The idea of plants and zombies buying real estate is ridiculous… but then so is the idea of anyone under 30 buying real estate in 2017. So, who am I to judge, really? Let the zombies and plants live out their wild fantasies. Even an intrepid adventurer like Nate Drake needs some downtime once in a while. Did you know? His favourite game is Monopoly*, and here you go, you can play his favourite game themed after the one and only.

Ubisoft+ launches on Xbox with cross-platform Multi Access

brands, products in thousands of categories from hundreds of retailers to give you reliable purchasing advice.This is a different proposition to the Ubisoft+ Classics catalogue that is included with PlayStation Plus Extra subscriptions. Wanna own most of Hyrule? Now you can! The only bugbear? The money is still paper, and everyone knows that Rupees aren’t made of paper. Fancy buying up all thee landmarks from the various Assassin’s Creed games over the years? You could own Abstergo (which is a dark blue one, obviously), or even Arno’s Villa from Unity. Maybe even Ezio’s old playground of Monteriggioni? As if Skyrim wasn’t already on enough formats – 3,593 at last count – it’s also just launched on Board Game. It’s got realistic HD graphics, but it’s a bit watered-down compared to other versions of the game – there’s not much to it other than buying property and trying to avoid jail. Yay, Sonic in a board game! Okay, so a game of Monopoly is probably not quite as fast-paced as Sega intended Sonic to be, but it’s guaranteed to be infinitely more enjoyable than Sonic Forces was.

I imagine if a nuclear fallout did happen, and we all ended up spending our days in underground vaults, Monopoly would become a whole lot more popular. Let’s face it, our PS4s and Xbox Ones wouldn’t be much use without an internet connection, and the vault’s Overseer probably wouldn’t be keen on us using all the generated electricity for such frivolities anyway. So here’s Fallout Monopoly, to prepare you for that inevitable nuclear disaster. For gamers who don’t find their Monopoly orc-y enough, there’s a World of Warcraft version. The ‘hotel’ pieces have been replaced with castles too, for a more olde-world-y feel. I have no idea why you’d want this, but it’s a thing that exists, so obviously someone, somewhere does.

As far as I can tell, Pokémon Monopoly is basically a glimpse into the future of video games, where Pokémon will no longer be caught, but simply paid for whenever you come across them. It’s the board game version of the microtransaction. But it’s Pokémon so we don’t care – and those player pieces are awesome. I wanna be Squirtle. Truth be told, this one seems a bit of a cop-out. I mean, Syndicate is set in London, as is the standard UK version of Monopoly. It means that some of the squares aren’t even any different to what they would be normally, and others have only been changed for the sake of it. You could play regular Monopoly and it be just as Assassin’s Creed Syndicate themed. But hey, this one looks cooler, I suppose. This Nintendo version of Monopoly is the actual game, unlike the Gamer edition. But rather than buying up locations and properties, you seemingly come to own popular Nintendo franchise characters. It seems a bit… wrong if you ask me. Obviously, Mario and Luigi are the most expensive, residing on the dark blue squares. Poor Wario and Waluigi get the brown ones.
