Microsoft brings Wordament cross platform, it’s the first iOS game to have Xbox Live achievements.
Born out of a concept that appeared on the Verge Forums and now a reality for jailbroken iPhone users. It looks very smooth, lots of attention to detail, and very Apple-esque. Apple needs to hire these guys!
