About a year and a half ago, we wrote about a fascinating title from Denki called Quarrel. The outline for the game tickled our board game-loving fancies -- you lead troops to conquer territories on a small island, building words out of tiles in order to destroy your opponents in a Risk meets Scrabble-esque fashion. We were pumped. We were 'gized. Then we didn't hear anything about the game for a year and a half.
Fortunately, the game is still very much alive and kicking, as evidenced by the trailer posted after the jump. As an added bonus, it looks like it'll also feature Avatar support, meaning you'll really be able to soak up the shame on your friends' faces when they come at you with a "C-A-T" or a "R-O-C-K."

I hate it when news like this hits April 1. I know it's real, but I keep hearing this tiny voice in my head yell, "It's a prank."

It's not a prank :-)
Prank would be a good word to make in the game, though. Lots of points.

What's scary about this, is my last name is that except with two L's at the end.

Looks fun, but then I realized that online will be filled with cheaters who use apps to automatically give them the word with the most points. It'll feel like Xbox Live is filled with word geniuses and you'll never win a game.

One thing we've done to help tackle this is include a timer during multiplayer mode - that way there simply isn't time to cheat using an app (at least in our experience).

That's good to hear, David. I'm definitely curious to see how this turns out!
