Today, Xbox LIVE Arcade isn’t getting one new game — it’s technically getting four.Hasbro Family Game Nightis merely a game launcher so to speak. It’s a hub that allows you to playScrabble,Connect 4,Battleship, andYahtzee, all of which launched today and run for 800 Microsoft Points a piece.
It’s somewhat hard to make out, but if you look close enough at the image above, you’ll noticeSorry!,Boggle, andSorry! Sliders. Those are being released “in the coming months,” so settle down there, Sherlock Jr.
All of the games under theHasbro Family Game Nightlabel will offer online and offline multiplayer modes, but I can’t quite figure out howBattleshipis going to work on one television. Any ideas?
Anyway, I think I would be more inclined to whip out my wallet had these games been bundled together and set at a lower overall price. Regardless, I’ll be shocked if we don’t seeHasbro Family Game Nightin the top ten XBLA activity list. For more specifics, gocheck out Conrad’s preview.
