Similarly, a second game called Lemon uses the same framework but with different categories (boys' and girls' names, body parts, cities, and things you can do with a lemon) to squeeze out hilarious and random sayings like 'Sophia will bake Matthew's abdomen in Mazatlan,' which is bound to tide over dull moments and keep everyone entertained. After that, you pick a lucky number and the automated fortune teller comes up with a short description of your future life. There is, of course, MASH, where you can either manually enter your preferences or use Emily's picks in each of the five spaces for crushes, cars, jobs, cities, wedding dress colors, and number of children. Although the app doesn't have fancy graphics or complex animations, what it has instead is a clean and charming front that will appeal to its intended audience as they flick through Emily's journal and choose one of four games to play.
We're not entirely sure if kids of this generation still play such simplistic things (as gadgets like the Nintendo DS and PS3 are increasingly getting touted everywhere), but for most of us who grew up around cute and inventive paper-and-pen games, Broken Thumbs Apps' recently released Emily's Girl Talk is sure to evoke plenty of happy childhood recollections. What's good: Girls, remember those long-ago school days when you'd sit at your desk and, during idle class moments, daydream about your crush and doodle on your notebooks? Passing mischievous notes to friends was inevitably part of that routine, and so were games like MASH and Love Game.
