INTRODUCTION Like many households buying computer games are a considered purchase, so I tend to go for collections of games or those which offer long term playability and/or good multiplayer facilities. The main reason my mum and I had our games consoles in the first place was that we could play electronic versions of our favourite board games meaning no boards to lay out, minimal clearing up and no pieces going walkabouts. One of the games on my mum's wish list was Scrabble, and I was originally going to get the 2007 version for my mum's Christmas present on the year of release but nobody had it in stock at the time. Once I had acquired some Amazon vouchers, ...  Read the complete review

I'm a great lover of Scrabble, but unfortunately my husband hates the game so won't play against me! When I purchased my Nintendo DS just before Christmas, the first game I bought was Scrabble Interactive 2009 Edition that is suitable for ages 12 and upward.

I quite like a game of Scrabble every now and again, and when I got myself a DS Lite I decided it was a must-have addition to my newly formed games collection. I got it from Argos as part of a 2 for £30 deal, though I now see that quite a few shops have it on sale for only £10 including Play.com and Asda.

I really love how easy it is to play this game. To lay down a word on the board, I just have to select my letter and drag it onto the square I want it to go on, ...  Read the complete review

Everyone knows what scrabble is right? Well incase you dont.. its a letter tile and word game. With your letter tiles you make words on the scrabble board. In this DS version, you play against one opponents as you would in the normal board game and use your selected letter tiles to create a word on the board. As the board game you only ever have 7 tiles at a time and must create a word using those tiles. Each letter, which is already set has a set score and of course the longer your word the higher chance you may have of scoring a higher score. Nouns and more common letters will score you one point and letters such as Z have a higher score of 10. ...  Read the complete review
