What is Jeopardy!? Sony Online Entertainment will be bringing the classic answer and question game show to North American PlayStation 3 owners tomorrow, September 11, bringing with it 2,500 clues, online multiplayer with voice chat and, as you can see, some rather creepy character customisation. There’s no mention of an appearance from Alex Trebek or his moustache, but there is talk of expansion packs planned for 2009.
The game features multiple choice question-answers, not text input or voice recognition, something that will likely turn off Jeopardy! purists. Plans for its game show compatriot, Wheel of Fortune, also appear to be in the works.

Fortunately, the last few months have given us a glut of awesome titles to play over the holiday break. I say fortunately because to say that this week’s list is anemic would be a huge understatement. A few titles are trickling in, but considering the season and the fact that Christmas Day lands in the middle of the week this is hardly surprising. So to the game industry I say, take a break and get ready to knock our socks off in the new year. We’re looking at YOU Super Smash Brothers Brawl!
Jeopardy! Deluxe (Macintosh) It’s like having Alex Tribec in your living room.
Wheel of Fortune Deluxe (Macintosh) Bring Vanna home for the holidays!
Well, that’s it. Sorry to disappoint you… unless of course you are a Mac owner and really into game shows. In which case, I’m still sorry.
