Here's the thing about Battleship: You can cheat. I can't say that I never did it -- cheat, I mean. Look, with some quick movements and a carefully placed diversion, you could even move a ship. Did you always find yourself losing at Battleship? If so, you didn't cheat enough. Making it a videogame fixes that. Kind of.
Battleship and other Hasbro games are the Deal of the Week on Xbox Live Arcade. It joins Connect 4, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Boggle and Sorry Sliders in a temporary price cut, down from 800 Microsoft Points to 400. Scrabble is a worthwhile investment, I'd say.
You may want to hold out for the Hasbro collection, which GameStop says is coming in November.

fun fact: cheating at Battleship causes cancer
Scrabble on hasbro games is'nt available in europe ;_;
Please keep your Americanism journalism out of my world wide web. seeing as it doesn't effect most of the world.
Simply say "in America" like when you report stories from elsewhere in the world perhaps?
BTW - I'm only angry because you get Scrabble in the USA and we can't have it in the UK :( I believe this is to do with Hasbro owning the copyright in the USA and Mattel in the UK. I;m gutted as I'd love to play it - seeing as we invented the bloody English language to start with!!!!!!!1111111oneoneelventyone.
