Jim Squires is the Editor-in-Chief of Gamezebo. Everything you see passes his eyes first, so we like to think of him as "the gatekeeper of cool stuff." He likes good games, great writing, and just can't say no to a hamburger. Also, he is not a bear.

    While the announcement of the OUYA was just mere days ago, the device has already stirred up a flurry of commentary from industry watchers and consumers alike.  In fact, the $99 Android-powered console might just be the most polarizing tech topic since the reveal of the iPad.  The OUYA may have plenty of naysayers - including some of my fellow writers here at Gamezebo - but I'm just having a hard time seeing the downside of free-to-play games in my living room.

    Crossword games.  They're over with, right?  Everything's a variation on Scrabble, and it's all been done to death before.  Place the tiles, collect the points, and hope your verbosity can best that of your opponent.  But what if crossword games didn't have to be like that?  What if they could be less about the words you spell, and more about how you could squash your opponent with a single well placed "S" or "ED"?  Welcome to the world of Wordox.
