There are a couple good board games in this package, but calling it Family Game Night is a stretch. What, the family is going to crowd around the DS? And if it's a family game, shouldn't it support more than two players? It's too bad the developers didn't take the time to make a board game package that makes sense on the DS. This feels like a cheap attempt to ride the coat tails of Hasbro Family Game Night on Wii. There are better multiplayer games, better kids' games, better board games, better casual games...whatever this game is trying to be, there's a better version of it on the DS.

"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.
