PictoImage
Publié le 26 août 2008 sur Nintendo DS, PictoImage est un jeu de type quiz et trivia développé par SKonec Entertainment et édité par Sega. Ce jeu de puzzle facile à prendre en main invite les joueurs à dessiner à tour de rôle l'image d'un mot, pendant que les concurrents tentent de deviner ce mot avant la fin du temps imparti. Les mots sont générés aléatoirement et peuvent être aussi variés qu'une pomme, une cascade ou un majordome. Même si le dessin n'est pas le point fort de chacun, les trois modes de jeu proposés visent à offrir une expérience accessible à tous et peuvent aider à apprendre à dessiner.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« The single-player mode is surprisingly entertaining, while single-DS play is perfect for car journeys. And, provided you have a dictionary on hand, it can even be pretty educational. »
« PictoImage is a game of simple, approachable thrills, and that bodes extremely well for pulling your significant other, siblings, or parents into its addictive grasp. »
« Amazing fun in groups, okay in single player but by far the best multiplayer game on the DS. »
« With a decent array of modes and a charming exterior, you could do a lot worse for your money than PictoImage. »
« As this is a party game for the youngsters there was no need to add the Single Player option. However, there has been an attempt to prolong the gamelife after Christmas is over with the Single Player, which is actually fairly challenging. With no real flaws, and a Single Player mode to make it stand out from games like Bakushow, it’s a good fun buy for a quick laugh. »
« If you're a parent thinking about picking up this game for your kid, I think you may be on the right track if you just want your kid to be creative, learn how to draw, share something with his friends, etc. However, it may not be as exciting for them as playing MegaMan, LEGO StarWars, or Animal Crossing, so you may have to give it some thought. »
« With a group of like-minded friends PictoImage is worth its weight in gold, but sadly the single player portion of the game is far less essential. »
« PictoImage isn't a bad game, but neither is the version that you can play with only a pen and paper. »
