A game of fighting words.

This game is one you can leap into without any preparation whatsoever, but I'd recommend using their training until you get the hang of things. Skill with grammar helps too.

I have written reviews of video games I have played for a long time. I realized that it was kind of silly that I only ever posted them on Steam and Metacritic, and not here.
