Buzz: Brain of the UK

How does the foremost videogame quiz franchise follow its sports, music and film editions? Yes, it's time for country-specific questions. As the title suggests, this latest edition in the Buzz series is loaded with questions relating to Blighty.

So think culture, celebrity, geography and the rest. 4,000 questions are included but they do lack the consistency of the more focused, older Buzz games. The PS3 version has some interesting online options – including the ability to access user-created questions – and the PSP iteration has a nifty "pass around" mode that would work well on long car journeys. But despite these additions, this feels very much business as usual for Buzz. And this is no bad thing.

Buzz is all about sitting in front of the big screen, finger hovering over the buzzer, and nothing has changed with Brain of the UK. Excellently presented, as always, and entertaining when played with a group, Buzz remains the best gaming quiz show on a console.
