Why is Words With Friends worth downloading?

If you love playing on your Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo console, then you are sure to own a portable console, or have plenty of fun applications on your phone to amuse yourself when you are on the go. But games can be made even more fun when you are playing against your friends.

Some phone applications require an internet connection. This allows you to go online and play against your friends, or other online gamers. So if you have a contract with a network like O2 or Three, and you have installed the unlimited internet bundle, you might be interested in reading all about the fun online game, Words With Friends, which has become popular worldwide.

Words With Friends

If you like Scrabble, then this is the perfect game for you. This free application allows you to play against your friends on a virtual Scrabble board. Just like the classic board game, each letter has a different score value and bonus points can be gained by placing words over a double or triple letter square. In addition, you can switch the board over to the chat panel which allows you to interact with your opponent during the game.

Words With Friends also has a link with Facebook; you simply click on the ‘F’ icon which will display the friends who are online and ready to play.

The funny thing about this game is that a number of bizarre words are accepted, such as AZ or QI, and if they are placed on a special scoring square, you can earn many bonus points. Alec Baldwin, star of the hit US comedy 30 Rock, was recently kicked off an aeroplane after he was told numerous times by staff to stop playing the game after phones were asked to be switched off. It really is that fun!

Collectibles: BioShock 2 Special Edition

I’m definitely a sucker for overpriced special editions of games, so I had to get my hands on the BioShock 2 Special Edition being the fan that I am. Not sure if it’s worth the $100 I paid for it, but it’s still a pretty nice addition to my collection.

Collectibles: BioShock 2 Subject Delta Plush Doll

Once again I return from Rapture to present another amazing addition to my collection, the BioShock 2 Subject Delta Plush Doll. The Subject Delta Plush doll is very similar to the Big Daddy Plush Doll, same body, but different features on the head. There’s a watch to portray the helmet and shoelaces coming out the sides of the helmet connecting to the tank. Same corkscrew arm and same tank made from a bottle cap, nail, and round block on the back. Now I just need to get my hands on one of those Splicer masks…

Collectibles: BioShock 2 Big Daddy Plush Doll

Another addition to my BioShock collection has finally arrived, the Big Daddy Plush Doll. I have to say, when I ordered the plush doll, I expected nothing more than a completely stuffed doll. So I was quite surprised, when I opened the box and saw the level of detail that was put into this plush doll. The head is actually a rubber ball, not stuffed and feels like a real baseball, even the thimble arm with the corkscrew attached looks and feels real. The legs and head all rotate and the arms made from real rope. I have to say, I’m very happy with this addition to my collection.

Collectibles: BioShock 2 Replica Eve Hypo Syringe

I’m a sucker for video game collectibles, especially if they have anything to do with Fallout 3 or BioShock, when I found out there were plenty of BioShock 2 collectibles to add to my collection, I began draining my bank account.

The latest addition to my collection is a Replica Eve Hypo Syringe. I’m now ready to blast some eve into my veins and run around terrorizing my neighborhood with bolts of electricity. The Eve Hypo Syringe is quite nice, made by the fine folks at NECA, this collectible is an excellent addition to my collection, though it’s not made of metal like I thought it would be, but it’s still well made. One of my favorite features about it is, it lights up blue like the ones in the game. If you’re a fan of BioShock like myself, then this is a must have for your collection.

WP7 Xbox LIVE Deal of the Week: Beards & Beaks

I purchased a WP7 awhile back for only one purpose in mind, gaming. I have a terrible achievement addiction, so when they announced that I could get achievements on the go, I knew I had to get one. Since most of the games are pretty ridiculously over priced, I really only buy the games that are on sale each week. So I decided to start posting the new deal every Wednesday so anyone that wants to save a buck or two can get in on the fun.

This week’s WP7 Xbox LIVE deal of the week is: Beards & Beaks for $1.99, that’s a $1 off of the regular price. Beards and Beaks is an action-strategy game where your objective is to flick your gnomes towards treasures to get them before the crows beat you to it.
