Angry exchange about games such as this (10)

I believe the answer is:

crosswords

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'as this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is a plural noun.

'angry exchange about games' is the wordplay.
'angry exchange' becomes 'words' (as in to 'have words').
'about' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'games' becomes 'cross' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'words' after 'cross' is 'CROSSWORDS'.

'such' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for crosswords that I've seen is " which call for solutions".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
