On Xbox Live Arcade today: Wits & Wagers and Rock Band songs
From today, at 9AM GMT (2AM PDT), you can play Hidden Path Entertainment’s Wits & Wagers on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360. Wits & Wagers will be available in Canada, United Kingdom and United States for 800 Microsoft Points (that’s CAN$12.40 / £6.80 / US$10).
Choose a wacky character to play against your friends as you set out to answer as many questions as possible. The goal is not just to get the correct answer, but to use strategy to bet with the person you think is the closest. This isn’t just a game for brainiacs, it’s also a good game for those who know their friends well. Wits & Wagers contains 25 full hours of unique questions! With local and online play, plus the ability to link one group of local users to another group via “couch-to-couch” multiplayer, Wits & Wagers is a party waiting to happen. Get 700 questions, great character costumes and dance moves, catchy music, achievements, leaderboards, support for the Xbox LIVE Vision camera, and more. This game requires the Xbox 360 hard drive or the 512MB Memory Unit for storage.
Key game features include:
* Engaging social play: Wits & Wagers is easy to play and yet strategically deep for advanced players. Some win with their knowledge of trivia, others with what they know about their friends.
* Fun questions: The first question pack of 700 questions is included, providing hours of game play. Games consist of seven questions for a quick and casual round of fun.
* Connecting couches: The game supports one to four players at one console, or two to six players online. Invite your friends over to your house, or invite your friends online.
* Peripheral support: Wits & Wagers supports both the Xbox LIVE Vision Camera and the Big Button Pad controller.
Also coming later in May is a patch for Mr. Driller Online to fix the online lag. Namco Bandai has promised that the patch will fix the online technical glitches.
