EA's released four Hasbro family games on Xbox Live Arcade, including Scrabble and Connect 4.
Arcade Hasbro Family Game Night is up now on Xbox Live as a free download, but if you want to actually play any of the four titles - which also includes Battleships and Yahtzee - you'll have to pay 800 Microsoft Points for each (£6.80).
For the record, a proper Scrabble board is more like £15 - and you don't have to clean up afterwards in this one.
All Arcade games have been Xbox-ed up with party games, unlockable items, leaderboards, Ahcievements and a ton of extra modes.
Before you ask, online multiplayer for up to four people is also included, so you don't even have to go anywhere near your real family.
Wow, thats a rip-off, if this is meant to be aimed to young kids/familes, should be 400 at most, £7 per each of these is a joke, proberly as you can find the physical toys of them for less than that price.
800 points each for these is a bloody joke. I actually thought it was for all four at first and I thought that was just about right, but each? Who are the idiots buying these things!
I thought Braid was too expensive at 800 points when it was discounted, so theres no way Im buying connect 4 for £6.80.
400 points should be the average price of a game on XBLA, but sadly its become 800 and is getting closer to 1200 after so many games have charged outrageous prices.
Some of the community games are 800 for Gods sake! You can get Pixel Junk Monsters for £3.50 on PSN!
I am such a loyal xbox fan but I have downloaded teh 'free' game as it says and I KNEW there would be a catch! LOL 800 points for each game though! OMG....such a rip off.....that means 6 lots of 800 for the whole 'experience' as they will call it! lol They have to be having a laugh???? Right???
Scrabble online is a waste of time. Can you imagine everyone sat at home with their electronic dictionaries?...
Nothing beats Walkers new 'Cajun Squirrel' flavoured crisps in the pointless stakes though... How did they get away with that? I remember Hedgehog crisps getting banned in the 80's!
