Details on a brand new Playstation 3 exclusive have been released today. Ubisoft will be releasing a new title, 20 in 1 Game Fest, which will be full of classics from card to board games.
The Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) has rated the game E for everyone, as it has slight gambling links with Black Jack and Texas Hold’Em Poker because of its virtual money wager system. While it is not yet clear whether the game will be in disk or digital format, it will include many games that all gamers will know and enjoy. Chinese Checkers, Backgammon, Chess, Go, Solitaire, and Mancala are just a few games that will be playable in the title.
Many handheld platforms have these classic game titles, so seeing one come to the PS3 seems like a logical step for Sony. What we shall wait to see is if online play with friends will be avaliable, as this would certainly help sales and would bring another dimension to the game. With or without online, an exclusive like this will surely be a welcome addition to the PSN.
When I saw the title of this article I was briefly interested because I thought it meant that it was going to be a compilation of 20 classic Ubisoft games, in the vein of the collections done by Sega, Capcom, etc.
But then I realized that Ubisoft don’t actually HAVE 20 good games in their back catalogue.
