Game changers as apps rolled out across the board
The popular social gaming apps that we’ve all been playing this year will be gracing our households this Christmas in the form of Board Games, according to the Mega-Store Toy giants Toys “R” US.
Apps such as Angry Birds, City Ville, and Words With Friends, have been hugely popular with children and grown-ups alike.
Angry Birds has been the fastest selling app in the world, with more than one billion downloads across all platforms.
Mike Coogan, E-Commerce and Marketing Director at Toys “R” US said: “Online gaming apps are massive and the toy industry has been able to identify merchandise which can replicate the popularity of the apps but in traditional format.

"These Board Games are perfect examples of the diversity that we are working with.”
Other games on the Toys “R” US top 10 sellers list are classic children games such as Hungry Hippos, Elefun, Operation and Twister Dance.
The last being a reinvention of the classic Twister game that appears as the upbeat move to the groove 2-in-1 dance DJ console with music, lights and sounds incorporated with the classic ten non-slip dance spots.
Mike Coogan believes that it is these reinvented new games that will replace the popular game consoles like PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii and will hopefully “be just the ticket to bring the family back together this Christmas.”

“@Jezer, it'd be hard to play the games described in this article without speaking to real people!! These games don't involve computers and you play them with the people in the same room as you, in the same way as we've played games for centuries...”

“Well, I will take your word for it, but I would still prefer to speak to real people.”

“@Jezer, read the article again. The described games (even Twister Dance) are all non-computer games, some of which have actually been spun off from computer based games.”

“So, sitting in front of a computer will bring families together over xmas? Whatever happened to conversation and proper games?”
