There's a half-decent Million Dollar Password game for the iPod touch/iPhone, currently at 99 cents in the App Store.

Reviews seemed to be mixed...gameplay isn't strict password (some word search and mixed letter puzzles) but I highly enjoyed it after playing for a half hour. Definitely better than most of the other 99-cent games I've purchased.

My local Toys R Us had the 1 vs. 100 Tabletop on for less than $5 if memory serves.

Zoo Games have included screenshots to their upcoming Deal or No Deal game for the Wii:

http://www.zoogamesinc.com/showgame.php?gameid=250

Here's what the Web site says about the game:

Quote

The hit TV show is coming to your favorite video game system! The premise is simple: You have 26 briefcases in front of you. Each one contains a different amount of money. Open each case one by one, and try to find the briefcase with the biggest amount of money. Deal Or No Deal?

- A fun and cinematic recreation of the television show. Features the voice of Howie Mandel and allows you to play game after game.
- Tired of playing random episodes? Want to bring a friend along? Interested in trying your hand as the Banker? Custom Games are for you. Up to four players can compete as contestants or against them as the Banker.
- Use any of your custom created Mii characters in the game! Profiles will be saved to your Mii, so play again and again to unlock each award.
- Try your hand at the Banker\'s Challenge, Variety Ladder, or Risky Business for a change of pace. Playas series of games to accomplish specific goals-like a being a stingy Banker or a greedy contestant.

By looking at the screenshots, it looks like up to 4 players can play at the same time and you get to use your Mii character when you play the game. I am kind of curious by the meaning of the "fun and cinematic recreating of the television show." Maybe they tried to make it as real as possible. I like the variety of game modes they are offering.

Thankfully it's not just the "26-case format game on a disk" item. Instead, there seems to be more variety. I will definitely be picking this up (probably after Christmas) and I want to do a review for it as well.

One of the better computer game adaptations as of late, Concentration, can now be had for $7.59. Light on the puzzles, but otherwise fantastic.

The article also mentions Steve & Barry's filing for bankruptcy protection too. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait a little longer to get our Price is Right undies.

Heh. Since I posted that, I found that the extra stack of 20 cards included in the Target-only edition does the job perfectly.

Here's something I'd heard was coming this year, but I haven't seen in stores yet:

I think the box art on this one is better than the game's first edition!

Guess what game was listed in the Onion A.V. Club Cheap Toy Roundup?

The beloved game show has been rocketed into the '80s with this electronic setup

and a "big wheel" that isn't connected to anything. (You're on the honor system with your spins, basically.)

Is this true?

Yes. You spin the wheel, then enter the value on the keypad.

Wow. That makes that feature completely stupid.
