It began with The 7th Guest, yet Words with Friends remains... - 1 views

  The 7th Guest started it all for me.
  
  At this point, sadly, I am only really playing Words with Friends since I'm seriously "in it" in terms of grad school. Games will return, oh yes they will.
  
  On Words with Friends remaining...well, it isn't much of a continuation seeing as I got my first mobile device (iPod Touch) this winter. Of course, it MIGHT be the virtual continuation of my enjoyment derived from Scrabble - which has always been around. Convenience is key here, though...I can choose when to play turns without annoying people in real time, or setting up a "game night." Game nights have become "game minutes" and are easier to fit into my schedule at this point.
  
  Also, for discussion...I like that Words w/ Friends games will end at some point and then I'll get a clean slate during a rematch. When I played WoW, I was the type that would create a character on a Friday night, level up to 10, then repeat the same with a different class, etc. for the evening. I had a main, naturally, but developing that character took work and sometimes I wanted to reach that Fiero moment in a slightly different environment (new spells, tactic, etc.).
  
  A similar experience would be when I play Monopoly and vary my strategy..."perhaps this time I WON'T build-up Baltic and Mediterranean early in the game."
