Crave spells out new DS, PSP game

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Apr 3, 2007 5:05 pm PT

Spelling Challenges and More! due out this summer for $19.99; portable game to feature game show mode, word games.

With the success of puzzle games like Sudoku and brain-teasing games such as Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, publishers are looking to capitalize on gamers' new interest in their noggins. The next subject invading handhelds appears to be spelling, as Crave is getting set to test gamers' orthography.

The publisher has announced Spelling Challenges and More! for the DS and PlayStation Portable. The game is due out this summer and will retail for $19.99.

The game will feature a game show mode hosted by Mr. Niceguy, who will award prizes and cash for correct answers. Other modes include a variety of word games revolving around the 25,000 words in Spelling Challenges and More!'s memory.

It wouldn't be a proper spelling challenge without a little competition. Gamers can also try their hand at Ubisoft's Spelling Spree, due out in June on the DS and Wii.

    Crave has always been a steaming pile of crap. Nice to see they're not changing.

    I would not be surprised if these actually sell well. Parents will buy 'em if they're twenty bucks to give to their kids.

    Oh I'm sure this will sell, look how well Brain Age and Big Brain Academy did.

    ChitoKiryoku: Or just parents who buy it for themselves, lol.

    I would rather have 'The Typing of the Dead' on DS.

    This will sell, seriously. Two groups of people will buy this: Parents for their kids (huge group) and people who own a DS and want to improve their spelling (not-so-huge group)

    Still, these games always seem to do well.
