The movie trailer seems to have picked up a bit of interest, as it has since gone viral (other videos that went viral). The reason for this is because fans of the Battleship games will be interested to see how the filmmakers have been able to make the transition. We never review movies on here, but we do find it intriguing when movies like this come along. More often than not when a movie is based on a game, things turn out pretty bad, so why should it be any different this times round – although they were video games?

Not trying to go too much into things, we just want to say we should give the movie a chance. There are a few reasons why this could be a box office hit, the first is Rihanna, and the second Liam Neeson. The singer will draw in a huge crowd just because of her fanbase, and Neeson will have his very own following for different reasons. The director and producers behind the movie are not stupid, they have found the perfect balance, beauty and pure acting talent – no need to point out who has what.

As you would expect there has been a huge social reaction to the Hasbro game being made into a movie. ShockYa scowled through Twitter and found three great tweets, the first said, “Better than expected? First trailer for Battleship.” The second was “This is exactly what I always envisioned when I was playing the board game, exactly.” The third “Wait, there are aliens in BATTLESHIP? The giant naval power we’re using ships to battle is extraterrestrial? Did they not fly here?”

It is that final tweet that we found interesting, as she has a point. However, we have come to expect that humans will always prevail, unless you watched the final episode of the new series V that is.

To get you in the mood before the movie hits theaters next summer why not have a game of Battleships online. This is a long way from the paper and pencil version. The first step is to select a ship, then use the arrow keys to turn your ship, then finally select a position to deploy your ship. Have fun, but much better if you are able to play with a friend.

Who would have thought that Monopoly would still be going well today? However, the game has stayed relevant by all the different versions, which you can see listed here. A few that spring to mind are Star Wars, SpongeBob SquarePants, NFL and many more.

I have fond memories of playing the game, I have tried some of the new ones, such as with the electronic banker and the Google Maps and Street View version, but nothing compares to touching that toy money and throwing it at your opponents.

I cannot put a number on the amount of ties I have played Monopoly, but I can tell you that my record of winning is low. I am certain that you have some amazing memories of this great board game, so please share them with us. Which piece do you prefer to play with?
