"How tall do American Bison generally grow? Where does the action in Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash begin? Which of these is the lair of the villain in the James Bond movie, The Man With the Golden Gun?" Who is the best video game reviewer writer in the world? (the hint is me)...

OK, so you got me! The reviewer question is my own creation but the first three questions are actually featured on the back of the Trivial Pursuit video game box. Unfortunately, I only know the answer to the James Bond Question but after I'm done reviewing EA's Trivial Pursuit I plan on drastically improving my trivial knowledge. I would love to be at a dinner party and ask some accountant if he or she knows how tall American Bison generally grow. My guess is that I will get a 'go to hell look'.

When it comes to board games, Trivial Pursuit is one of the more popular ones. I would love to be a game show contestant but I know better. About the only show I would do well on would be The Price is Right and only if they would have a video game pricing section. However, playing Trivial Pursuit with your friends can be the best next thing. But playing Trivial Pursuit in a video game might be even better than playing it on the actual board for two main reasons. First, no one can cheat; there is no card hiding or miss-shuffling or anyone getting mad and kicking the board. Also, setting up the game and cleaning up after yourself can be a matter of seconds; now, all you have to do is turn off the game, put away the controllers and you're done. But before I get all excited about not having to clean up hundreds of cards I better take a good close look at the game and make sure that it actually works well in all aspects besides just the easiness of cleaning up.
