iPad game show

I don't do game shows on iPad, mainly because I don't have an iPad. I just watch 'em on TV.

But if you're one of the iPad multitudes, Braindex is getting good reviews around the app world. The game does take a bow towards our little genre, with c-list celebs answering trivia questions about this, that and the other. The host looks like a trivia nerd, which is appropriate enough.

Just like TV game shows, Braindex releases new episodes each week. The app is free, so buyer's remorse is unlikely. And there's always the thrill of victory (or the agony of defeat) if you beat (or get beaten) by the celeb. Who wouldn't want reassurance that their brain is bigger than the real-life Barbie's?

I've always been a sucker for trivia game shows, so it's nice to see a new "show" even if it's not really a show. Or have apps become shows now? This is the iPad era, after all.
