Hasbro Family Game Night brings retro board games to the virtual world

Take it back to the old school...

NEWS: 16 May 2008 17:01 GMT by Verity Burns

You can't beat some of the retro favourite boardgames for a bit of nostalgia, and now Electronic Arts has brought them into the virtual world with Hasbro Family Game Night.

With a host none other than Mr. Potato Head, you can enjoy Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, Sorry! and the all new Sorry! Sliders on either Wii or PlayStation 2.

For a fun twist on the classic games, there are new versions you can choose to play, such as Connect Four Power Chips. However, if you want to stick to the originals - you can do that too.

Players can deck out their very own distinctive digital game room in by choosing a setting and adding earned trophies, cool furniture and decorations all themed to their favourite games.

Not only can players customize where they play, but also how they play. Hasbro Family Game Night features a party mode that gives players the option to build a custom party game by choosing their desired games, number of players and setting a time limit. Party mode mini-game challenges include Match the Pattern, Shake for Words and Bomb Run.

"We're giving families a new way to bond and play together", said Chip Lange, Vice President and General Manager of EA’s Casual Entertainment Label.

"Hasbro Family Game Night offers parents and their children a digital party experience full of classic brands they know and love. Between original and new rule settings, an easy-to-play party mode and a customizable game room feature, the variety and choice promise hours of fun family play."
