Hasbro Twister Dance Review & Flash Giveaway

Do you enjoy playing the classic Twister game? Do you love to dance? Now you can easily combine the two in one single game: Twister Dance, Hasbro's latest release featuring a custom remix of "Till The World Ends" by pop star Britney Spears. The game is on Kmart's annual Fab 15 toy list!

Twister Dance provides a new, fun way to learn hot dance moves via a dance console with multi-color LED lights, 8 iconic Twister spots powered by beat detection technology, and 5 pre-programmed songs performed by today's top artists:

• "Till the World Ends," TWISTER REMIX, performed by Britney Spears
• "Whip My Hair," performed by Willow Smith
• "We R Who We R," performed by Ke$ha
• "Cupid Shuffle," performed by Cupid
• And an exclusive track "Caught Up in a Twister."

To play, simply follow the lights on the dance console to place your feet on the spots with corresponding colors. You can choose among 3 levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced. Dancers are also encouraged to show off their individual style by improvising arm and hand movements. With a little practice, you can rock the spots like Britney Spears in her music video!

My favorite feature of Twister Dance is that it allows you to connect your own mp3 player to the console and dance to your favorite songs. It also makes it easy to keep your game updated with what's hot and trendy. The console alone functions as a quality speaker. You can get a copy of the game at online and offline retailers nationwide for $34.99. Do you have a child ages 8-16 who's got the moves to rock the spots? Upload her video to RocktheSpots.com by October 24 and get a chance to be part of Brittany's new video and to win $10,000!

Hasbro has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a copy of Twister Dance game valued at $34.99! The game can be played solo or with company. It's a game the whole family can enjoy!

Simon Flash by Hasbro Review & Giveaway

The classic game of Simon has gotten a high-tech facelift from Hasbro, with its traditional round, console design being transformed into four sleek, freestanding electronic game tiles that players slide, shuffle and swap at Simon's command. The all-new Simon Flash includes not just one but four engaging, fast-pace games:

• Simon Classic: correctly repeat the growing sequence of colored lights;
• Simon Shuffle: the lights shuffle after a pattern of colors is revealed in a flash and players have to line up the tiles in the original order.
• Simon Lights Off: shuffle the tiles until all the lights turn off. You only have 90 seconds to complete the challenge!
• Simon Secret Color: keep rearranging the tiles until they all light up as the same color.

Utilizing "Wonder-Link" technology, Simon Flash cleverly remembers each player's moves and keeps track of scores. While kids are fascinated by the lights, sounds, colors, and hands-on action of the game, they also get to practice their speed, memory and logic through active play. Although the game is designed for children aged 8 and up, I think it's also fun to play for both younger kids and adults.

Another neat feature of Simon Flash is that it comes in a convenient travel case, perfect for on-the-go play! Eight AAA batteries are also included to power the electric tiles, which automatically shut off if not in use for more than three minutes. You can get your own copy of the new game at mass merchandise retailers nationwide for only $29.99.

Hasbro has generously offered to give one of my lucky readers a copy of Simon Flash valued at $29.99!

Monopoly: Electronic Banking Edition Review & Giveaway

~~The giveaway is CLOSED. Congrats to winner Leslie!~~

Monopoly has been a classic board game loved by players all over the world. We're often reluctant to leave the game board even after playing Monopoly for hours on end during family game nights. The game is not only entertaining but also teaches children about some basic economic concepts and financial management strategies.

Now the game gets a significant upgrade in its latest version--Monopoly: Electronic Banking Edition. With the addition of a bank card, the new game reflects how the real world uses money, i.e. electronic transactions. Monopoly's new banking card system allows players to buy property, pay bills and collect debts with the simple swipe of a bank card! Monopoly: Electronic Banking Edition comes with a game board, a battery-powered electronic Banker Unit, 6 tokens, 28 title deed cards, 16 chance cards, 16 community chest cards, 6 Monopoly bank cards, 32 houses, 12 hotels, and 2 dice.

I was provided with a copy of the new game for review. It's very easy to handle if you are familiar with the classic version, as the basic rules remain the same. I love that a modern twist has been added to all the game pieces. For instance, property values have raised significantly to reflect changes over time; utilities are Internet service providers and cell phone services; airports replace railways; and identity theft could put you into jail while a computer virus infection could cost you a fortune. The upgraded game is so much more fun to play!

You can get your own Monopoly: Electronic Banking Edition at mass merchandise retailers nationwide for only $24.99.

Family Game Night 3 Wii Game Review

Hasbro Family Game Night 3 is the latest addition to the Hasbro Family Game Night video game collection from EA. Available on Wii, Xbox360, and PS3, it brings hours of family fun with 5 family favorite Hasbro games: Game of Life, Clue, Twister, Mouse Trap, and Yahtzee Hands Down.

I was given the opportunity to review the Family Game Night 3 Wii Game. We had a blast playing the games during our family gatherings. Even before the games started, my son got really excited at the sight of Mr Potato Head and the colorful them park that welcomes players to the gameland.

Each of the five games comes in two versions: original and remix, and offers multiplayer capability for up to four players. Even the original versions, however, have interesting variations from the traditional board games that we are familiar with. Clue has been our family's favorite board game. The Clue game in Family Game Night 3 adds several small games as extra steps to getting a clue. You no longer need to take notes or memorize all the clues, the game will do it for you automatically. I love the graphics and the secret passages to be discovered during gameplay. I did find cracking the case less challenging than playing the board game.

I really love the Mouse Trap game in this package. It's so much fun building the mouse trap and trying to trick your opponent. My son's favorite is the Game of Life. Although he can't read everything on the screen, it's very easy for him to grasp how to spin the wheel and make choices. He is amused by the baby crying, car running backwards and audience cheering at his achievements. I'm not very good at playing the other two games: Twister and Yahtzee Hands Down, but my husband loves the card game.

With 5 games in one package, Family Game Night 3 is great for players of all ages and for the entire family. It has a SRP of $39.95 and can be purchased online and offline at retailers like Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Toys "R" Us.
