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! 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.

Today, Pogo has posted a very insightful edition of “Letters to the Editor” that covers, among other things, the recent site problems that people have been experiencing and gives a little (..okay, VERY LITTLE, TEENSY, TINY BIT of news, but not really news to BadgeHungry readers, but still…) more information on the upcoming Word Riot Deluxe game. At the very least, it’s nice to see Pogo addressing the recent site problems in a public forum.
