Electronic Arts is going casual gaming mad this year with the release of a number of titles that come under the Hasbro Family Game Night banner.

Due for release on Xbox live Arcade games such as as Boggle, Battleship, Yahtzee, Connect Four, Sorry! and Sorry! Sliders will begin to roll out in Spring 2009. It's believed that the titles will also be available for the Playstation Network later in the year.

“We’ve been given the unique opportunity to create an exclusive EA Hasbro branded destination within the Xbox LIVE Arcade so players can easily find and play our lineup family-friendly digital board games. Just as families have game closets in their home, they will also be able to stock a digital game closet serving up hours of interactive play for kids and adults alike,”said Chip Lange, General Manager of EA Hasbro.

All games will feature both original and new ways to play, including a Party Mode that features multiple mini-game versions of each title. Additional customisation features will allow players to earn virtual trophies, furniture and themes to decorate their personal virtual game rooms. The Hasbro Family Game Night lineup will take full advantage of Xbox live community features such as online play, Achievements, the ability to launch new games without leaving the environment, and sharing customised space with friends.
