If you want to know anything more about the game, you're out six bucks. If you want to download a lot of games to find the gem, you're going to be dirt poor and playing a lot of crappy games.

Now take a look at some of Jamdat's top sellers: Bejeweled, Tetris, Bowling, Solitaire, Doom RPG. All of them existing properties. All of them known games.

Amen, it's a money sink. DO NOT buy the unlimted version (usually 3x monthly cost). You won't be playing it more than 3 months. On my current phone I tried "unknown" games.

EA Madden 2006: Gamepad to numberpad? Yeah, right. I could play Intellivision football with more precision.

Ys 1: Best game I've played so far, but that's not saying much. At least I could move my character reliably. But good luck getting more than 10 hours of gameplay.

Jamdat MLB 2005: It looks like baseball. You can control the location of your pitch. The rest is feels like you're just pretending to play.

Stick to Tetris and Bejeweled. Are those worth $700M?

I agree with you about O'Reilly and the WMD lies, but the voter turn out was the true record; a 3% popular vote margin isn't a record.

Maybe the red states should think again.
