Joystiq reports that the long-time-coming new entry in the You Don’t Know Jack franchise won’t be coming until the begining of February. The up-shot? In the meantime, we get a free single-player demo to help remind us why we loved the original so much, which you can check out here.
Also—and this is news to me, but possibly not to anyone else—You Don’t Know Jack is actually going to be a full retail release, not a cheap-o downloadable game. It’s only going to cost $40, but I was kinda expecting $15. It should be worth it either way, though, judging by the game’s pedigree and the online demo…and judging by the fact that I still play the old PlayStation version at least once a month.
My ex-girlfriend took my PS1 version of YDKJ, dumped me and lost it. It was heartbreaking. I loved that game.
You Don’t Know Jack is an awesome gaming series. Jokes are funny, questions are compelling, and the Jack Attack is just awesome. Glad the series is making a comeback.
