Hangman with basic doodle art

Doodle Hangman Free is a simple hangman game. You can select the types of words you want to guess from a list of categories (or choose random selections) and then a coarse doodle of a character gets drawn as you guess incorrectly. There's both one and two player variations, and after each correct solution a new background and word appear.

Doodle Hangman Free installs quickly and plays just as quick. We found the graphics were just like doodles, which were cute the first few times but got old fast. There's some basic animation but the graphics are not … Read more

Hanged for iPhone warms the heart, snaps the neck

Do they give awards for "Most Inventive Re-Imagining of a Classic Paper Game"? If so, I nominate Hanged for iPhone (which should also be in the running for "Best Stop-Motion Love Story" and "Game Most Likely to Make You Pull Out Your iPhone and Tell Friends, 'You Gotta See This!'")

If that sounds like a lot of gushing for what is essentially Hangman: Extreme Makeover Edition, it's because Hanged is such a clever and pleasant surprise.

The game has no menus, no instructions--it is just Hangman, after all. I don't want to … Read more

A USB drive for your neck

We'd pretty much given up on posting any more items about USB storage keys--not because we have anything against them, mind you, but we just couldn't keep up with their kudzu-like proliferation. (Except for the poker chip versions, of course.)

But leave it to those insane-asylum escapees at Brando to come up with one more that we couldn't pass up. The "USB Neck Strap" has a built-in flash drive with 2GB of memory and can also hold a variety of other items that are prone to misplacement, such as keys and even a mobile … Read more
