Adding to the already announced (http://evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68058) Penny Arcade Episode 2 release, Xbox Live Arcade is also getting some fun with grammar school children. Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? releases at 1200 points. Shacknews has the story (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55572):

Priced at 1200 Microsoft Points ($15) and published by THQ, Blitz Arcade's Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? Makes the Grade packs all the fun of the Fox television show, featuring more than 6,000 questions from the grade school curriculum.

Buyers will be able to play against four other real-life players, either locally or online via Xbox Live. While downloadable on Xbox 360, Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? has been released as a full-fledged retail game for PC, PS2, DS and Wii.

I was given a copy of Fifth Grader card game as a birthday gift last year and it was surprisingly fun, but while 6,000 questions is quite a lot, I don't know if this is worth $15.

You've got to be kidding me?? 1200 points for "Are you smarter than 5th grader"?? Is this some sort of sick joke?

Well, I'm smart enough to know that this is not worth anywhere near 1200 points.

I wonder why they would bring this out this week. They already have Penny Arcade 2 scheduled this week, and Zombie Wranglers should also be coming out this week, too. My belief for this is that the Shocktober Play and Win contest on Xbox Live states that you receive an entry into the contest for downloading specific content from Xbox Live, with Zombie Wranglers specified as one of those eligible. With this being the last Wednesday in October, it would pretty much mean it has to come out.
