    We recently reported that Atari would show a Jenga game at E3. We wondered if it was going to be just Jenga or some kind of expanded game based on the concept of Jenga. It's just Jenga.What does the Wii bring to the table (so to speak) that the original game doesn't have? Well, the ability to play Jenga on top of a castle, or in front of a lighthouse, or in someone's living room-- and the ability to do so as an icon of a snowman.Where Wii Jenga fails and real Jenga exceeds, however, is in the graphics. The original Jenga's wood texture looks absolutely lifelike, while the texture is quite blurry and unrealistic on the Wii.

    A forum member at NeoGAF reports that Atari may be showing a previously unannounced game at this year's E3: Jenga for the Wii. We can all guess the central mechanics (pull the block out, cringe, repeat), but Jenga as a full-fledged video game? If the rumor is true, we'd love to see how Atari fleshes out the concept. Perhaps a Warcraft-esque RTS mode played with Jenga bricks?[Via Nintendo Wii Fanboy]

    According to NeoGAFer grindamasta, Atari will be showing a new, previously unnanounced game at E3: Jenga. We have no idea what it is, although we are pretty sure it'll at least be block-stacking themed.If all there is is the main Jenga game, we'd have to question the point of playing a virtual version with Wiimotes instead of just paying the $10 for the real thing. Even if the Wiimote is totally the best choice for a Jenga simulation. But again, we don't know! It could be a Puzzle Quest-style RPG with Jenga battling. Or Jenga Kart Racing.
