A fantastic game that I would recommend, despite the lack of advanced settings and co-op :)

The demo is time limited, so you’ve got one hour to get as far as you can before the game is permanently disable.

It’s a very neat game, and I also prefer it to Peggle. I realize that people say that Peggle only really kicks in once you’re done with Adventure mode, and I’m not. But..honestly, not hooked enough to. The only real spelling RPG I’ve seen.

The dictionary *is* slightly odd, though.

I seem to have downloaded the full version, for free. It’s 4am though, so I could be wrong.

This game has some of the most satisfying kills in any game ever. Finish off with a good word and you get a slow motion zoom to the final blow with the above mentioned booming voice.

If I hadn’t played Portal this game would have the funniest ending of any game ever. As it is, it’s a near thing.

Strangely, the game’s dictionary doesn’t recognise “Whore” or “Whores”, but “Whoreson” is perfectly fine.

I just very recently convinced my Grandmother to buy this game, the first she has ever bought, for her creaking computer she only uses for email and looking up cooking recipies.

She’s installed Steam, is messaging me over the community chat and recently had a Bookworm Adventures party with her friends. It is, in her words, “absolutely wonderful, the best game ever”. And you can’t get fairer than that.

For me, the only flaw in this game is the lament of the main character when you attempt to exit the game, imploring you not to leave with tears in its gigantic bespectacled eyes.

It’s so uncomfortably close to my last break up it gives me the fear.

My fondest memories this summer involved playing this game with my roommate and my girlfriend. These sessions usually devolved into us screaming “Xenu!” when we weren’t able to find a word of merit.
