Also arriving this week is Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm, which aims to deliver ten levels of action-puzzle ultra violence. Happy Tree Friends costs 800 MS Points ($10) and is rated "M," obviously. Ticket to Ride is rated "E," by the way, unless you use the Vision cam ... then an "AO" happening is never far behind.

...you could play it on Xbox life...or you could play it for free on the Days of Wonder website...or even better yet just buy it. Board games are the best.

Er, um, don't you need to buy Ticket to Ride ($30) to play "free" online?

Nope, you need to buy it to be a game host online. You can have a free account without the game. Same with the Carcassone website.

I love Ticket to Ride. I hope the adaptation does the game justice.

Cool, love the Euro/German games. Now if they would just do Power Grid, since I've recently gotten addicted to that (Thanks Joystiq, your Off the Grid column helped).

I'm just waiting for Agricola to come out in the US. A computerized version of Shogun would be sweet though, because sometimes it sucks to try and keep track of everything manually.

Nice. Germany should change its official language to Orcish.

"Zug Um Zug" is the German name for Ticket To Ride. Things tend to sound different in German than in English

Yes, I know. I made what's known as "a joke" in English.

360 costs $50/yr to play online. Plus, you need to buy a $300 Xbox 360 to play it in the first place

Yes, and? You don't really get PSN "for free" - they just force developers to use their own servers, which is why PS3 has so many online problems. And when PSN goes down, well, you can't complain - you're not paying for it. It's (cough) free.
Little hint, kiddies: there's no such thing as a free lunch.
(PS. I can afford $4 per month.)

PS. You're a moron, since YOU DON'T NEED A GOLD SUBSCRIPTION TO BUY GAMES.

1) Why the hell do I care what's on the PSN and PS3?
2) You still need a gold subscription to play online multiplayer don't you?
