Does anyone have any info about this? Is this *the* Countdown as opposed to some random game called Countdown?

It's real and (according to unnamed sources) quite rubbish.

Wow. Tbh, I still reckon a portable version of apterous would be awesome (so on the DS or whatever). Can anyone find screenshots of this Wii game? I'd like to know what it looks like.

Re: Countdown Wii Game?
Can you actually play apterous from your phone? I'm travelling round the country in 2 weeks time for a week - spending numerous hours and nights on railway stations alone. It would be awesome to buy a phone just to pound out the practice when the freight trains are running thin on the ground.Ben Wilson wrote:Java enabled 3G phone + apterous= win.

If the person filming wasn't masturbating so furiously, Kirk's natural dancing ability would have been easier to appreciate.

Re: Countdown Wii Game?
It looks like it's coming out on the Nintendo DS as well. Maybe there's going to be some connecting link option involving that version as well as the Wii version.Michael Wallace wrote:Wow.

Well, we'll have to wait until October 23
Like most of these computer games that try to copy our favourite quiz/game shows, it'll probably be rubbish.
Having said that, unless you had a pen or paper, the interactive DVD game was hard too, since the letters and numbers disappeared while the clock was there
