Gamertell Review: Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz for Xbox Live

Ole! To all you football fans, I-Imagine Interactive’s Football Genius: The Ultimate Quiz for Xbox Live is all about the European type of football, soccer (so don’t confuse the title with American football).

As the title suggests, it is a quiz game all about the sport of soccer and it’s players. It covers everything about the sport: all the players past and present, all the countries, the cups, the coaches, everything. If there is something to know about the sport, it is in this game.

Gamertell Review: Buzz! Quiz TV for PS3

Trivia games are usually only as good as the questions. Get a game with questions that are either too easy or too hard and very few people will play the game more than once. Get the right level of difficulty and and a trivia game can be played until everyone has played so much, they inadvertently memorized the all of the answers.

Buzz! Quiz TV, a trivia video game wrapped in a hokey game show skin, not only offers an ample supply decently balanced questions but also promises to keep refreshing questions through online updates and user-created quizzes.

Aladdin’s Genie to host Disney Th!nk Fast

Disney Interactive Studios and Magenta Software is going to be releasing a family quiz game for the Wii and PS2 for the 2008 holiday season. Disney Th!nk Fast is going to be a quiz game (like Buzz!) hosted by Aladdin‘s Genie. Like the Buzz!, the PS2 version will come with four buzzer controllers.

While Disney Th!nk Fast is billed as a quiz game, it will consist of both trivia questions and mini-games. Players will choose a Disney character as an avatar, then answer some of the game’s 5,000 questions in 15 rounds to see who really knows their Disney trivia. Also – to make the game playable for all ages, all multiple choice questions will have picture answers so no-one is left out.

The first Seinfeld trivia game

Seinfeld, the TV series, has inspired a trivia board game with additional interactive DVD. The game, released at the same time as Seinfeld‘s ninth season and the ultimate Seinfeld television series collection, is supposed to give die-hard fans a chance to show off their knowledge of the series.

The site proclaims that the game is now available at the sale price of $24.95, but does not give the normal retail price. It is only available at the In Pursuit of Nothing site.

The game has players playing at a foldout Monk’s Coffee Shop booth, and the players are supposedly the Seinfeld characters just after lunch. Apparently George is cheap and broke, because he’s not paying his share for the meal. Everyone else has to kick in money to pay. Everyone starts with $2 in, but by answering questions, they attempt to be the one with the least amount of money chipped in. The person who manages to end without contributing to George’s portion of the bill wins.

Cranium coming to the Wii

Straight from the match made in heaven department, Ubisoft has announced it will be bringing a console version of popular board game Cranium to the Wii this December. Cranium Kabookii will feature classic Cranium gameplay while making copious use of the WiiMote and special glasses (allowing the player to read clues on the screen).

Cranium is a perfect match for the Wii and its fanbase. The game is organized around four areas of activities (the idea being that it will play well among people with different strengths) – language skills (for example, spelling a word backwards); Performance skills (think charades, or humming the tune to a song), artistic skills (drawing, etc.) and trivia questions. Players move around the board in…

EA promises to make a Wii trivia game
