What do you think of the three new or updated games on pogo.com?The first was Hog Heaven Slots, and I adore it! I think it's so much more fun than the other slot games on the site because of the added "puzzle" of pigs above the reels.
Next they came up with Hangman Hijinks. I'm not really thrilled with this one. Seems like every other hangman game out there. Strange, because I usually adore word games, but this one is just not for me I suppose.
Then they released a new version of PayDay Freecell. They've added ranks (and accompanying badges) but I don't know that the graphics are any better than before. I would think they could come up with a more interesting rank representation too -- the little wooden shields lack color and imagination.
They've also announced the upcoming Makeover Madness. Hard to tell much from the preview on that one. I think I'll have to wait till I can actually try it before I get a feel for what type of game it may be.
So what do you think of all these new and revamped games? Have you tried them all? Which is your favorite?

I have tried Hog Heaven Slots and I find that game fun. Not as fun as my mother finds it. She has been playing it every single chance that she gets. And she finally got to rank 50 last night. Some of the things that they make the pig dress up in are really mean. I could name some, but I do not want to spoil anything for the people who haven't played it yet.
I also tried Hangman Hijinks. I found it sort of fun, but not really that entertaining as the Hog Heaven Slots.
I have not tried the new version of PayDay Freecell. I used to play it but then I would get aggravated when I ran out of moves so quickly.
One that isn't listed here that is my favorite is Mahjong Garden. I am addicted to this game. I play it when I have the time. The bad thing about that game though is that it makes me tired really quick...so I have also been using it as a solution to getting to bed...

Wow -- rank 50??? I'm quite impressed! I think I'm somewhere around 12 or 13. So far I don't think I've seen anything "mean" done to the piggy, but I'll keep an eye out!
As for Mahjong Garden, I play it now and then, but wouldn't really consider it one of my favorite games. It just takes too long to get through for me I guess.

I kinda like the piggies, they get addicting though.. just trying to make the little buggers fly!
Hangman was kinda fun and funny for about 2 hours.. and I haven't been back since. Lost interest when it started repeating itself.
And freecell.... they could have at least attempted to make it look better. It looks like 1 of the pogo guys said "hey, let's make freecell with ranks" and they released it the next day. Not thought or creativity in it at all. Boring, same as it always has been.

I love hog heaven slots, played it for days on end, then it went away, and I went thru withdrawals LOL. Hangman, not real impressed, the "hints" dont' really help at all. PayDay, well, is still payday, heck I can play all day long for free on my own computer, so you are right they should have come up with better graphics and definately better rank indicators to make me want to come play there instead of on my came with my computer game.
On another note, how bout the premium badges? Do you buy them? I am such a badge junkie, I have all the books and am working on the silly mix n match badges! Some of them are tough! Especially the timed badges, like you have 30 mins to do such and such.

I love Hog Heaven Slots. We are majorly addicted to this game. Have been since it came out lol
Hangman Hijinks is okay, but your right on it not being the word game for me either. I love word games, but this one just doesn't hold my interest that much. I play it, but rarely.
I personally really like the updated verison of PayDay Freecell. I love it having badges and ranks more so then anything else though. lol
And I am happily waiting on the Makeover Madness, I think I am going to really like this one. But will have to wait and see if it holds my feelings once its open.

I haven't been there too much since joining mylot.lol But I love Hog Heaven Slots, I made it to about level 12 or so before they closed it down the first time. Now I'm only at 16.
I don't really care for Hangman Hijinks much myself. It's kind of boring to me..hangman is hangman no matter how you try to jazz it up :)
I didn't play PayDay Freecell yet so I'll have to go check it out. I'm wondering too about Makeover Madness..can't really tell. I'de like to try it and see how I like it before I even attempt to decide...lol
I like poker and canasta alot. I like some of the slots some are just boring. It really kind of depends on my mood. I like backgammon too and dominoes sometimes.

I love the Hog Heaven Slots..I have 2 pogo screen names and I'm up to rank 50 on both of them and I still find myself going back and playing everyday..I have to giggle at the sounds of the pigs. Hangman Hijinks I have played a few times, and really can't say much about it. I have played the new PayDay Freecell, haven't gotten to rank 10 yet, but I do like it a lot better then the old one. Makeover Madness should be interesting, not sure on what to say on that one yet..I do hope they keep revamoing some of the games as I em addicted to most of the games. The other game I really like is Lost Temple Poker, I'm also on rank 50 on both my names. I guess I could work on my husbands LOL...

I love Hog heaven Slots, I am addicted to it along with some other games on Pogo. I don't really care for the Hangman Hijinks either I dont think the pay out in tokens is all that great for the time and effort that you put into it, I think they should pay more tokens for it as it does take a lot of time and effort. They could have been a little more creative with it I think its pretty lame. I do like the Freecell game and liked it even before they revamped it but now that it has a ranking system I am more apt to play it. Your right though the sheilds that they use for the ranking system are pretty lame and I too think they could have come up with something more exciting. I think I'm going to like the make-over madness game. I just wish they would hurry up with it already!!!
