When did teenage girls stop fancying Peter Andre?

Let's be clear, he never did anything for me. His great puffing pectorals offered about as much visual stimuli as a pack of inflated tires covered in baby oil.

However, for girls at an awkward age – usually discovering their in-built sexuality via the pages of Just Seventeen - Andre was their ideal delivered in physical form: pumped up, tanned like he'd spent a year trapped in the local tanning salon, and never likely to challenge them intellectually.

Now, girls seem to like lads pale and wafer thin, like a crumpled up piece of paper that's got stuck in the printer tray. For the modern lass, Twilight's Robert Pattinson is the ultimate pin-up, offering them feelings and the kind of stomach one can only obtain by not eating for a couple of months.

The real Twilight trilogy

So popular is the film franchise, in fact, that GameHouse has been able to serve up a succession of what are fairly basic quiz games based on each of the three movies.

With the first three films now out of the way, the publisher has decided to bundle them all up in one bumper pack, bringing an abundance of questions about almost every aspect of the franchise you can think of together for the first time.

As you might expect, this is territory reserved for superfans only, with the format for all three releases – Twilight: The Movie Game, Twilight: New Moon Movie Game and Twilight: Eclipse Movie Game - essentially identical.

Taking on the role of one of the series's characters, the three games consist of little more than a quiz, each one adopting the three-tries-and-then-you're-out approach. Dealing with multiple choice questions is the challenge, with more points on offer the quicker you answer questions.

Questionable questions

Said questions range from various plot points to pieces of cast trivia – most no doubt easy to answer for fans of the series, but alien to all others. Any sense of categories or order is ignored, the games instead acting as lotteries from beginning to end.

Even with turn-based multiplayer added on for good value, however, it's questionable just how long any of the three game will sit on a fan's mobile. Play them once or twice and their tricks are spent.

By the same token, by packaging them together Twilight Bundle is the nearest the franchise's fans will come to sitting in the Mastermind chair, undoubtedly offering better value than buying all three games individually. Even if the content isn't quite as solid as one of Andre's abs.

Twilight Bundle

Not the deepest of challenges, GameHouse's Twilight Bundle has value, purely because it brings together the company's three quiz games in one neat package
