Poor Android, all alone.Īlthough always secondary in a word based game, the design and presentation of Wordament really is a cut above the competition, incorporating Metro to create a very neat, stylised and intuitively easy to use interface. From there it became a launch title for Windows 8 and now it has been ported to iOS. Put simply, it’s a Boggle clone and was actually released a while ago as a non-Xbox LIVE game on Windows Phone before quickly becoming one of the most popular games in the marketplace, at which point Microsoft asked the developers to convert it to a free, ad-supported Xbox LIVE title. Wordament is the first Xbox LIVE enabled game with achievements to be released on iOS, and as it is already on Windows Phone and Windows 8 it is becoming something of a flagship 'free Xbox LIVE' title for Microsoft. I hope this is the first of more achievement related games to come out for the I-phone. Overall, I found this game to be addictive and kept playing, "Just one more round." It is fun to play, the price can't get any lower, and the achievements are easy to earn. I would have to turn off my phone and turn it back on to get the game to load. The failure to load left me staring at a blank blue screen similar to Microsoft's "Blue screen of death" when your desktop crashes. The game made me laugh when it admonished me by pointing out that I was guessing. I picked spanish and was randomly trying to create words. One achievement requies you to switch languages and create a word in that language. A great feature of the game is that it shows you all of the words you found next to the list of possible words. You get "star" or bonus points for finding theme words.Īt the end of a round, your score is ranked against other players. For example, if the theme is "Babies" it clues you in to look for words related to babies, such as: crying, or bottle. The game tells how many possible words can be found and awards you points based upon the length of word or letters used. You have a 4x4 board with randomly placed letters and have to find as many words as you can before time runs out. The game is free and has 50 gamerscore to be earned. This is the first game with achievements to be published for the IOS or I-phone. I have been a member of this site for about nine months and thought this would be a good time to contribute.
