Woah woah woah, they didn\'t do The Chase - different production house completely and also very very good. The other ones (including GFG) are pretty terrible, really.

Jellyvision has come out with another game for iOS- it\'s called Lie Swatter. It\'s a turn based trivia game where you try and \"swat\" all of the lies in a given category of statements. At its core, you\'re playing turn based Wipeout, but the writing makes it much better.

Two new updates:


 


Wheel of Fortune Cubed is available on iOS for a buck. It looks like a combination of Wheel and crossword puzzles.


 


Price is Right Slots on Facebook just got a visual overhaul and a \"vintage slots\" section. First slot available is Super Ball, and the bonus isn\'t worth playing- you\'re just clicking a lane to roll the ball from, and the game does the rest of the work.

Someone, anyone, please tell me, what is the allure of the slot machine app game?

You can win lots of useless virtual coins that you would have to otherwise have to buy.


Yeah, I got nothin\' either.

Jetpack Joyride and Extreme Road Trip (while not game show games) keep pushing the coin packs, but I find the game completely playable and enjoyable without.

Million Second Quiz now has a game for your iDevice. You play against some other person in the country in a 10 question showdown. Keep racking up poins, because if you get to 3500, the game asks for your phone number so it can be passed along to casting directors. It\'s a really sleek app, and I like the music loop on the main page.

I do have issue with the fact that MSQ plagiarized a question straight from The Chase.

That\'s interesting, because a question during Christian\'s episode was about what Mexicans call Rio Grande, and I remember that as the question that ended Steve McClellan\'s dreams of becoming a Millionaire and sent him home with $16,000.

The question: can you really plagiarize a trivia question?
/and could you write one more in my wheelhouse, please.

Fred L. Worth seems to think so...

You can\'t plagiarize a fact, but I suspect you can plagiarize the phrasing of it.


 


(Or, it could just be the same person using the same question for two shows he was working for at about the same time.)

My issue is that the phrasing was exactly the same. Facts pop up all the time. The \"flavor text\" of both questions was phrased exactly the same, which I think is inappropriate.

The MSQ game online should absolutely NOT be used as an audition method for two very simple reasons:


 


Instead of randomizing questions, this randomizes bouts. I played the same bout twice within an hour.


 


EDIT: Wait a moment... that\'s actually a good idea for the show. Have sleep-deprived people answer the same questions they answered an hour ago, and see if their responses change.

My instinct is that it\'s just a really interesting coincidence.  A question has to be written (or, theoretically, stolen) then edited and approved by a head writer.  They then have to decide where to put it (for MSQ, there\'s the live prime time show, the untelevised 23 hours a day the game will be played, and the online component) then it\'s got to get in the hands of the people doing the online game so that it can get loaded into whatever software program they\'re using.  Each step takes time.  I can tell you they\'ve been working on material for MSQ for months, so I struggle with the idea that a writer saw something on television, plagiarized it, and got it through that gauntlet in a little more than a week.
