Another word game hits the App Store, but this one comes out swinging--literally. Enter ngmoco's Word Fu, the long awaited word game combines dice-rolling and word creation for a play-style that seems a mix of MotionX Poker and Boggle, all with a Kung Fu twist.

The app is a fast-paced word game challenging players to make as many words as possible before time runs out. Creating words gives players time bonuses and power-ups. The overall goal of single player is to earn belts (yellow, green, black, etc.), achievements, and beat previous high scores.

Where Word Fu really shines is in its head-to-head versus mode, which require two devices and a Wi-Fi connection, in versus mode, you're literally battling your opponent to make the most/best words and get the higher score.

All that, said we feel there is still a lot of unexplored possibility for this game that could easily make it the best word game for iPhone / iPod Touch. We've listed many of these below in our "What we'd like to see" section.Click to Enlarge

What we'd like to see in future updates: Training mode (no timer); word definitions; player against AI versus mode; More power-ups. Unlockable Themes/Dice (like MotionX)
