Hasbro Family Games to release mid-March, include Avatar support

Nestled in a press release announcing the inclusion of Yahtzee in Hasbro Family Game Night (something we already knew) is confirmation that four Hasbro games will be releasing on Xbox Live Arcade sometime this March.

Scrabble, Connect Four, Battleship and Yahtzee will be the first four Hasbro titles made available when Xbox Live's special Family Game Night Destination launches next month. Boggle, Sorry! and Sorry! Sliders will release later this year.

The press release also confirms Avatars will be supported and that each title can be purchased individually for 800

($10). If that wasn''t enough information, we're told the Family Game Night Destination lets players launch Hasbro games from their own customized game room. This uniquely decorated space accommodates Mr. Potato Head, can be shared with friends and sounds to be somewhat inspired by Home.

I think 10 each is kindof stiff for simple games like connect 4 and battleship. I think if thats the case the only one I will get is Scabble.

Hmm...Battleship might be fun, but give me Monopoly and Risk that you can play on XBL.

Heck yeah on Risk. Its hard to find people who actually want to sit and play that game with me.
Add DLC so you can get the Halo Wars version and Castle Risk.
Could do the same thing with Monopoly and its 500 versions.

I see some late night sessions of online Scrabble as I obsess over my ranking...

$10? Per game? These same games that you can get pocket electronic versions of for free in cereal boxes? Erm, NO.

Next thing you know, they'll want to charge us for Minesweeper...

I hate to say it man, but the days of $5 games are long gone. I mean look how in depth this game is compared to UNO. It even looks more fun than those other games. Especially those games that were like $20, those weren't even fun to me. this is fun. I dont mind spending $10 for a game to have some fun on. Like NHL 3v3, thats fun!!

I am looking forward to all of these games. Its simple games like this that get the most play on XBLA. I mean look at UNO. Its been in the top 10 in play since it came out like over 2 years ago. Yahtzee is gonna rock!! I def wont mind scrabble or any of the others either. All these games and DLC sure make it nice having a 120 GB hdd.
