Word Riot “won’t be that much longer”
Ah, Pogo… fans of the “coming soon” and “it wont’ be that much longer.”
In this week’s Letters to the Editor there was a mere two-sentence mention of Word Riot’s upcoming release.
“As for Word Riot, patience is a virtue. But even so, it won’t be that much longer.”
Thanks Pogo for giving us yet another subjective time period to ponder.
KenoPop! to get more ranks
If you’re like us and have almost completed KenoPop! a mere 48 hours after its release, you’ll be pleased to read this week’s Letters to the Editor in which a member describes the disappointment in finding a new game to be fun, but entirely too short and quick. The response? KenoPop!’s producer stated that they’ll be adding new ranks “as soon as possible”. Of course, ASAP is an entirely subjective amount of time, but we’re all eagerly awaiting more poppin’ action.
Robo-blender 5000
We think Pogo is teasing us… In our minis’ closets, under Goodies, today we found a Robo-blender 5000 — several pages back. When we looked at its information window, it read “Make smoothies in a fraction of the time with the latest in robotic convenience. Won in Word Riot Deluxe!” We don’t know what Pogo’s trying to tell us, but you might as well go check it out for yourself. At least it’s kind of cute!

Pogo Addiction Solitaire Page
Pogo has put up the “tour” page for Pogo Addiction Solitaire. It includes a screenshot and an idea of what the graphics for the game will look like, along with the following information:
Pogo Addiction Solitaire is a quick fix for your game urges! Sort the cards by suit and by value, and uncover hidden powerups and fantastic Pogo bonuses.
- Earn powerups that keep your game movin’!
- Play the bonus game for huge token payouts and special edition Pogo Mini items!
- Complete your collection of unique Pogo buddies
Pogo Addiction Solitaire is the card game you’ll want to play again — and again!
It sounds like it’ll be a lot of fun and perhaps easier than regular addiction solitaire because of the powerups and bonuses.
KenoPop released today
KenoPop! has been released. It is available to Club Pogo members only, but it did not replace the original Keno. It seems to rank up fast, especially at lower levels, and would be a fine choice of game to play when you can’t devote your full attention. We really like it so far, especially the shared number bonuses and the usual updates across the bottom of the screen that tell you how your roommates are doing.
50% off Best of ‘07 Downloads
If there’s a game you’ve had your eye on, check the Best of ‘07 list — for a limited time they’re 50% off. For badge hunters: Mahjong Garden Deluxe, Lottso! Deluxe, and The Poppit! Show are just $9.95, along with many other favorites from last year.

Rules for Tri-Peaks 2
We got our hot little hands on the rules for Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring. It looks like it’ll be a blast to play (that is, if you enjoy Tri-Peaks solitaire) and the multiplayer aspect should add just enough to the game to keep us all going with trapped minis and rescue bonuses! It also looks like this new version will have the same rank and badge structure as the original, but with six badges and an unknown (so far) number of total ranks.
Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring Out Next Week
According to the latest post on Pogo’s news page, Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring will be out next week. You’ll be able to earn mini items, earn ranks and badges, and lots of tokens in Pachinko-style bonus rounds. We’re all very excited about this; the lack of news surrounding Tri-Peaks 2/Deluxe was astounding, but now its release is right around the corner!
