Cuckoo for wrong guess

Aside from spamming me, there is no reason that app needs to send me email, which means that app gets the boot. Damn shame, too, because the game actually is pretty fun and relatively challenging. (And my world would not end if that music were actually used on a TV version of the show.)

Went to Borders here in NYC which is closing ALL their stores. Board games are now 50% off. Picked up the box version of Million Dollar Password for $10. Regis is on the cover and it has stacks of cards for all the rounds, a 30 second timer, a "wipe-off" score card and a marker.

And, if memory serves, a very loud timer!

This version has a sand timer, unless his Borders has different games than my Borders.

Whoops - was thinking of an earlier version.

More TPiR Decades News is out:

Looks like it will be on Xbox as well as Wii. Here's some screenshots of the Xbox version, with Avatar and Kinect support: http://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/the-price-is-right-decades/screenshots/

JC from Ludia made some last day from the job posts over at Golden-Road, here's some of the details:

• Full 3D Sets and Games
• Mii support on Wii (finally the stupid Ludiatars are dead)!
• 30 Games included, including Retired Games like Penny Ante, Hurdles, and Professor Price (!)
• Some games have multiplayer support, including Plinko. Players will play at the same time.
• Sets from 4 decades included (70's brown, 80s/90s, 2000s, and Current) - dedicated announcer for each Decade - Randy announces one decade.

I'm not expecting much.

I'll be mildly curious to see what the Kinect support is.

My Guess:

Lift your hand up and down to spin the wheel.
Move your hand to drop the Plinko chip.
Use your hand as a mouse to select on screen items.

JC says later in that thread that....

Super Ball will be in this version as well, so I'd guess that it would be motion compatible too.

He's leaving Ludia...he posted on his last day, so he's gone now.

30 games are going to be in this version....they've done more games with each release, I believe.

That would be awfully, awfully lame.

As such, you're probably spot on.

They had the opportunity to do neat things with the Wii controller a few years ago, and they only used it as a mouse, a motion for pushover, and Hole in One. Lame.

Looks like Ludia is also making a WWTBAM:2012 game for Xbox:

Looks to be Kinect supporting with voice commands, and the updated ruleset.

Screenshots and Box Shots at the link.

EDIT: A new Family Feud game as well:

This is actually a pretty brilliant idea, considering that all it needs to pick up on are four letters, "Final Answer," "Skip," and some form of "I walk."
