I'll talk to you about the Feud tabletop game once I figure out all the rules and little nooks and crannies. They left the instruction book out of my press copy so I'm learning. It's a tiny bit different than the show.

iToys has a handheld edition of the game too which is a lot different but a quick little fun game. A question scrolls across the display, followed by three answers. You choose which answer, A B or C, you think is the number one answer. You get the point value no matter what, but if you don't pick the number one answer you get a strike. Three strikes and it's game over. Just try to accumulate the highest score you can. It apparently goes to double and triple points eventually but I didn't get that far. It's pretty fun for a quick 5 minute play when the magazines are crappy at the doctor's office.

The 1 vs. 100 Jakks Plug-and-Play game is finally in stores. I found a sole copy at Target tonight. Target has all Jakks P&P games on sale through tomorrow night for $10.

The 2nd edition Jakks Wheel of Fortune game is available at Linens N Things. Based on the packaging, nothing looks updated besides new puzzles.

All of 'em? Does that include the arcade compilations? This might be my chance to get the Namco one with Ms. Pac-Man on it...I've been wanting that one for a while.

Yessir. The Ms. Pac Man P&P is worth every penny.

For those looking for the "Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader" board game (slim chance, I know...), check your local Wal-Mart's holiday section. The one in my town has upwards of 40-50 copies for $10 (price previously mentioned)

Made a Target run today, and picked up the lone copy of the 1 vs. 100 handheld (along with the $1 classic game shows DVD.) Overall, worth the 10 bucks. Sega Genesis-quality graphics, a few sound drops from Saget, decent music, and all the rules (Including the Sneak Peek) intact. The game lets you store four "profiles" that keep track of your statistics (and, I imagine, which questions you've used.) It also gives you the option of playing as a mob member, complete with timed questions, which I think makes for a nice twist on the gameplay.

One possible issue, though: I've played the game twice, and both times at the $10,000 question, I got it right, and the whole mob blew it FTW. I can't help but wonder if this is a cop-out the game implements to be frugal on the questions.

Oh, and Target also has the "5th Grader" board game on clearance, for $10.04.

/the Ms. Pac-Man one does rock it hardcore
//get the wireless one with 7 games at Value City for $19.99

Though it won't be available for a while, Hasbro announced that it plans to crank out Merv Griffin's Crosswords on both a DVD game and a board game by next fall.

Still no sign of a Temptation game anywhere in the works...Darn!

They're still working out the kinks on how to fit all that love into the box.

Maybe the board game will come with a good lock-out device. I'd say it would have to, but then game play hasn't been a real priority for the show.

Spotted at TRU up here in Canadia a 1 vs 100 handheld game. I'm not sure if this is the same thing others have been talking about, or if some of you are calling a PnP/Jaks Pacific unit a hand held. It was similar to the DoND Palm Pilot-shaped handheld. For $15, I gave it a pass.

Zellers (Canadian KMart) has/d AYSTa5G for $15 on sale.

WalMart had rolled back the 1v100 table top game to $20 (from $30) but I wasn't impressed with the unit I bought in the summer. I had to take it back, it was so buggy. They also had the 1v100 DVD game for $10 and I nearly cried. I paid a lot more than $10).

Also saw the FF tabletop at TRU. It looked neat but the price was not right ($30 or $35 I think).

One final thing, has anyone seen a PS2 "game show." It's called "BUZZ: The Mega Quiz Show." It's $40 at WallyWorld and comes with 4 ring-in buzzers.
