street), the Red Light Challenge, if it happens at all, takes place at a random point in the ride (I don't know if you have to have $200+ or not), and when you reach your destination, before you get the option of going for the video bonus, you're give a little snippet of info about your destination (they're all New York Landmarks). Also, the cash distribution is not the same (still 50-100-200 per question, but not 4-4-as many as possible like on the show).
