New York Times Crosswords review at GameAlmighty.

"I don’t know what it is about me, but people tend to think I like two things I actually despise: chess and crosswords. Now don’t get me wrong, I admire the game of chess, respect people who are really good at it, but I grew up on video games and as such, I don’t have time for inanimate objects. The same goes for crossword puzzles. I’ve known quite a few people over the years who live, breathe and eat crossword puzzles. Their day simply does not get started unless they’ve tackled the latest puzzle in the newspaper. Me? I find the entire pastime exceedingly boring. So why would I ever agree to review a game about crossword puzzles? Well, a few months back I rented a movie on Netflix called Wordplay, as I had heard it was a rather fine documentary on the subject. Indeed it was. I learned about the history of the game and the mind-numbing artistry that goes in to creating an effective puzzle. I learned all kinds of useless information, like Monday puzzles are the easiest and Sunday puzzles will drive you to mass-murder. I learned Bill Clinton is a crossword junkie, as is John Stewart. Finally, I learned that I still have zero interest in playing a crossword puzzle. Unless, of course, it’s on a DS. Now someone is speaking my language."
