Scrabble is arguably the flagship game for Family Game Night, and it bears that burden well. It controls well, and there are a fair number of bells and whistles that make it worth the $10 price tag. With multiple local modes, online multiplayer and an intuitive interface, this is the best word puzzle game on XBLA to date. But it's not without its drawbacks. The fact that you can't play against a computer opponent and the oddly angled screen in multiplayer take away from an otherwise very polished game.

Word Golf: Fairway Clash offers a unique mix of Scrabble and golf. It is casual enough to be enjoyable, and the soothing background music is a plus.
Overall, Scrabble is well polished and offers a good challenge for players of all levels. The online play is great if you can find people to play against. If not, the AI players will give you a good run for your money. The price tag is a reasonable $15 and is worth picking up if you're a fan of the game.

There was always that one board game that required players to use their brains a bit more than just rolling die and moving a piece. Everyone knows what game I’m talking about. That’s right, the word game Scrabble. Part of the Hasbro family of games, Ubisoft has brought the classic board game to the PS4.
Oh wow.. *looks at letters* Not going to put that word down, even if it does use all the tiles.
