Hasbro Family Game Night is a collection of classic "board games" rather then just one. Six games have been transformed into this digital format Boggle, Connect 4, Sorry!, Yahtzee, Sliders and Battleship. Each game is available in its classic rule set with you playing it as you would if it had just come out of its more usual cardboard box. However, to add to the games longevity Family Game Night also features several different versions of each game. For instance Battleship is playable with Classic, Salvo and Super Weapons rules, whilst Sorry! is playable with classic and bonus cards and Yahtzee can be played with classic rules in addition to advanced and block out rules. As well as these predefined versions of the games, you are also able to choose custom rules for each. This combined with the multiple rule sets for each really adds to the variation on offer in Family Game Night!"

"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.
