Hi,

"Wits & Wagers" is the trivia party game where you don't need to know the right answers to win! Awarded Official Xbox Magazine's coveted Editor's Choice award, "Wits & Wagers" brings an inventive and accessible party experience to Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, May 7, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT).

Just like the award-winning board game, players don't have to be trivia experts to excel at "Wits & Wagers," which balances social and betting skills with trivia knowledge. Choose your wacky dancing character and then dive into the game. You can win by making educated guesses, playing the odds or just knowing the interests of other players, whether they are local or online.

Break out the Big Button pad controllers and invite friends over for an entertaining couch vs. couch multiplayer experience on Xbox LIVE, supporting 1-4 players offline and 2-6 players in online multiplayer mode. With 700 trivia questions, great character costumes and dance moves, catchy music, achievements, leaderboards, support for the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera, the Xbox Big Button Pad and more, "Wits & Wagers" is the fun party game you can play with your family and friends starting this Wednesday!

Developed by Hidden Path Entertainment, "Wits & Wagers" will be available in the U.S., U.K and Canada for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. For more details on "Wits & Wagers" please visit:

    They have a lot of these type of games coming out now, don't they?

    I still need to boot up the Lost Cities demo.

    I, loving all eurogames, could not help purchasing this.

    Once again a complete lack of players online has been found.

    God damn it.

    With those big button controllers, I really wish Jellyvision would do a XBLA version of YDJK.
    Also, if I every get around to getting Scene It, I'll probably grab this as well. I'm a sucker for trivia games. Even if I'm playing solo.

    I wonder if we should suggest it to them? I mean they really don't have to do much they have how many questions from all the different games? Not counting the Jibberish Questions (unless you plug in a keyboard) you still have... a metric fuckton.

    Wait, they would have to create a new interface and re-record the dialog. Maybe bring back some other hosts besides Cookie since he's busy with WebJack.
