Ryan Rigney of Cinemablend.com's game blog tells why he thinks that much of the content on Xbox Live Marketplace is overpriced or presented in an undesirable way. Will these trends continue?

You see, the core of Hasbro Family Game Night, the "game room," comes as a free download. Each of the six available games in the package (Battleship, Yahtzee, Boggle, Connect Four, Sorry!, Sorry! Sliders, and Scrabble, once all the games are released) cost 800 Microsoft space-bucks, or ten (failing) American dollars. As I looked at my TV and considered the prices, it became apparent to me that NONE of the games were really worth $10. Ten dead presidents for Connect Four? Nah. An entire Hamilton for Boggle? Pass.

    I agree that the small little add-ons that you can download for games are overpriced, but I believe the arcade games and Xbox Originals are generally priced correctly.

    It's kind of funny how he mentions all those Hasbro games as being overpriced, considering they cost even more for the real life versions of the games.
