If It's Boring, it's Because You Are.
With the 2nd wave of DSiWare comes Mixed Messages from Activision. The game is essentially a refined version of the traditional Telephone game you might have played when you were younger. The first player is either given a phrase, or makes one up (depending on the number of players) and then must hand the DS over to a second player. That player then draws the subject from that description. Once that's done, you pass it on to the next player (assuming there's still more players), who must then write a subject line for that drawing. The idea is to see how crazy things get by the end of the line, and the more people you have (and the more creative they are), the better it gets.
The game has an interesting presentation, catchy music, and it works great. The only problem is it feels like something that could probably be done just as easily on Pictochat, and as such shouldn't have crawled above the $2 range.
This is the kind of thing that you could bring to a party of people who don't even know what a DS is and you could still easily get a lot of enjoyment out of it. Everything is clearly explained in the game, and it's completely easy to use. It's a bit pricey, but I can think of worst ways to drop $5 bucks. It makes a nice little ice breaker to keep stored on your DSi. Mixed Messages can be fun, but if you're an introvert cave-troll, you're best staying away from this game (and sunlight).
