Family game night is alive and well if you belive all those Hasbro commercials. EA is doing its part for family hgame night with a a new game that gives you all those Hasbro classics without the encumbrances of bits, baubles, figures, paper money, tiles and boards. That game, hitting stores today is Hasbro Family Game Night and it’s available for the PS2 and Wii.

The video game combines six family board games including Connect Four, Boggle, Yahtzee, Battleship, Sorry!, and the all-new Sorry! Sliders (with Mr. Potato Head as the host). The wii version features four player multiplay, customizable enviornments, and party modes with mini-games.

I’m guessing this game isn’t exactly for Hasbro purists, but what can you do, right? Look for it in stores this week.
