IGN writes: "Not so long ago Electronic Arts announced a licensing partnership with Hasbro to bring familiar, popular board games to the casual market across all gaming platforms. At Games Convention EA had on display one of the first Wii titles to benefit from this corporate buddying-up: Hasbro Family Game Night.
This Wii title -- and subsequent port to the PS2 -- is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: recreations of classic board games. Sorry, Battleship, Connect Four, Boggle, Yahtzee, and a new game hitting stores this Fall (or as of this writing), Sorry Sliders. These classic games are built using the point-and-click aspect of the Wii remote for navigation, and, in some cases, the motion control for when you want to shake up the Boggle cube or roll some Yahtzee dice."

"This week, Xbox LIVE Gold members can get the following Hasbro Family Game night titles for 50% off."
This is the second time this deal has come around so if you didn't get the games the first time now would be a time to complete the collection. Suprised I haven't seen any deals on MS point cards. I think the main reason for this sale is that the new FGN3 is not coming to XBLA, at least it hasn't been announced. Personally I have played the new one and would not buy more than Life, Yahtzee Hands Down, and maybe Mouse Trap. Definately not worth the full disc price. Sorry Hasbro but bad move leaving the FGN XBLA fans in the dust.
