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.

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.
