This is a fun one. Especially for those of you that like scrabble. I like that you can play it at your own pace. Find the easy 3 letter words right away, or take your time to get the huge points.

Fantastic Four

I read this article like a month ago, but didn’t blog about it then. I figured I might as well mention it while I link to the trailer. Isn’t it … incredible the effect that Pixar has on the movie industry? I tell ya, Pixar knows how to make movies.

Interesting little shareware game. It’s like Puzzle Bobble in space.

It has an odd title - Zzed. Give it a try!
