Poker Face

Post by ZAX »

Couldn't find a thread on this one, so thought I would post here as a warning to all casual punters faced with that dicey fifty fifty and considering the alternative that there is no mystery about the special mystery win that you are considering taking.

It's 2p.

there was a tough question on the game as well- 'just how many completely wank programmes have ant or dec featured in over the years'

This game really is a howler, isn't it? As a symbol of the recent 'over a cliff' drop-off in quality of the Ind:e box it's absolutely perfect.

Played this over the weekend, on one of the new-ish Ind:e set ups. A bit of a shocker, I agree: it throws a prize of e.g. 15p per game at you pretty easily, but on my couple of players spoilers came in as soon as I was within a level of the lowest proper prize. A very dull title indeed. I managed to lose about £6 in half an hour on the Ind:e I was playing: went through 50p or £1 on each of the main quiz titles, none of which were in anything like paying mode (also, I was out of practice, having been on holiday and then ash-bound for the last few weeks). Suspect I'll be giving Ind:es an extremely wide berth for a while - these are not machines for (quiz) players of any seriousness now. Hope they get their act sorted out.

Makes me laugh, they must of spent a fortune on the licence seeing as it is a new show and all.

The 'In It To Win It' game that appeared on the Gamesnets a year or two ago was similarly laughable, or possibly even worse. That also must have cost a fair bob or two in licensing.

i wouldn't be surprised if there is a correlation between all these silly ant & dec games and a broader licence which has been signed for AWP crossovers.
if an AWP specialist is making SWP games, there is little wonder that they don't appeal to us.

i haven't played poker face and, after a panning by the fruitchat jury (not that sort of panning), i will be saving my fifty pee for something less shoddy.
nobody ever wins on those things.
