Folks I know its not Wednesday, but I'm going to blame my video game addiction for not writing this one up yesterday. For those of you you can't get enough Mahjong at home, now you can get it on your 360. FunTown Mahjong doesn't appear to be anything more than a version of Mahjong for the 360 so you can play across live and has a tutorial attached to it to help you learn how to play.

I personally enjoy Mahjong, but this release doesn't appear to be anything more than a niche game for those who really enjoy playing. At the standard 800 Microsoft points, this will probably be one I will avoid until it drops in price.
