You Don't Know Jack Returns!

The final word in computer-based '90s trivia is making a comeback. According to the ESRB, a new iteration of You Don't Know Jack is coming to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii.

The game's listing on the ESRB's site doesn't give a hint as to when the game will be coming out (or whether it's a full retail release or a downloadable title), but we do know that it is rated T for "crude humor, drug reference, language, mild blood, sexual themes." That sounds like classic YDKJ to me...except the blood thing. The synopsis explains that, too: "In one sequence, players may be awarded with a bucket of blood for selecting the wrong hidden answer."

Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long to show our friends how much smarter than them we are.

Never heard of it. Might be cool as a downloadable game on XBLA.

Wow I have never heard of this series but it sounds like scene it or whatever those newer trivia games are called.

I approve of this.

Yes! This is wonderful news! I was loading the article hoping it would be a console release and it is! Had lots of fun playing this with friends years ago.

Badass. I remember playing this with my friends on computer back in junior high. It's been a while. I'm all for it.

I LOVE YDKJ, especially #3. I can't wait to have a new, hopefully larger edition.

So many good memories with the board game. Fun times.
by eyros2k Monday, September 27, 2010 at 03:46 PM

The one form of trivia I have not entirely negative feelings about, heh.
by Chris Mrkvicka Monday, September 27, 2010 at 03:55 PM

I was actually just thinking a few weeks ago about the original and how it would be great to have it make a come back. Maybe I'm just psychic.
by EndrzGame Monday, September 27, 2010 at 05:02 PM

Ahhh memories. Used to play the original in the dorms on my room mates PC. Nothing like sneaking in a 12-pack on a Thursday night and staying up like to 'screw my friends over'. Good times, good times.
