We all remember those long car journeys to distant relatives, and how there was absolutely nothing to pass the time in the back seat. Unless you had one of those travel pack games, which was a nuisance as every time the car drove over a wobbly road, your mini game of Monopoly went down the pan.

Now there's the benefit of playing these classic travel board games on something much more convenient - a Nintendo DS. In Hasbro Family Game Night (or Family Game Car Journey, it's up to you), you get to play a selection of board games, hosted by none other than Mr. Potato Head.

The games on offer include family favourites like Connect 4, Battleship, Operation and Bop-It, and are specially designed for quick and accessible play on the go. You can play these games in Original Mode, which plays by traditional rules and settings, or in a variety of new and interesting modes that modernise the games while still being faithful to the classic.

If you have a friend with a Nintendo DS, the fun can continue through multiplayer, with a full-on wireless mode for those with a copy of the game and a special single-cart download play mode too. Unlock trophies and new environments as you play through these timeless games, and ensure that future car journeys are never so dull again. << less
