American Idol

King.com has launched an online version of American Idol. The game plays very much like Dance Dance Revolution, where you try to synchronize the arrows general rhythm on the screen with the arrows on your keyboard.

The better your timing is, the better your character sings. Your performance will be judged by cartoon versions of Simon, Paula and Randy, where they decide if you have the skills to make it to Hollywood.

I gave it a try this morning, and it gets pretty darn addicting. The small keypad on my laptop isn’t ideal for this game, so I’m going to need to try again on desktop’s full keyboard.

What’s great is that when you get good enough, you can join the online tournaments for real cash. I think the jackpot is over $30k right now. Not too shabby for a bit of finger prowess.
