IGN: Wits & Wagers Review

If you like numbers – dates, weights, estimates, measures, etc. – then Wits & Wagers may be right up your alley. But as an overall trivia experience, it wears out its welcome fairly quickly. The betting is an interesting feature and it democratizes the game somewhat. And depending on your perspective, that can be either positive or negative. As the first of its kind on XBLA, Wits & Wagers works, but isn't the party game IGN have been waiting for.

Where Have All The Quiz Games Gone?

Play Vault:

"This generation of consoles has been the generation for the rise of online, multiplayer gaming. The vast majority of players, play their games online or have the functionality in place to do so. Last weekend I decided to buck the trend and play a game (Wait for it…Brace yourself...) in local multiplayer with both of us playing on the same Xbox console, in the same room! (Gasp!)"

They have gone mobile. Quiz games have a perfect home with mobile devices. Games consoles is an odd fit for them. Quiz games are good for passing time here and there

Castle Crasher is one of the worst games on XBLA? Is this guy on crack?

vgn244775d ago

I agree that he'd have to be on something, but maybe you should have read it. Doesn't appear that the guy said Castle Crashers was the worst.

Derekvinyard134775d ago

Castle crashers isnt even on there!!

darthv724775d ago

some of them are indie games. Yeah there are some stinkers on the indie side as there is on the regular side.

Not all indie games are bad though. Diamonds in the rough if you will.

guitarded774775d ago (Edited 4775d ago )

He/she just put the pic to get hits Raichu50 is a LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!

antz11044775d ago

LOL at the total flamebait pic to get people to read,CC wasn't even on there.

Low tactic author, very low indeed.

B1663r4775d ago

He should have chosen a Yaris logo instead of Castle Crashers, because Castle Crashers is one of the best games this gen.

READ IT! The pic was meant to get attention at most, Got mine.

Neko_Mega4775d ago

Castle Crasher isn't on this list, I think this person used it to get hits.

Other then that I think I list is right on the dot, but using Castle Crasher pictue was kind of bs.

BeaRye4775d ago

How in the F is that Doritos game not on there? It's absolute garbage.

oddexarcadia4775d ago

You have to keep in mind that this is from someone who used the Castle Crasher pic to get attention for their article.

darthv724775d ago

i have the first one but never really played it. The crash course one is pretty fun though. Sort of a mix of ninja warrior and wipeout.

dash of destruction...had to think a minute. Seeing as i never played it i cant say one way or the other. It was free and for a free game that is better than Yaris it cant be all that bad.

antz11044775d ago

Dude for a free game Crash Course is pretty fun and addicting.

IDK, did Doritos have another game I didn't know about?

darthv724775d ago

crash course is the latest one with avatar support. The first one was called dash of destruction and it was some kind of trex running around breaking stuff in a top down type of view.

It might still be on xbla for free.

antz11044775d ago

I did not know that, thanks Darth!

KaBaW4775d ago (Edited 4775d ago )

I don't know of the game you are talking about.. but, if I'm not mistaken, they (Doritos) had another game, for XBLa. This game was played with four(4) teams of two players, or with bots, where one player drove a vehicle around a track in a race, using a select of 4 vehicles. The other player controlled turrets, that were placed around the track, to shoot at and destroy the contending teams vehicles or gunners. Whilst the driver tried to avoid the gunners, and to remain in first place (obviously) while picking up 'abilities.' Such abilities were that of one giving your vehicle a shield, one that upgraded your gunners turrets, one downgraded the contending gunners turrets, and one for a boost (I believe).

Fun game, I say. It's called Harm's Way. It's free.

Tikicobra4775d ago

Wow, that's the most pathetic attempt at getting views I've seen in quite a while.

BeaRye4775d ago

I think (at least hope) that it's a "contrast" thing meaning Castle Crashers is awesome.

Weirdest exclusive game on 360 that you can get for $1 is Sneak King... Burger King game and you play as a creeper.
