Spintop Games Site Review

By Sheila Robinson (CA-gamer)

If you're looking for a game website with simple classic games like Monopoly, Scrabble and Backgammon, then SpinTop Games is the online destination for you. With a wide selection of puzzle, word, board, arcade and card games, there is something there for everyone at SpinTop Games.

A fairly new website, SpinTop Games originally launched in 2005 from Vancouver, Canada. No membership is required. Every game on the site can be downloaded for free. However, when you do, it is only a trial copy that lasts for a short amount of time (typically 60 minutes). After you try it out, you have the opportunity to purchase the game from them at a reasonable price (usually around $20). Sound interesting? Let's take a closer look at the cool games that they have available on the SpinTop Games website.

Have an affinity for words? Check out these fun titles.

Scrabble

The famous classic board game is now available in a cool video game format. Using a small selection of letters, you try and form words that will score the most points. The game can be played alone, against the computer, or with a friend. As you play, you will be challenged to improve your rank to become the ultimate word master.

Wheel of Fortune

Just like the TV game show, you get to spin the wheel, pick a vowel and attempt to solve the mystery phrase. Sorry no Pat Sajak or Vanna White, but you will still feel like you’re on this very popular game show.

Reader’s Digest Word Power

Test your vocabulary skills with this challenging word definition game. Match words with their definition and unscramble words by using clues.

Boggle Supreme

Boggle is a 3-minute word forming title that will challenge your brain. The letter dice are shaken up and then laid out for you in a nice square form. Check out the letters and try to score the most points by having the highest number of words. Can you meet the challenge? Try it and see.

Traditional family fun board games have moved into the 21st century. Play your favorite classic in an all-new video game format. Here are a few of SpinTop's offerings.
