As I mentioned in Darryl's thread, I've been playing Cut the Rope, progressing through all of the levels in one box to move onto the next. I'm still playing Draw Something daily, though, and I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys Pictionary. My latest drawings reflect my disdain for the Nintendo/HAL character Kirby.

Oh no! Ha ha ;D Not Kirby, but I've got a Barney the dinosaur plush toy that I stuck a knife through and had him hanging on my door for a while I had to take him down though once my sister moved in with her kid. I'm sure that would've traumatized him pretty good.

The screen shots of that Die Hard game look just like every other type of game in that genre I've ever seen. Not that I'm an expert. Another reason for me to stay retro...

Yep, they are going for established formulas that work. So you get variations of the same thing. They've done it with retro "updates" like Pitfall and Zaxxon also.

^I hope you're not flipping out here Seems like an odd choice of a game to make into a runner/shooter.

This is my latest app gaming diversion: Pop Icon Quiz for Android and iPhone. The point of the game is to study abstract and semi-abstract pictures and figure out what they portray. There are three main categories: Characters, Famous People, and TV & Films. In the first category, you can expect to see characters like Batman, Robocop, the Teletubbies, and many other fictional stars from TV, movies, video games, and comics. In the second category, you'll identify well-known people--anyone from Archimedes to Paris Hilton. In TV & Films, you'll identify the names of popular movies and shows; you're guaranteed to find some classic favorites, and your modern cinema knowledge will be tested, too. If you're stuck on a character or film title, you can buy hints using tokens, which you earn by playing the game and guessing correctly. And after you identify a certain number of pictures in a set category, higher levels of difficulty are unlocked. "Difficulty" in a pop culture game, however, is unique to each individual player as not everyone will recognize the same icons. But I have noticed that the pictures become more abstract with higher levels. Below are some screenshots of the game.
