Super-fun comparison board game Apples to Apples will become a PSN and XBLA game this holiday season. THQ is adding social and online connectivity in the videogame version, which will allow for connected play, anywhere and at any time.

I have no idea how this will work online, but I know that Apples to Apples is a fantastic game offline. Get a few drinks in you and this adjective matcher turns ridiculous. I would love the ability to create custom noun cards, like some do with the board game.

The game feature single, local and six-player online play. The release mentions Golden Apple cards, which can be used to change the rules. There's also Facebook support, which lets you brag about your comparisons. Also expect DLC: cards, backgrounds and more. 

THQ says that the game will later expand to Facebook and mobile devices.

Apples to Apples will be priced at 800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360, or $9.99 on PS3.

Looks like the Vision Camera/Kinect will be worth a damn.

Dale is right. Drive some drinks into yourself and a couple of friends and you will all be laughing until you pee yourselves playing this.

800 Microsoft points for a card game. Wowzers

I can vouch for this game being awesome when sober too. However, I'm curious to see how this is going to work. Hope I find out soon.

Is Helen Keller still the win-all trump card?

UltorOscariot

I'm intrigued. It's fun game that made nights with the in-laws a tinge less awful.

I WANT THIS FOR XBLA ALREADY DAMMIT!

Oh yeah, I forgot all about this game.

32BS, they made a digital version for Windows Phone and an XBLA version is in the works.

I love this game but I'm skeptical as to how well it will work in single player. It seems ripe for a bullshit cheating AI. However I'm sure Online it will be a blast, hopefully it doesn't become infested with naked dudes on their webcams like Uno did.... Who am I kidding? Of course that will happen.

I was just telling my friends last week that I didn't know why this wasn't already a download. Can't wait to try random matches, since figuring out how to play to your audience is so key.

Awesome game. Best since Sorry.

Chad Concelmo

AMAZING!

Tara Long

AWESOMESAUCE. Who wants to play with me? :D

I know the board game is rather difficult to find these days, so it's good that there will be a digital version at least. Also, as far as drunk party board games go, Apples to Apples is definitely up there.

For thsoe who like Apples to Apples: A friend picked up Cards Against Humanity (http://cardsagainsthumanity.com/) which is essentially a depraved version of Apples to Apples, and it is quite excellent. Plenty of memes and pop culture references and many cards that will let you sound exactly like the terrible person you really are.

Darren Nakamura

Good game, but I'll only get it if other Dtoiders do.

Tyler Sedrick

I love this game I will be buying this day one can't wait!

FatherChesz

It is considered a ritual in my circles to reserve the Helen Keller card for a sexually themed adjective. This is probably the only assured victory in Apples to Apples.

This game is friggin beast!

PhunkyPhazon

I love this game! But will this contain single player as well? I don't know how the hell they would pull that off. Most of the fun comes from laughing at the absolute insane comparisons and the things you and your friends guess about each other. That will be gone without an actual person to play it with.

WSwan

Never played this, but only ever heard good things. That's not true, but I still want to play it (in actuality) sometime.

My Helen Keller story: played it on "Senseless."

I won.
