Battleship? It’s for cowards. And small children. Grown-ups play Battleshots, which substitutes plastic pegs for boats full of booze. More »

Imagine A World Of Battleships (Minus Kevin Costner)

2:50AM August 17, 2011 | Joel Johnson

From the maker of World of Tanks comes World of Battleships, a free-to-play PC game that will allow players to smack each other around using giant action battleships. Although there are few details on release dates, my gut is telling me we’ll see this sooner than later with the same sort of approachable gameplay that World of Tanks and World of Warplanes brings to the table.

EA Brings Back Family Game Night

12:00AM May 17, 2008 | Mike Fahey

Back when I was growing up, just about every family I knew had a closet full of tattered board games, ready at a moment’s notice should said family come dangerously close to just quietly sitting and enjoying each other’s company. Now EA introduces the 21st century version of said dusty closet, Hasbro Family Game Night for the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 2.

The title contains a nice selection of six big-name board game favourites – Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, Sorry!, and the all-new Sorry! Sliders, each with its own twist for fresh gameplay. Connect Four gets power chips, Bobble gets portal cubes, etc. As a special added bonus, each game is hosted by Mr. Potato Head. Apparently we needed a host, and he was available.

If you ever wanted to get you parents into gaming, Hasbro Family Game Night will probably be your best chance when it comes out this Fall.

Hasbro Signs Film Deal – Monopoly The Movie?

11:02AM February 21, 2008 | Mike Fahey

Hasbro and Universal pictures today announced the formation of a six-year strategic partnership to produce movies based on the toy company’s most popular brands. You know what? Just read it yourself. It’s pretty short. Hasbro Inc. (HAS) and Universal Pictures formed a six-year strategic partnership to produce at least four motion pictures based on brands such as Monopoly, Candy Land, Ouija, Battleship, Magic, the Gathering and Stretch Armstrong.

I’d say I was completely shitting you if not for the fact that I just blockquoted their official release right there. Stretch Armstrong? Magic: The Gathering? Monopoly the Movie? I can already hear the actors viciously fighting over who gets to be the race car. We’re so doomed. Luckily the first film won’t be released until 2010 or 2011, which is plenty of time for us to dig very large holes to hide in.
