My game is fun still, but it's kinda time sensitive. The images change - this is the current version of the same quiz.

Thanks, fixed. The link was correct on his screen shot, just forgot to check the text below.

I wonder how these games will be affected after the Google Images redesign?

OK, I'll answer my own question (sorry if no one thought my revelation of Google's next level of search results display was funny). Joe's game works best with the old Google images design because he is limiting the quiz to the first search results page. The other guy is basically doing an infomercial for Google. ("Now with color-specific search results!")

Yet now I see I am nothing more to you than "the other guy," and it breaks my heart.

Actually for my game it's way easier on the creation end, no photo-shopping out the names of the images. Or there wouldn't be if I was putting up new ones. Truth is it's hard to find phrases that are guessable and don't include the text in the picture (or are super easy).

Right, I guess if you're only taking a screen shot of the images visible on the first page without scrolling it would be easier. I was thinking with that new involuntary page load of seven bajillion images it would give it right away, but of course you wouldn't capture all of them.
