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.

Attack! Fortify! Sadly, there aren’t many days where you can walk the streets yelling those words at the top of your lungs without being stopped soon by some “authority figures.” Draft! Attack! Fortify! But today is one of those days, because today I’m here to tell you about the dominatingly fresh version of RISK that’s now available for PC/Mac right here on PopCap.com!

RISK is of course the original game of strategy and world domination – I’m thinking almost everyone can remember a marathon session of RISK with friends (or one-time friends, ’cause sometimes friendships end after you come rumbling with your armies through Kamchatka). Draft! Attack! Fortify! With this digital version, you’ll uncover the classic look and fun of RISK in an exciting interactive experience. There are two ways to play as you strategize over the map and set out to conquer the world, either testing your power against computer enemies (which is nice as it gets you ready to take on our eventual computer overlords), or competing with friends in Hotseat multiplayer fashion. Draft! Attack! Fortify! But either way, you have to use strategic thinking and tactical gambles and earn a host of achievements as you take territory after territory trying to answer one big question: can you lead your army to victory? Draft! Attack! Fortify!
