1 vs. 100
1 vs. 100 may have been canceled for good as part of the Xbox 360 Primetime initiative back in 2010, but that doesn’t mean that the game itself was a failure. In fact, it was actually pretty darn good, putting players into the famous American TV show. One player is chosen to take on the mob of 100 as they are given a question and three possible answers. Selecting the correct answer sees them move onto the next question and closer to receiving a prize, getting it wrong means game over. Mob members also have to answer questions correctly to stay in the game, hoping to outlive the ‘one’. It even offered successful mob members, or the one, the chance to win some pretty neat real-life prizes like Microsoft Points and Arcade games.
Considering smartphones are home to many casual games, something like 1 vs. 100 would be perfect as Microsoft’s first step into the mobile market. It’d work just as it did on the Xbox 360, albeit perhaps on a smaller scale. Heck, you could even do away with the real-life prizes and let us just compete for virtual trophies. And with the ability to frequently update the bank of questions, this could be a mobile game you never tire of.
