"Hasbro Family Game Night," a new game for the Nintendo Wii, may be just the game for the family facing the technology divide.
It brings favorite board games that the older generation loves to a high-tech platform that the younger generation adores, so playing the games is so easy that both generations will enjoy having a "Game Night" in front of the TV.
From Electronic Arts, "Hasbro Family Game Night" is hosted by Mr. Potato Head and offers families the opportunity to play Boggle, Connect Four, Yahtzee, Battleship and Sorry, as well as something new called Sorry Sliders. In addition to the traditional games, each game has at least one variation.
The compilation also has a special Party Mode that is full of minigames that use the game boards but are totally different from the traditional games.
So is this video game compilation as fun as playing those board games around the kitchen table? Yes, but it's different. Here's the scoop.

"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.
