n 2007, Electronic Arts signed an exclusive agreement with Hasbro to produce games based on some of the items in its vaults, and so far people have seen Scrabble, Hasbro Family Game Night, Trivial Pursuit, and more. EA also just announced Hasbro Family Game Night 2 for the Wii and DS, due out later this fall, which will add Pictureka, Bop-It, Operation, Jenga and others to the mix.
But where are the titles like Risk, Axis & Allies, and Dark Tower?

"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.
