Newfoundland based Binary Dawn hits Apple App Store with WordUs2!

Earlier this week Binary Dawn, another Newfoundland based video game studio, released their newest game 'WordUs2' to rave reviews. Originally a title for the PalmOS, Binary Dawn has updated and improved the game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. So many enhancements were included that they decided to version++ ;)
The aim of the game is to guess the word in a varying number of attempts. Help comes in the form of colored symbols which indicate when letters are correctly placed or if the letters exist in the word.
Several game modes have been integrated into WordUs2, including; Calm & Collected, Every Guess Counts, Think Fast, and Six Minute Sprint. They have also added OpenFeint, allowing you to earn achievements, with associated points as well as participate in the leader boards which track your score vs. other OpenFeint members broken down by game mode.
WordUs2 is a fun, quick game to pick up and play at any time. If your looking for a smart gift to add to your mobile entertainment selection this holiday season you should definitely take a look at this tittle.
