Following on from the very popular Buzz games on the PS2, the PS3 version is out tomorrow (and I certainly intend to get it), coming in a standalone version to allow you to use the controllers from the PS2 version or packaged with wireless controllers.
The game itself consists of five quiz channels...
- Movies & TV
- Lifestyle
- Sports
- Music
- Knowledge
....and a quiz can consist of questions from a single channel or be mixed from all the channels. Its not yet clear if you can pick the channels to mix, say 'Music' and 'Movies & TV', if you just want those. It does however have 5,000 questions over these five channels, which should be enough to start.
However add-on quiz packs are going to be made available, in fact some are up on the store today (the day before launch), these being....
- Australian Culture *
- French Culture
- German Culture
- Italian Culture
- Spanish Culture
- UK Culture *
- Rock Legends *
- Sci-fi Movies *
- Videogames
...now only the ones marked with an * are on the UK store at present, but the full list is taken from here....

...each pack consists of 500 questions and is priced £3.49. I may download one in the near future to see how they look in terms of value for money. However what could turn out to be the most fun will be the ability to create and share quizzes with other players. The on-line side not only lets you play against others, but will allow you to create, upload, download and score quizzes. If done in a similar manner to the Singstar community it should be good (and I'm a damn sight better at quizzes than singing).

So pointless game-show nonsense or fun for all?
My opinion is the latter and by tomorrow I should be able to let you know, but what you you lot think?
