As If "Family Game Night" Wasn't a Scary Enough Idea...

That's right, EA's digitzing Connect Four (and five other Hasbro board games you may have heard of) for a Wii/PS2 game titled Hasbro Family Game Night -- another title harnessing user-created content creatively, this time in the form of large family arguments. Other than the classic versions of Battleship, Yahtzee, Connect Four, Sorry and Boggle packed onto the disc you also get a new version of Sorry, gastronomically titled "Sorry! Sliders" -- let's hope this doesn't involve Jerry O'Connell either.

According directly to the horse's mouth, "...families can enjoy familiar classic Hasbro board games or throw in a fun spin with new versions like Connect Four Power Chips, Boggle Portal Cubes, Reverse Yahtzee and Battleship Barrage – which add fresh dimensions and challenges to these legendary favorites." FRESH DIMENSIONS?! Well frankly, we're terrified by that statement. Can you imagine watching television and all of a sudden there was a fresh dimension? Would you just go into the erotic cakes store? Let's be honest: we all would.

GameStop has the title listed at $39.99 and $29.99 for the Wii and PS2 respectively, so it's got that going for it (which is nice.) Can you tell it's a rainy Friday with all the t.v. and movie references? See y'all later on in the roundup!
