	<description><![CDATA[<p>Ok, I missed the point on last week&#39;s question, but I still stand by the answer of no.</p>
<p>I can&#39;t think if any board games that I once enjoyed that aren&#39;t alreay converted in some form, but more importantly the whole aspect of a board game is to bring people together.</p>
<p>I did use to enjoy Monopoly as a kid, and have even played a couple of the themed versions (since they have different random draw cards), but I had the pc version of Star Wars Monopoly.&#160; The animations of the characters moving about was cool... for about 1 trip round the board. Then you found the AI opponents started offering each property trades straight away to screw you over.&#160; Having to sit back while they proposed deals, and counter-proposed, it just got annoying.</p>
<p>For some reason it didn&#39;t flow either.&#160; When you have people sat next to you playing, you get absorbed into watching them squirm if they land on another player&#39;s property.&#160; The pc doesn&#39;t.&#160; It just dumps the money into your account and moves on.</p>
<p>Maybe if you are playing online, maybe with cameras like MSN games, it might change the perception, but it just ens up feeling like money wasted for me.</p>

	<description><![CDATA[This week is a hybrid of a "greatest hits" episode and a short news brief, we've got a couple stories, community comments and Don added a blooper "greatest hits" reel to the end of the episode, so enjoy! The news includes:
<ul>
	<li>Sony adding two new <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176426" target="_blank">Spaces to Home</a></li>
	<li><a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/6232564.html?part=rss&#38;tag=gs_news&#38;subj=6232564" target="_blank">Unreal engine</a> the "unofficial engine" of Natal</li>
</ul>
This week, we're still busting a question of the week as well and it's a thinker... if you had one novel to implement into a game (which has never been done), what novel would it be?
