Go ahead, Press Your Luck
I wish the name of this game, and the game show it was based, on was called “Press your F***ING Luck,” because I think youngsters might be more inclined to play it. But for those familiar with the popular game show, well now you can amuse yourself with the home game. You know, the game they give you when you lose as a contestant? It used to be a board game, but now we are in the digital age. Wow, technology is simply amazing isn’t it? Where was I? Oh yeah, Ubisoft has released Press Your Luck 2010 Edition for the Nintendo Wii, DS and Windows-based PCs.
Press Your Luck is a digital remake of the game show from the 80’s where players assume the role of one of the three contestants competing to win by answering a series of trivia questions correctly to earn “spins” on the Big Board of cash and prizes. Press Your Luck 2010 Edition features single- or multiplayer modes and the ability to design and customize a personal avatar. The game has been created by Ludia and is licensed by FremantleMedia Enterprises (FME).
