Slam into Vista

Here's a heartwarming Vista success story. Slam, a tiny Glasgow development studio with just six staff, has seen its casual title, Spinword, selected as a Windows Vista Showcase Game. The cute puzzler, downloadable from The MSN Games site is in the illustrious company of Minesweeper, JewelQuest2 and other casual royalty.



"Spinword is a fast-paced and exciting word-based puzzle game. Players play in two ways: by making words and solving puzzles against the clock; or by making as many words as they can in a relaxing survival mode Immovable blocks, exploding blocks and obstacles on the board ensure players have to think fast, spell accurately and keep their eyes open to score as high as they can!"



So if you can't get your NVIDIA or ATI graphics cards functioning properly, just chill out and try a Glaswegian word puzzle.
