The party season is coming and, hopefully, we'll be able to spend time with others, downing a few beers, eating too much food and playing a ton of video games. One of those that should be on your gaming list is The Jackbox Party Pack 8.Â
What The Dub?! on Xbox is a one-trick pony, then, but it’s a trick that will keep you and up to five friends cracking up for a good hour or two. Whether you come back to it is another question, but seeing straight-faced actors spouting your drivel is probably worth that low price of admission.
Papa's Quiz on Xbox is probably the textbook definition of a fine game. It does exactly what it sets out to accomplish, and while the UI, presentation and minor design issues do hold it back from being something more, this is still a solid trivia game.
You have to wonder how many people have been giggling along to Quiplash, Fibbage and Drawful during the pandemic. The Jackbox Party Games are the perfect antidote to these locked down times, and they’re made for wedging into the middle of a video conference call. Into all of this comes The Jackbox Party Pack 7, perfectly placed to capitalise on households who just need a good laugh. The Jackbox Party Pack 7 launches today on Xbox One, PS4, Switch and PC via Steam.
The folks over at Jackbox Games are back on the scene with five new games brought together in The Jackbox Party Pack 6. Will there be enough fun concepts here to consider it as an option for your next social gathering?
Grab your phones, tablets or computers and prepare for the party starter you’ve been crying out for with the arrival of the fifth instalment of Jackbox Games’ infamous Party Packs.
With the Jackbox Party Packs storming ahead in the console party scene, and numerous indie developers rocking up with quick local hitters to keep the masses entertained, you may well think that there isn’t room for another party spectacular to thrive. But when you have a rich history of fun-bringers in your team’s history - Buzz! anyone? - then chances are the game in question will be something promising.
If there is anything better than sitting down with the fun of a Jackbox Party pack, then it has to be the chance to receive double, triple and quadruple the fun. Today that is exactly what is happening as the Jackbox Party Quadpack has arrived on Xbox One.Â
There are times when all you need to do is put down the first person shooters, walk away from the huge open worlds and jump out of the fastest racing cars, in order to grab a laugh or two. That is where the Jackbox Party Pack comes in... in particular the Jackbox Party Pack 4.
Party games aren't going to appeal to all, but in those times of need - think family get togethers, Xmas gatherings and New Year parties - they can be an invaluable tool to keeping the masses entertained. Much of their draw is the ease in which they can be picked up and played, needing to be suitable for all ages, from the very youngest, right up to granny sitting in the corner.
Whilst Use Your Words is obviously only really playable by those who can spell, from that point on it is about as good as you allow it to be. Think you’re funny? Great. Have absolutely no wit? Use Your Words caters for you too!
