What possible advantage could there be to playing Scrabble on a Playstation instead of on a board? I mean, I get the point of online Scrabble, if you want to play with someone who’s not in the same room as you, but console Scrabble?

I think you should learn R! No really – I’ve spent the last 6-7 weeks learning R so I can visualise the data we’ve collected in the Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives, and it’s not as hard as […]

No pieces to loose and solitaire play? It’s a shame they didn’t make it networkable, though.

Yep, no lost pieces. And nobody can accidentally tip the board over.
But I’d miss the tactile aspect of the game. And how can you hide your letters from the other person?
Jill
Hm. Well, yes. But I like moving my tiles around! Oh well. Suffice it to say: this is not on my Christmas wishlist.

There’s actually a long history of console board games. I used to have Monopoly on my 8-bit Nintendo. Rarely played it.
There was actually a board game designed for the Nintendo too–I think is was called “Anticipation.”
Jill
How strange. I suppose you wouldn’t have to work out the score. And some board games have pretty complicated scoring.
Ah well, the luddite in me likes the occassional board game.

The cat can’t sit on it. As much. Still, I’m with you on the principle. PalmOS Scrabble, now, that’s useful.
