World's craziest concepts from Geneva Motor Show

Word Puzzle and Switchball XBLA bound

Another XBLA twofer is headed our way this week with both Word Puzzle and Switchball making XBLA appearances this Wednesday, November 7th.

Word Puzzle, the game's title pretty much says it all. Word Puzzle is an interactive word find that'll feature four player Xbox Live versus, two player local, Vision camera support and things called "word bombs" all for the gotta-try-the-trial-before-I-shell-out-the-cash price of 800 Microsoft points. Switchball is the second half of the XBLA twofer where, for 800 Microsoft points, you can navigate your ball through all kinds of 3D puzzles and mazes. The game includes two player local co-op, two player co-op over Live and eight player versus over Live. What more can be said ... balls will roll this Wednesday.

also, the wording in the reviews seem to say that this game uses static word grids, i.e all the grids are pregenerated. this would negate any multiplayer competitive ness since people can just memorize the grids. i hope this game uses randomly generated grids but we will see. the concept of downloadable word packs has me worried though. all you need for this type of game is a long list of every word in the appropiate language. are they going to sell us half of this list at launch, and then the other half a week later? lol
