The forefront of polygonal "hand in the jeans pocket" technology!

Sorry to be Mr. Monday-Morning-Snap-Judgment Jerk Guy over here, but 1200 Microsoft points for a lame-looking trivia game based on an awful TV game show starring Jeff Foxworthy, a man I would avoid seeing and hearing for the rest of my life, if given the option?

Thanks but no thanks.

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader is this week's Xbox Live Arcade release.

Just another casual catastrophe.

1,200 points for that? That's ridiculous.

Virtual Jeff Foxworthy is going to haunt my dreams.

We have that show over here in the UK, called 'Are you smarter then a ten year old'.
Nice.

Geography is where they get you, on the show. Who the hell knows where Uzbekistan is, or what country shares the longest border with Russia?

I don't watch the show regularly, but I'll watch it if I catch it on....it's entertaining and insulting all at the same time, and I like it for some reason....

I hope they did a better job with that than SOE did with Jeopardy on the PSN. $15 for Jeopardy and there's no music form the show and no Alex Trebec. WTF?!
So glad I skipped it and got Buzz Quiz TV! instead. So I say, skip this and just get Scene it! if you only have a 360, get Buzz if you have both.

This game is totally fun, but at 1200 points Foxworthy can suck it.

You're obviously not as smart as a 5th Grade if you buy this game.... ZING!

I'd rather pay 1200 points to hear redneck jokes.

See what happens when people give into MS and start buying their overpriced Arcade games?
The more people that line up to throw $15 at games like Braid, CC, and Portal the more these clowns think they can get away with ripping us off.
First they killed the $5 arcade game, now they're phasing out the $10 games.

this should be the press release for the game.

OK, reality check time. Can anyone tell me if any of this is actually happening? I've got a loose grip on reality after hearing about this upcoming 2D digitized fighting game.
