Hold those GOTY lists USA, Merv Griffin's Crosswords out on Arcade


Merv Griffin's Crosswords?! Had we known our Game of the Year awards would have looked completely different! You guessed it, this week's Xbox Live Arcade release is Merv Griffin's Crosswords, the game that promises a thousand unique and challenging crossword puzzles in a fast-paced game show environment. Maybe we're showing our age but our idea of a good crossword includes a warm cup of coffee, a comfortable chair, a No.2 pencil and a fresh morning paper. Funnily enough, a giant HDTV, controller and Xbox Live support has never entered that equation. But, we are intrigued by the idea if only to see how small the text is on an SD television!

Strangest part of Merv Griffin's Crosswords? It's only available in the United States XBL Region! What does this game think it is, the Japanese Resident Evil 5 Demo?! Fire up those fake US accounts foreigners, we know you're dying to grab this one. Merv Griffin's Crosswords clocks in at 141 MB and costs 800MS points ... we have yet to confirm sightings of a zombie Merv Griffin.
