GameWoof reviews Wordament from Microsoft. This Android game is a decent alternative if you're looking for a word game.

Its always funny to hear certain people say things like "Microsoft is becoming 3rd party now", because Microsoft has been releasing games on other platforms for years now. Sure, the obvious is Minecraft on pretty much every platform known to man, but even outside of that...Nintendo 3DS, PC, iOS and Android have all received games from Microsoft over the years...this is not new for them.

Metro Gaming reports on the launch of Microsoft Studios free-to-play Xbox LIVE browser videogames, beginning with Wordament.
i got all the achievements for Wordament, sort of silly that it's only 50 Gamerscore lol
I suppose this is a good thing, even though I don't plan on playing these games. I just hope people's gold sub money isn't funding this shiite instead of cool new features for the xbox, or new IP's. I was new to the Xbox brand this gen, and was happy with my purchase in 2008. I have been majorly disappointed these last couple of years and may not pick up the new one. I just want a sign that they want my money and are willing to give me what I want, not some crappy browser games (no offense to the people who play them lol)
Rumour has it you will need gold to play single player games and DVD movies on 720.
And there will be a price hike to $90
