looks like MS is shifting the team to a new project.
1 vs 100
Game » consists of 0 releases. Released May 08, 2009
Can one Xbox Avatar outlast a mob of 100 other Avatars in trivia? Compete against other players (as either The One, one of The Mob, or a bystander in The Crowd) on Xbox Live in this interactive trivia game based on the TV game show.
1 vs 100 is done apparently
That's too bad. I had some good times with that game. Lets hope whatever they do next is even more exciting.
I wonder how bad the numbers had to be for them to pull the plug... Any word on if the game itself will cont in re-runs with no new content/prizes, or is it going away all together? Btw, has anyone seen the terrible tv version? caught a re-run a few nights ago on latenight.... wow was it bad
I never played it because I didn't really like the show, but the idea of a live video game gameshow was an interesting.
" The game was pretty damn good for the little time that I got to play because my console red ringed. Every time I played there were thousand others that played. I can't see why they would get rid of this. Typical Microsoft, never sticks with anything. "I wonder if the license ran out or something, and MS didn't want to renegotiate. Maybe the team is working on a new gameshow that MS will own the IP of.

That's disappointing but not surprising. I played quite a bit during both seasons and enjoyed the improvements they made from beta to season 1, but noticed the attendance dropped considerably by the end of season 1. Still I had a lot of fun with it when playing with friends (I even won a copy of Carcassone and some points when I got into the mob), and it was one of the few games I could play with my wife (other than the Lego games or the occasional split screen on L4D). The live game show concept is great and I hope they come out with something similar.
It was a good idea that never had much follow through. Microsoft needed to get Velocitygirl on the project to keep it fresh.
Shame!
