James Joell-Ireland from wedotech.net writes "Casual games on the Xbox 360 have been particularly iffy at times, sometimes they are great fun, other times they are just absolutely woeful. So when we heard that the Blitz Arcade/1UP initiative was about to begin looking for a publisher to put a word based game on Xbox Live our immediate thoughts were 'this probably will fall into the oblivion of untouched titles'. How wrong we were."
TheGamersParadise rack our brains on the crossword puzzle game KrissX. Who knew crossword puzzles actually turned out to be quite addictive and fun?
Gamezebo says: "MAIMLAN - seems like just a random jumble of letters, right? Well, not really. Swap two of those letters and you'll get "another name for letter carrier". That is, switch the placement of the second "M" and the "L" and you get MAILMAN. If you followed that, you're ready to play KrissX (pronounced "Kriss Cross"), a highly addictive word game with a lot of bonuses, nuances, and strategic elements that do a lot to keep the game from getting too stale."
