WordWars Now on TotalGaming.net

New combat word game offers proof that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Plymouth, MI- (October 6, 2005) – Stardock Entertainment has announced the addition of the puzzle game WordWars to its online game distribution system, TotalGaming.net.

WordWars is the world’s most violent word game. Imagine the old favorite board and tile-based word game with the full alphabet and blank tiles that act as wildcards. Now add two more "blank" tiles: the bomb tile, and the poison tile. When an opponent plays off of a bomb tile, it explodes...and takes any adjacent enemy tiles with it. If the enemy has a lot of contiguous tiles, the effect can sweep across the entire game board with frightening results for them. Each explosion hurts your opponent, which is the fundamental difference between WordWars and other word games: there is no score - it's a fight to the death.

Developed by Atomic Monks, WordWars features several dictionary sets for players of different skill levels. Dictionaries are customizable so players can add or remove words. The game also offers skinnable game maps and tiles, plus plenty of challenging gameplay with numerous secret "power" words.

WordWars can be purchased for $14.95 standalone or through a TotalGaming.net membership at the discounted price of 1 token ($6.99 equivalent).

Minimum System Requirements: Windows 98/Me/2K/XP, 500 MHz Processor, 64MB RAM, 3D Video Card, DirectX 8.1 or Higher.

Two of the in game tips mention mult-player.  Is that in there?  Where?

There's no multiplayer in the game, that feature was abandoned.

Where did you see it mentioned? The developer thought he'd nixed all references to it...

Too bad.  My fathjer kicks my butt in Scrabble and I thought this might put us on even footing.


The reference was in the tooltips; Tips.ini.  Numbers 10, 14, and 16.


As a side note, WordWars installed in a directory called TotalGaming, not TotalGaming.Net.  Consistancy counts.

We had to change the directory structure, since it was affecting the installs of Trash (game we added last week). All new games and reinstalls of old ones will now install by default into TotalGaming.

I just got the update removing the multiplayer tips.  A very sad day indeed.

Don't be sad, that feature was axed long before we added it to TGN. Apparently they just couldn't make it work right.
