Wordament now on A-N-D-R-O-I-D
Boggling puzzler Wordament spelled a path onto Android over the weekend, available now on Google Play for the inviting price of free. The Xbox Live-supported game came out on Windows 8, Windows Phone, and iOS last year, and the Android version syncs up with all of those to support cross-platform play. In each game, players get two minutes to score as many points as possible by making paths of letters across a grid to form words. At the end, leaderboards show how they rank against others playing the game, across the globe and the various platforms. If you're a good enough wordsmith, there's 50G worth of GamerScore up for grabs.
Microsoft brings Xbox Live rewards to Android with Wordament game
Microsoft's plan to supercharge Xbox as an entertainment brand means that, no matter which ecosystem you live in, you'll have access to some of the company's first-party titles. In the same way that Kinectimals came to Android and iOS, today's free-to-play launch of Wordament sees another proprietary feature opening up: Xbox Live Achievements. Anyone with at least an Android 4.0 handset and a few friends should now be able to add up to 50G to their Gamerscore. Meanwhile, Windows Phone users should be happy to see that their version of the app has been re-written for WP8, banishing those odd letterboxing issues forever.
Wordament hits iOS, complete with Xbox Live Achievements
Wordament, one of the first Xbox Live-enabled games Microsoft brought to Windows 8, is now available for free on iOS devices. The tournament-based word game connects to Xbox Live and is capable of cross-platform play, as it uses the same servers as the Windows 8 and Windows Phone versions.Wordament is a Boggle-style word finding game, and includes "frenemies" lists, stat tracking and global leaderboards. Additionally, players that log in to their Xbox Live accounts in the game can also earn up to 50 gamerpoints from the its 10 achievements.
