Impress Them All With Hanging With Friends

The creators behind Words With Friends have released a new app for the iPhone/iPod touch. Hanging With Friends combines the simplicity of the classic hangman game with social networking. Created by Zynga, the app lets users play against others on Facebook or Twitter. However, unlike Words With Friends, which is Scrabble-based, this one is similar to the hangman game many played as children. Each player creates a word for the other to solve. Guess correctly and you move to another round; miss it and you might fall off the tree and see your opponent move on. During the game, players can interact using built-in chat capabilities and collect coins that may be used to reverse moves or give you more opportunities to guess a word correctly. Can't find a friend online? No problem, since you can play with a random opponent too. Features include:

• Cute characters in perilous situations
• Instant replay lets you see your opponent’s guesses
• Use strategic lifelines for hints

Built on the Games With Friends platform:

• Turn based design lets you play up to 20 games simultaneously
• Play with friends or find a match with a random opponent
• Stay in touch with friends and family with in-game chat messaging
• Push notifications tell you when it’s your turn
• Find friends to play with easily using Facebook Connect

Hanging With Friends is definitely a treat and best of all there is both a free and paid version of the app, which costs $.99 in the App Store.
