Kids will grab their Buzz! buzzers for this minigame collection on PSN.

Europeans will have the opportunity to represent their country in an international quiz contest, courtesy of SCEE. The Buzz! World Championship will begin on April 22 in the UK, Germany and France -- May 6 elsewhere. For a month after that, owners of Buzz! Brain of the UK (or any of its regional equivalents) will be able to upload their best scores to the leaderboard. The top 32 will go on to the national final, with the winner in each country finally being flown off to a secret location to play for their entire country.

The prize? That would be the Mini Clubman that you can see above. An intrinsically British prize, even though the contest is Europe-wide. Nevertheless, it could be yours if you demonstrate your patriotic knowledge later this month.

Quiz show fans get some downloadable goodness tomorrow, as PSN will feature two specific items pertaining to Buzz!. First up, Buzz! Quiz TV is getting some DLC in the 'Prehistoric Thumb' pack, which will add 500 new questions that test your knowledge on things such as the formation of the Earth and the fossils of its early inhabitants.

Also arriving on PSN tomorrow is Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party, a title made up of 5 fast-paced mini-games. Available for $4.99, Buzz! Junior: Jungle Party is a title geared towards the younger crowd and allows you to use your Buzz! controller to play through the variety of local multiplayer modes on offer.

Relentless Software lives up to its name by releasing even more Buzz! games than necessary, but this latest one from the British studio, which was just teased the other day, is hinted to be something different. It's also said to be a PSN title. According to producer Darren Tuckey, who recently spoke with VG247, the game will be "a PS3 PSN title in the social game genre."

Tuckey says that the company plans "to release more info when [it gets] back from GDC." Perhaps that means we'll hear something in April, as GDC runs until the 27th of March. Until then folks, keep those fingers on the buzzer.

Look, if the above question ever comes up, the answer's almost always going to be more Buzz! games. If you want to impress the audience with your esoteric trivia prowess, however, you might elect to answer, "Why, a new, unannounced project, of course!" You'll point out that quiz game developer Relentless Software recently updated its website, noting an ongoing hiring process not only for future Buzz! titles, but a secret, self-published project.

"Sony keep us very busy with our Buzz projects but there's something bubbling under at Relentless Towers," reads the site, referencing its agreement with Sony to pump out family-friendly knowledge-em-ups and shockingly omitting the exclamation mark in the game's title. "We've taken everything we've learned about making social games and the result is what, for the time being, is known as Secret Project #1."

For the time being? Don't be silly, Relentless. Who wouldn't buy a game called Secret Project #1?

Would you like to win a new PS3, PS2 or PSP along with a bunch of Buzz! games? Sure you do. Who doesn't like to win free stuff? Little Caesars pizza chain and Pepsi have teamed up with SCEA to give away up to 450 "PlayStation Trivia Packs" from today up until April 27. 50 packs will be given out each week. Those who participate could win one of the following:

• PS3 with Buzz! Quiz TV
• PS2 with Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz, Buzz! The Mega Quiz and Buzz! Jr. RoboJam
• PSP with Buzz! Master Quiz

But what's the catch, you ask? To enter, participants will need to grab a "Buzz in to Win" scratch-off card from any US Little Caesars restaurant after purchasing a "Hot-N-Ready" pizza with "any Pepsi beverage." Participants will then need to take the scratch-off code to this website, enter their code and see if they've won. If you enter and win, wonderful; if you don't win, you'll still get a $5 coupon (redeemable only at GameStop) for any Buzz! game.

Buzz! is coming to the UK and he's taking no prisoners. Whether you're a PS3, PSP or PS2 owner, you'll be able to get your hands on the latest Buzz! title, Buzz! Brain of the UK. Due out in March, Brain of the UK's questions will focus on UK culture, including "bands, cities, sports personalities, television favourites, wildlife, food and more."

The PS3 version will feature over 4000 questions and, just like Buzz! Quiz TV, a national leaderboard as well as MyBuzzQuiz.com and premium question pack support. The PSP version will feature 6-player multiplayer on a single console as well as a single player mode with collectible medals and awards. The PS2 version will support "thousands" of questions, which is apparently enough to keep you "buzzing for hours."

No word on the price or exact release date for any version of Brain of the UK yet, but we should hear something more concrete before its release in March. We've contacted Sony to ask whether the PS3 version will support currently available Buzz! question packs.

[UPDATE] Sony has confirmed that Buzz! quiz packs will work with "every iteration on the PS3."
