What's the most successful trivia game to appear on a video-game console? It's a trick question. There's never been a really popular console trivia game. Even popular franchises like Trivial Pursuit and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire have been unable to make the jump. Computer trivia buffs have it better, thanks to You Don't Know Jack, Jeopardy! and dozens of online question-and-answer competitions. But publishers seem to feel that mayhem-loving console gamers won't slow down for more cerebral activity. So it's kind of surprising that we've seen three new trivia video games - one each for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 and Wii - over the last few months. Could any of them be as satisfying as filling in that last piece of Trivial Pursuit pie during your family game night? Scene It? Lights, Camera, Action
