Eidos Preps Sudoku for You
Yes, you, and they've got some serious brains behind the PSP/PS2 project.
Published: February 9, 2007
Carol Vorderman is a big fat smarty-pants. She's smarter than you, can do math way faster than you, is a MENSA member, has a Masters in Engineering from Sidney Sussex College (with Third-Class Honors), has a 154 IQ, and banks almost $6 million a year co-hosting the UK game show Countdown. Obviously, making that kind of money, tons of people just love her, we're sure. Plus, y'know, she's kinda cute. And her voice is fun. Seriously, if there's someone qualified to try to teach you a little sum-sum about tweaking that noggin of yours, it's probably her.
Which is probably why her name's attached to Carol Vorderman's Sudoku, the Atomic Planet-developed puzzler released by Empire Interactive's budget publishing wing in the UK. Here in the States, Empire and Eidos' cozy little relationship means The Big E will push things out here on both the PS2 and the PSP (which also supports Ad Hoc face-offs).
“Being smart is cooler than it’s ever been,” claims Eidos EVP of Sales and Marketing Bob Lindsey. “If you have ever been curious about the game of Sudoku, or simply want to sharpen your abilities, you couldn’t have a better teacher than Carol Vorderman.”
Vorderman's involvement is more than just cover girl; she actually helps coach newcomers on the basics of Sudoku and deepens the skills of more experience players with live-action tips and advice, as well as serves as the game's final challenge. Over a million permutations across six different skill levels should keep puzzle freaks entertained for quite a while.
Not that they'll be terribly riveting or anything, but if you'd like to take a peek at how the game looks, just focus those peepers of yours to the left.
