Buzz! Releases Stateside - Finally!

Buzz! is pretty much the king of quiz games. It features cool buzzer controllers and has loads of games out in the series, including kids versions, sports, movies and general knowledge. As 'party' games / quiz games go, Buzz! is a classic.

So with Buzz! being so prevalent in Australia and Europe, why is it only JUST getting a release in the USA, when, let's face it, they get most games long before the rest of us. David Amor (Relentless Software Boss) thinks it may be down to US gamers being restricted to the 'den', rather than the group play of the living area.

Hmm, we're not so sure, plenty of our US readers love to play the Wii in groups--with family and friends, so really it's not like they're against socially led gameplay experiences (that would be a gross generalisation). Anyway we just thought it was strange, a game series that released in 2005 is only just getting a US release.
