I love SCRABBLE, but sometimes it's hard to find an opponent who'll play a classic, tournament style game in person.

And the most recent one was nothing like SCRABBLE, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

Most stateside gamers have probably never heard of Level-5. If they have, it's more than likely due to the charming and maddening line of Nintendo DS puzzle games, Professor Layton.

These games alone make Level-5 a noteworthy company, but they've quietly surpassed "noteworthy" status to become one of the largest and gre...

Could Nigeria add SCRABBLE to the list of games at their National Sports Festival in 2011?
