Classic Board Games Coming To Xbox Live Arcade

While the Xbox 360 still carries a wide range of games that parents might find objectionable for their small children to play the console is making definite steps towards being a family-friendly system. The more intuitive interface that accompanied the NXE was quite obviously an attempt to make households more likely to use the console as a media center.

If you get tired of dressing up your avatar or run out of things to watch on Netflix then you can get a friend or two gathered around your console for digital recreations of classic board game experiences. EA is bringing more games under the Hasbro Family Night banner to Xbox Live Arcade. They’re set to begin releasing in the Spring of this year, including classics like Boggle, Battleship, Yahtzee, Connect Four and Sorry. To keep things interesting there’ll be some new playing modes with mini-games, online play and achievements.
