Bookworm Adventures

I played this game with my whole family and we really enjoyed it but it is quite hard – you’ve got to get some longer words to beat the harder enemies instead of lots of four and five letter ones. Apparently the game’s budget was $700,000 (seems a bit much, good as it is) and it took over 2 years to develop. It sells for $29.95, which is a higher price than most other casual games, which are $19.95. However, if you like the game, it’s definitely worth it, in my opinion. Perhaps we will be seeing more big-budget downloadable games with higher prices in the near future - this one is kind of paving the way…

So, there you have it - one perfectly formed, endlessly absorbing, regularly amusing word game. If you're looking for some brainial stimulation, find logic puzzles like Sudoku and Slitherlink a trifle soulless, and have a nasty 'untreatable' case of leprosy or beriberi, then I really can't recommend Bookworm Adventures enough.

If you're a word puzzle fan, Bookworm Adventures is a must play, thanks to the fact that it ingeniously blends into the realm of a RPG perfectly. Even if you aren't generally a fan of word puzzle games, if you open up and give the game a chance, you just might come away mightily impressed. Whether you're an adult passing the time at work or trying to find a fun and educational game your child would want to play, Bookworm Adventures seems like a sure winner.
