War of the words

According to Joystiq, the game of superior anagram-ing, Quarrel, is soon to be released on XBLA. The iOS game has grown in popularity steadily on handheld devices, so the move to consoles makes sense.

The game combines solving anagrams like in Scrabble with territorial control similar to RISK in a war (okay, maybe just a quarrel) for control over the island you inhabit. The visual style looks a lot like what you'd expect from a small-priced app game. It's colorful, cartoony, and attractively simple. The game will offer 2-4 player online modes, something you can't get in the iOS version, and, as you'll see in the screens below, it also allows you to use your avatar in-game.

Quarrel will be released in about two weeks from now, on January 25th, for 400 MSP.

I used to play this quite a bit when I'd be in waiting rooms, passing time for meetings, etc. Fun game.

At last - This was originally headed for XBox about 2 years back (before the ios version was even a twinkle in their eye) and I thought MS had buggered it up... looking forward to this one!

Good news! The iOS version is free, so if you want to give this a quick go there's no reason not to. Just don't expect to play online, as that isn't in the iOS version (as the article mentions).

Love games like this, hopefully it is good because it looks really good. And 400 msp and I dont have to wait months on end after hearing about something that peaks my interest? Sounds great, been hoping for a good arcade game for a long time, it has been a while since I have bought one.

Oh, wow! I thought this will be a typical 800 MSP game at first, but surprising this game will be costing only 400 MSP! I think I can give this game a try when it comes it; if I liked it, then this will be a worth a steel!

Announced at 400msp and everyone wants it, even though you can just get Quarrel Deluxe from the app store now for £1.99 (or even better, the free limited version) and enjoy the touch screen interface too.

Looking forward to this
