BUZZ! Quiz World is ... more Buzz

The PSP game will feature 3,000 new questions and introduces online infrastructure mode. Like the PS3 game, players will be able to access user-generated MyBUZZ! content and will offer downloadable quiz packs as DLC.
It's hard to say much more about the game, as we're sure most of you are quite familiar with it. Looks like BUZZ! is taking a Madden-esque approach, with minor updates improving the franchise annually. We're not sure if it'll garner the same following as EA Sports' series, though.

Trophies: Buzz! Junior RoboJam

Buzz! World Championship competition begins this month

The prize? That would be the Mini Clubman that you can see above. An intrinsically British prize, even though the contest is Europe-wide. Nevertheless, it could be yours if you demonstrate your patriotic knowledge later this month.

Buzz! developer's new game will be a social, PSN title
Relentless Software lives up to its name by releasing even more Buzz! games than necessary, but this latest one from the British studio, which was just teased the other day, is hinted to be something different. It's also said to be a PSN title. According to producer Darren Tuckey, who recently spoke with VG247, the game will be "a PS3 PSN title in the social game genre."Tuckey says that the company plans "to release more info when [it gets] back from GDC." Perhaps that means we'll hear something in April, as GDC runs until the 27th of March. Until then folks, keep those fingers on the buzzer.
For 250 points: What is Buzz! developer Relentless working on next?
"Sony keep us very busy with our Buzz projects but there's something bubbling under at Relentless Towers," reads the site, referencing its agreement with Sony to pump out family-friendly knowledge-em-ups and shockingly omitting the exclamation mark in the game's title. "We've taken everything we've learned about making social games and the result is what, for the time being, is known as Secret Project #1."
For the time being? Don't be silly, Relentless. Who wouldn't buy a game called Secret Project #1?

Killzone 2, Buzz and Heavenly Sword LBP DLC revealed

While unlikely, the low-res textures and low poly-count of the Buzz model have us thinking ... maybe, just maybe, this may be a model from the upcoming PSP version?

Buzz! Brain of the UK coming to PS3, PSP and PS2 in March

The PS3 version will feature over 4000 questions and, just like Buzz! Quiz TV, a national leaderboard as well as MyBuzzQuiz.com and premium question pack support. The PSP version will feature 6-player multiplayer on a single console as well as a single player mode with collectible medals and awards. The PS2 version will support "thousands" of questions, which is apparently enough to keep you "buzzing for hours."
No word on the price or exact release date for any version of Brain of the UK yet, but we should hear something more concrete before its release in March. We've contacted Sony to ask whether the PS3 version will support currently available Buzz! question packs.
[UPDATE] Sony has confirmed that Buzz! quiz packs will work with "every iteration on the PS3."

Celebrate Obama's inauguration with a new Buzz! Quiz TV pack
The question pack will contain 500 questions "covering everything from national history to U.S. icons." For some examples of the sort of questions that will be included make sure you check out the PlayStation Blog post. In other Buzz! news, a pack of five Buzz! Jr.: Jungle Party mini games are being released in February and more Buzz! Jr. titles are planned for the coming year.
Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party rated by the ESRB
The original PS2 game was aimed towards children and families and featured 25 mini-games for players to partake in. The games didn't involve answering trivia questions. Instead, players used the four colored buttons on the buzzers to slide down trees, or skydive, etc.
Sony says 'we're leading in user-generated content'
Denny also noted that LittleBigPlanet has almost 180,000 community created levels having been played for a combined total over 22.4 million times. Denny admits that a strong community backbone in previous hardware generations eased the move to the PS3 for some of these key Sony games -- speaking specifically about Buzz! and SingStar. While LittleBigPlanet hasn't performed in terms of sales as many, including us, would have predicted, it looks like the community response to the original IP has shown a tremendously healthy sign of interest.
