    WordsWorth Review

    By

    I think word games appeal to a special segment of the gaming population. Maybe you're an avid reader and you love books. Maybe you make a living from some form of writing like public relations, journalism, advertising or law. Or maybe you've just always loved the challenge that comes from forming words out of a random set of letters. They're not for everyone, that's for sure. But for those of us who are word-addicts, games like WordsWorth can be very entertaining little diversions

    Million Dollar Password 2009 Edition Review

    By

    Ever since Regis Philbin brought game shows back from the brink of extinction with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, networks have been mining the vaults of yesteryear, updating old shows with fresh coats of paint and, of course, significantly larger prize purses. Case in point: Million Dollar Password, co-incidentally hosted by Regis Philbin. Unlike the show from the 1960s, this one is fast-paced, tension-filled, and extra flashy. The PC game version, Million Dollar Password 2009 Edition, is no different, but thankfully, like the game show, the great fun is timeless.

    Cold weather has finally arrived in Texas and I love it as I stay cozy inside with a warm blanket, peppermint mocha coffee and a holiday game to wrap me in lovely holiday spirit. None other than St. Nicholas plays host - a Christmas version of Alex Trebek - in the Christmas trivia game Quizmas in Lapland.The trivia game has two types: single player or multiplayer with up to three players. Both come with a mode called In-a-Row, and multiplayer mode also has 3 Lights mode and first to 10.

    Text Twist 2 Review

    By

    A sequel to one of the most popular (and most often imitated) word games of all time, Text Twist 2 introduces some new modes to its simple yet addictive gameplay formula, but it's not enough to keep the title from feeling strangely barebones.The premise is simple: at the beginning of each round you're given a set of letters (six, seven or eight depending on which setting you've chosen) and you have to make as many words out of those letters as possible within the two-minute time limit. Words that contain every available letter are called BINGOs, and you must score at least one BINGO per round to advance to the next one.

    If you've ever tried to feed a fussy toddler, you know that nothing works better than bribes and distractions. That's the premise of Fussy Freddy, an entertaining word game that has you dishing up letters and solving riddles in a bowl of alphabet soup.Word Krispies has done the "word game in a food bowl" theme before, but Fussy Freddy adds a bunch of new twists that make it fun for experienced wordies and newbies alike.

    Dam Beavers Review

    By

    Dam Beavers is a study in unfulfilled potential. Great word games don't come along very often - it's tricky to make a game that provides an interesting challenge to word lovers while still being accessible to those with less extensive vocabularies - but Dam Beavers might have been such a game if not for a few fatal flaws.

    PictoWords Review

    By

    Although we don't see as many word games as we see hidden object or match-three, they're still among some of the most popular games with casual gamers. Yet strangely enough, there's a real gap in new word game concepts, with few daring to venture beyond the framework of Boggle. If you've already played most of the best, you might be feeling a bit... bored. Well, PictoWords takes up the challenges and puts forth something different in the word game genre.Remember the game show Classic Concentration? It aired from 1987-1991, hosted by Jeopardy's Alex Trebek. The concept is very similar. PictoWord is a word game that uses puzzles made up of a combination of pictures and letters.
