And that means you’re out there in the retail trenches, trying to decide what to get for Pops, or a random auntie, or even a kid you might like to have sit down and hang out with you for a while. Or, you’re just looking for yourself (hey, everyone does it). Well, here’s an idea: bring the gift list in line with one of the new Hasbro classic game bundles, which PopCap helped create for PC and Mac. There are two combo-packs-of-awesomeness out now for you: one that combines Monopoly and The Game of Life and one that combines Risk and Battleship, and all are filled with the memorable fun you’d expect from these legendary games. You can find the packs for PC/MAC at most stores, including Walmart and Target, which you may have heard of. The games are a great way to bring back those nights spent with family and pals in a little friendly competition – though this time, you’ll need a computer.

PS: Want to download individual versions of some of the games or try them out for free? Well, you can do that too, right here on the ol’ PopCap.com site. Just check out the individual pages for: Monopoly, The Game of Life, and Risk.

And yes, I did just say that). We’re as excited as anyone passing GO to announce that the freshest electronical version of MONOPOLY is here now and available for you to play on your PC right this instant. Or after you download it (and soon, very soon, it’ll be available for MACs, too).

In the manner of the classic game, you can buy, sell and trade your way to a fortune via properties from the inexpensive Baltic Avenue to big bubbly Boardwalk, railroads (for those hobos among us), under-appreciated utilities, Chance and Community Chest cards, luck, and more. But in this modern iteration of the game, you’ll also get to enjoy fun animated tokens, 3-D dice, customized game environments and up to three levels of difficulty. And you can try it for free. Are you ready to own it all? If not, then maybe this video will entice you to real estate excellence:

Just remember to stay out of jail!
