Just saw a commercial and had to check this out. They've made new versions of some old standbys, Monopoly, Connect 4, Sorry, Battleship and Mousetrap, which appears to be combined with a Lego approach. You build the pieces and/or the board and then play the game, so it's always different. Looks like something for DS's 8th birthday that's coming up! Anyone have them yet?

We have a Lego game but none of these. We have http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Games-45...-and-games&qid=1281924735&sr=8-5 and my DS (5) really likes it. I think I'll get one of the bigger ones for his birthday.

my husband and I saw these the other night and both laughed as to how they could get away with what seems like such a blatant knock off of legos. They look interesting though.

My DS7 LOVES the new Lego games that have been released - we have every one of them and he really enjoys them. We picked one up at a Lego store that was a Harry Potter game that we have not seen anywhere else. The super cool part is that they show you one way to play each of the games and then after that they give you a handful of completely different ways to play the same game and then the part I love is that they give you free range with suggestions as to how to completely change the game around to how you want to set it up to play. They are pretty cool
