As some of you may know, yesterday Mircosoft released Wordament for iPhone. What's special about Wordament though, is that it's an Xbox game and you can earn Xbox achievements through playing it.

*Gasps!*

Yep, it's true. There's a maximum of 50G and I've earnt 35G so far - it's a really fun game too! 

What this has essentially done is turned 300+ million iPhones into Xbox handhelds (along with the 100m Windows devices which are already using Xbox games). Pretty amazing! 

Also, the game's been successful on the App Store too - as of right now it's at #43 in the top charts.

Hopefully Microsoft will release more Xbox games soon!

There is also a Kinectimals game on iOS. I don't know if it gives achievements points.

Aye, it doesn't have achievements though.

i  dont know what else to say

Could be quite an interesting strategy if they play it right, Smartglass and now this game, it's basically bucket loads of audiences they've gained by user devices of other companies.

Funny. Let's talk when there's a halo and forza iOS game.

Well, that is certainly one way of looking at it!

Xbox are probably considering Steam as their direct competitor


Hope Nintendo makes the jump in time

wouldn't the more logical conclusion be that microsoft is now a third party developer?

Of course, this game is playable on the very fist generation of iPhones, right? Otherwise this would be an erroneous statistic.
