More new GS games coming soon

(At which point people would probably complain it doesn't sound like the arrangement used on TPIR.)

I get the feeling that Ludia really isn't that concerned about this level of detail.

I meant the same people here who are complaining about everything else.

I'm surprised they're not complaining that the host doesn't sexually harass the models.  ;-)

Personally, the biggest heartbreaker for me is the lack of music in Hurdles, since Hurdles was the only reason I even bothered to buy this game. I could have stuck with the 2010 Edition and been less disappointed.

Also, if I get Professor Price one more time, I'll do this.

[font="arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif"][size="2"]Throwing another hat in the ring regarding "Decades." I agree on the small mistakes. If they bother to get little things right elsewhere, it doesn't make sense when they're incorrect in other places. For example, the opening spiels are correct to the year ("From the Bob Barker Studio..." isn't said until the year it was said on the show) and they bothered to have the 70s opening titles only read "HOUR POWER." So if that level of detail is possible, which has no real effect for the casual buyer, then how hard is it to program out leading zeroes in your bids? The thing with the fonts is really annoying in that regard. All the pieces are there, and they managed to get specific on some of the details elsewhere.[/size][/font]

It's not. In the least. The art people get it right because they are being sent screencaps and being told exactly what to create. The coding people have never seen the show because the US version of the show does not air in Latvia. The left hand has no idea of what the right hand is doing.

Hum your own damn music.  ;-)

I believe that's called a Stranger in some circles.

/or so I've heard

Never let your right hand know, man.

(Tangentially related to game shows...)

In the used PS2 Games bin at the local GameStop, I found "Carol Vorderman's Sudoku" for the low $ale Of The Century price of 99 cents. Needless to say I hit the buzzer on that deal and am the proud owner of a sudoku game that features a few Carol Vorderman videos and images of Carol in various cleavage-revealing dresses.

There's no mention of who Carol Vorderman is or why she is featured in a sudoku game. As my girlfriend said "Who's that British bird?"

It's worth 99 cents. That's all I can say about it.

Mattel released a DVD version of Carol Vorderman's Sudoku some years ago, probably around the time the PS2 game was released.  (2007, IIRC.)  I found a sealed copy at a Half Price Books knockoff for $3 a few years ago.

In the UK iTunes store, they have "Catch Phrase" for iPad.  It's 69p (down from 1.99) with 2 extra question packs available at 69p each.

EDIT:  OK, I've downloaded and played it.  Let's just say, the bar has been raised for an iPad game.  http://islandwall.wordpress.com/mobile-apps/catchphrase/ has some screenshots and it plays beautiful.  Real sound effects from the british version with minor amounts of host chatter.  If you have access to the UK iTunes store, you will not regret it.

Do you live in the UK? If not, how do you get access to the UK App Store? I've been dying to play legit Countdown on my iPad since I first got it.

I was able to get The Cube for my iPod with no problems. I wasn't aware that there's a UK App Store as opposed to a US App Store.

For some reason, The Cube is being sold in the US App Store, and I have no idea why. But yeah, every country has its own localized version. I know normally you have to live in the country whose store you're trying to access, but I thought maybe narzo had a way around that.

If you ever want to check out the international stores, click on the little round flag in the very bottom-right corner of the App Store home page.

Because Apple knows what's good for 'em, I say.
