nyx: monopoly

is this still monopoly?
In an attempt to appeal to a generation raised by video games, Hasbro's most recent release of the classic board game eliminates chance cards, dice, and the role of banker. Instead, players are kept honest by an all-knowing computer towering at the center of the board. Hasbro claims Monopoly Live will deliver on both the video and board game fronts, while still providing a social experience. Really? This new "improvement" really just appears to be a dumbed-down version of the classic game - skill is no longer necessary with a computer telling you your next move (like original monopoly wasn't monotonous enough).
