Wordament natively supports Windows Phone 8 devices and resolutions.

Word games are great time killers and one of the best, of not the best, just got updated today. Wordament, a Xbox Live title has been in the store since Windows Phone 7.x. As an Xbox title, players get to follow their progression and that of other players on Xbox leaderboards. As a word game, you can be a champion by either making the most words in a limited time, find the longest word to make the best score.

With the upcoming release of Windows 10, it's nice to see the already universal game get updated to take advantage of Windows Phone 8 devices and resolutions. Owners of devices like the Lumia 1520 and 1320 will love it.

Wait no more and grab the update in the Windows Phone store.

Drive a Renault Alpine A110 and Lykan Hypersport in Gameloft's Asphalt Overdrive.

 

Can you afford a $3.4 million car? That's the price of the Lykan Hypersport, a car I will never drive in my lifetime. But thanks to an update to Asphalt Overdrive, i'll get to enjoy seeing the car on my device in Gameloft's world. The Renault Alpine must be as expensive or maybe even more. The car was produced in 1961 and is a piece of collection.

Along with the addition of the two new cars and some bug fixes, here's what is new in this update:

• Joyride Race: How long can you last against the clock? Keep hitting Checkpoint Gates to survive! You can even use cars above your level in this brand-new game model!
  
• New Storyline and Tutorial: Learn to master Boosts and the Combo system to score 3 Stars on every mission.
  
• Open Gangs: You can now allow any player to join your Gang instantly!
  
• Bug fixes & Optimizations: We have corrected bugs with Energy Refills, fast swipes in the Garage, and other small issues. We also improved responsiveness, and the cars can now be moved in the air!

Asphalt Overdrive is available free in the Windows phone store with in-app purchases.

Wordament now lets you play against your Facebook friends.

The Xbox Live title has been updated today with support for Facebook so you can challenge your friends and share your best score. Twitter sharing has also been added. Wordament is very popular on the Windows Phone platform. Before the update, players were limited to challenging other players on the builtin leaderboard. Playing Wordament against friends will definitely be more fun.

Download Wordament for free in the Windows Phone Store. Wordament is compatible with Windows Phone 7.x and 8.

6 cool Xbox Live games prices drop to $0.99.

With the Holiday seasons in full swing, the Windows phone team  is offering some cool Xbox Live games at $0.99. Six titles are available for you to grab: Contre Jour, Doodle Jump, Mush, geoDefense Swarm, iStunt 2 and Kinectimals. Theses games are available in countries where the Store is open and until the end of the month. Unfortunately, the Windows Phone Store is closed for me, so unless they make these games free, I cannot take advantage of the offer. The game I'm craving for since it's release is Contre Jour. I will not mind buying it at full price ($2.99) when they open the Store in Mauritius someday.
