…or can you?<\/p>\n
Doubtless you’ve gathered there’s a new You Don’t Know Jack! <\/strong>coming out in the States on February 8th – for the uninitiated, YDKJ is the mildly amusing outrageous trivia gameshow video game. You get asked a bunch of (in the main) quite clever questions\u00a0of both high and pop cultures\u00a0(frequently both at once)\u00a0and get called a div if you get them wrong. There was a UK version with Paul Kaye (Dennis Pennis)\u00a0hosting and written by popular studenty-comics at the time. It was nicely done and it was a cult success, although not as much as it was in Germany where they did several, and in the US this will be the seventh main game after a lengthy hiatus. There was even a TV show of it.<\/a><\/p>\n Well Alex Buzzerblog has a video of the new game in action<\/a>\u00a0which I can’t actually watch properly\u00a0at the moment because my current computer is without sound, which removes a lot of the point. But what if you did want to play it in the UK? Culturally, you’d still be able to “get” about 70%-75% of the references in my experience (questions about US\u00a0advertising and US sports may be lost on you), unfortunately it’s probably not going to be released over here.<\/p>\n But never fear, because if you did still want to play you probably still can – Amazon.com will export it over here for about $50 total.<\/p>\n Now, the PC and DS versions are going to be region free, of this I am 99% confident. Most PS3 games are also region free, so you could probably import that without worry. I’ve ordered the XBox 360 version as a large number (but not all) of XBox games are region free and I’ve got an XBox – fingers crossed, I will let you know when it arrives (the fact that Amazon will export it to our territory is probably a good sign). The Wii version almost certainly won’t<\/strong> be region free so import with caution.<\/p>\n This is only advice don’t take it as gospel although as ever I’m putting my money where my mouth is so if you can hold on wait for my copy to come through before committing yourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …or can you?
