First Round of Penny Arcade Omegathon is Jenga

Penny Arcade has retracted statements that the PAX ubergame battle royal, the Omegathon, would start with a round of Pac-Man. What will we see instead? Jenga. "Not the new Wii version of Jenga but actual wood blocks on a table Jenga." It's also better known as the Jenga with the pieces on which you can write naughty commands, like "run around in your underwear" and "take a shot from between two manboobs covered in Mario tattoos." And that worries me at a hardcore gaming fest like PAX. More »

Jenga Wii Hands On

"So you guys going to make fun of Jenga anymore?" This is the first question asked as I was stood in front of a flat screen monitor, handed a Wiimote nunchuck combo and given a chance to give the Wii version of Atari's virtual version of the party game where everyone gets wood.

Jenga! Confirmed For Wii And DS

That Jenga retailer listing uncovered by a NeoGAFer a few weeks back has now been confirmed by Atari, as the company has announced that the block tower building game is coming to the Wii and Nintendo DS. Wii-remote and nunchuk controls for the console version and careful stylus touchscreen controls for the handheld will simulate the excitement of removing single wooden blocks from a stack of lots of wooden blocks when the games are released this November. Press release, in which everyone is "thrilled" and "pleased" about the whole thing follows. More »
