Because there apparently aren’t enough trivia video games out there, Electronic Arts just released one based on Trivial Pursuit for all major gaming consoles.
It’s the 25th anniversary of Trivial Pursuit, which means I’ve been playing this stupid game with my parents since I was 10-years-old, and if EA has anything to say about it, I’ll be playing it for a long time to come. They’ve just announced plans to release Trivial Pursuit games on every possible platform they can cram them on, from digital platforms like Pogo.com, where you can already play, to consoles both new and not-so-new. They’ve got mobile phone versions on the way, and if I know EA, I wouldn’t be surprised if handhelds got a little bit of the action as well. Certainly the iPhone needs Trivial Pursuit. Certainly I need more reasons to drop everything I am doing to compulsively answer ridiculous trivia questions.
Look for Trivial Pursuit to hit mobile phones this winter, with PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, and PS2 versions showing up in the early spring.
