Ready for a double dose of hardcore game show action? No we're not talking about Wipeout and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?, we're talking about the classics because Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are now available in the Windows Phone Store.
Jeopardy! is the iconic clash-of-the-geniuses quiz show recreated for Windows Phone game. You can replicate a lot of the game's feel including scrawling in your name on the blue board (with your finger), listening to announcer Johnny Gilbert's voice as he reads clues, and tackling each progressively harder question for glorious cash. The game also features a pass around multiplayer mode and difficulty settings.
Meanwhile, Wheel of Fortune is the original word-guesser which has been aired on television since 1975. Fortunately, the Windows Phone game is more modern than that with over 1800 puzzles to solve in full 3D graphics. The sights and sounds try to remain as faithful to the game show as possible, while also incorporating multiple difficulty levels and a 'pass-and-play' multiplayer mode.
These games are notable for eschewing the Xbox Live program (and the perks that come with it), but we suppose publisher Sony Pictures didn't want to step on the toes of the big guys who run the PlayStation brand. Jeopardy! will cost you a reasonable $1.99, while Wheel of Fortune might make you bankrupt with its $4.99 asking price; both games do not offer free trials.
