We’ve been a bit slack on the games-reviewing front recently, but were convinced to give Scramble Touch a go by a couple of visiting iPhone users we encountered. They were MAD for it.
The actual iPhone game this is based on is called Word Scramble 2 and is a Zynga production, but the Android Market only features this clone. But it’s a good clone.
Scramble Touch is basically a free-form word scramble game, with words drawing themselves upwards, downwards, diagonally and sort of next to each other in one huge jumble. The twist is you can go left THEN diagonally in the same move. It takes the word search genre to the next level.
It’s a great game, especially if you live with competitive people – the ‘Play & Pass’ multiplayer challenge is superb. Sadly this is one you’ll have to pay for – but if you’re the wordy type you’ll easily get £1.99 of fun out of it. As long as you’re OK with the concept of paying money for cloned games.
Thought we’d throw in another couple of screenshots to make sure you get the concept. It’s wonky word search.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
