Tonight I am reviewing a fairly new game entitled “Words with friends”. The first thing you should know about this game is that you are required to have an account, therefore you will need a valid email address.

At first it’s actually pretty confusing, I wasn’t sure what I was supposed to do, so naturally, like any guy, I just started pressing different buttons. I finally clicked, “create game” and it took me to another list where I picked “random opponent”.. ok..

I still have no idea how to play, but it seemingly looks a lot like “Scrabble” so I decide to play it like that. In turn, it is just like scrabble, now the interesting part about this game is that you’re playing against another live opponent so you can take your time during your turn, and then your opponent can take his time. So essentially the game could last forever.

This would be a decent game to play with a friend or loved one, but with a random stranger, who could post their move once a week, is not really for me.

Good graphics, pretty decent control, a little confusing to grasp at first, but overall a pretty decent game for the price. Keep in mind that you can’t actually play solo in this game, you are required to be connected online, either via your wifi or your carriers network.
