Daily Buzz

The popular trivia gameshow game has finally been upgraded from PS2 to PS3! I was pretty excited to hear this considering I am a self-proclaimed god of trivia games. I picked up the game this weekend and have spent considerable time making my family and friends feel dumb as a box of rocks. I actually felt sorry for them and had to put the buzzer down for a couple of rounds to give them a chance.

The PS3 version of the game comes with four bluetooth controllers each assigned it's own number and a bluetooth usb dongle. Yes, only one dongle is need for all four controllers so don't stress out if you opted for the cheaper version of PS3 with only 2 usb ports like I did. (Seriously, buy a 4 port usb hub, will ya?)

If you haven't played the PS2 version then let me tell you a lil about the game. You get to choose your character from about 10 different pre-designed freaks. Yes they are all weird. Like Addams family weird. You get to add your name or use the default and play a little dress up by choosing different outfit colors for you character. Entertaining the first time you play the game, but unless your 6 you'll soon not give a crap.

There are several game play styles that you will play through as you compete with the other players. Some are non-competitive and some are cut-throat. Being fast can sometimes be just as important as being correct for getting big points. Right or wrong you will be rewarded with entertaining comments from the host and retarded dances and poses from your character.

The meat and potatoes of the game comes from the actual trivia questions though. The categories are new and relevant with thousands of questions you probably won't see the same one twice for a little while. Perhaps my favorite thing about this game is the DLC from PSN. I noticed 3 question packs on PSN so far with 500 questions a piece. That's 1500 questions you can download when you have run the gambit on the disk questions.

With the addition of being able to make your own trivia questions up and add them into the game I forsee the replayability of this game being very high. If your into party games or just trivia save yourself a trip to Buffalo Wild Wings and 100 bucks in beer money. Go buy this game. You will love it. That's my 2 cents.
