Pwned Game Review–If You Just Can’t Get Enough Chess, Bring Friends and Play
The word “pwn” is rapidly becoming a rapid part of our vocabulary, even if no one’s a hundred percent sure just how to pronounce it. But for those of you who pronounce it “pauhnd”, then you’ll get the connection to recent Xbox Live community release Pwned.
Pwned, you see, is a chess game. As such, there’s no real plot, and there’s also no real single player mode. Pwned is made to be played with friends on Xbox Live Arcade. As such, it has something of a limited appeal–you have to have a match in order to play–but for those who have friends or good online connections, then this won’t be a problem.
If you have friends and a desperate hankering for some…chess…then Pwned is the game for you. Otherwise…well…okay, otherwise you’re going to have absolutely NO use for this game, but at the bargain price of four hundred Microsoft points, it costs less than some chess sets. If you’re into chess, this is a good buy.
