Breaking Noose!

Social gaming behemoths Zynga have released Hanging With Friends onto the Canadian App Store.

Based on the classic children's game Hangman, you have to correctly guess words one letter at a time in order to save a man from being hanged. And they said Mortal Kombat was a bad influence?

In this modern rendition, there is a hefty portion of social features to make things more chortlesome, including the ability to play up to 20 concurrent games against your existing contacts.

Instant replays also mean that you can have a good old laugh as you watch your opponents struggle and squirm to work out the partially revealed phrases.

Hanging With Friends is out now in Canada for 99c, and will be available worldwide soon.
