“You Don’t Know Jack” was a fantastic series of trivia games for the PC. It had a fun variety of questions, and a lot of humor (including lots of insults :p) The first new game in, like, 8 years is getting released in a week across pretty much all platforms (PC, PS3, 360, Wii, DS.) Obviously not all versions are identical, though I suspect the PS3 and 360 ones are probably like 99% the same, and odds are the PC version is pretty close to them. The DS one is obviously the “oddest man out.”
The new version will feature the tried and true Cookie Masterson as your host, and will have online multiplayer for the PS3, and 360 versions (sorry PC, Wii, and DS, local only (the DS has ad-hoc wifi multiplayer…I’m not sure if every person has to have a copy, or if only one person has to.))
Like in older games, you ca “screw” your opponent and force them to answer a question.
I’m really looking forward to this, and already have it pre-ordered for my PS3.
Spent many a college night on various substances playing that game with friends until the wee hours of the morning. I played it when I found it on the internet, but there was only a handful of games and it just wasn’t as fun playing by myself.
Thank you! I loved these games. There were so many hidden surprises. If you played it in the middle of the night, the host would act like you woke him up. If you played on a holiday, they would reference the holiday throughout the game. little touches that I loved.
The best was once I started the game up and got distracted by something and that was how i found out if you don’t give yourself a name, the game names you. From then on I always let the game name me because the names were hilarious.
This may be moderately sacrilegious, but did anyone else prefer Nate as a host over Cookie? I liked Cookie better as the loudmouth during the sign-in who made up crude nicknames for you if you took too long to type your name. Nate’s voice was more smoothly sarcastic, conveying a sense of “I’m on your side… sorta,” even as he mocked you mercilessly, which fit the “host” role better, I thought.
