You Don't Know Jack delayed...a little

First things first...for our under 20 crowd we are not talking about the HBO show.

What we are talking about is the first new You Don't Know Jack (hereafter referred to as YDKJ) title in eight years. That's right, the last time we got our hands on the PC party game franchise of the 90's was back in 2003.

For those who aren't in the know, YDKJ is a party trivia game geared towards adults. This does not mean it's a trivia game about porn. Instead it means a strange but entertaining combination of tough questions and late night humor. These games were a lot of fun but not something you want to play with Mom. At least not our moms.

First released in 1995, YDKJ titles were pumped out at dizzying rates until 2000 when the developers realized that they had run out of trivia questions (or customers). They released one more title in 2003, but since then have laid low...until now.

Originally scheduled for January 25, THQ has announced that they need a few more weeks of polish time. So if you're dying for another round of party trivia, and who isn't, you will need to wait until February 8th.

The game will be shipped for the DS, WII, PS3 and Xbox 360. As usually the PC gets screwed (fyi, that's an in-game reference).
