One of the highlights of the You Don’t Know J
ack series has always been its topical nature. And the series couldn’t be more topical in its iDevice debut, with questions and comments about Elizabeth Taylor’s death, Charlie Sheen’s bizarre behavior, and the royal wedding. As with the recent console version, this is a wonderful blend of sarcasm and trivia and melds old school gameplay with modern times. The jokes might go too far for some parents, though, so this is definitely not a game for younger players. Older players will love the humor, however. And, as an added bonus, the questions are truly challenging, which could help you learn a thing or two as you play.

Game review: You Don’t Know Jack
Trivia games often run the risk of being 
run-of-the-mill. That is anything but the case with You Don’t Know Jack. The game, which is a revival of a series that was popular in the mid-1990s, perfectly blends sarcasm and quirky trivia. And it’s something that will delight both old fans of the series as well as those just being exposed to it. The game is a throwback to the simpler days of gaming, while still remaining relevant to today’s player. And while many titles try (and fail) to be funny, YDKJ is one of those few games that will have you laughing regularly — and loudly. And if you’re not careful, you just might learn something in the process. It’s a must have for even the most casual fans of trivia and party games.
Trivia titan You Don’t Know Jack…is back
The mid-1990s was a golden era for video games, 
giving birth to classics like Tomb Raider, Pokemon and Half-Life. But as developers began to steer titles in a more serious direction, there was one game that not only embraced its irreverent roots; it flaunted them proudly.
You Don’t Know Jack was a refreshing slap in the face to boring trivia games — and overly solemn games, in general. Now, after an 8-year hiatus, it’s back this week on just about every major game platform.
