Let’s start with a quick quiz:

1. Do you use the Internet Movie Database site a lot?
2. Are you often involved in conversations that include questions like “What was the name of that movie? You know, the one with Norm Macdonald in it?”
3. Do you often wonder what critics thought of some obscure movie you found at the rental place because all the good movies are gone?
4. Do you wish you had a convenient way to track movies you want to buy or rent, or that you already have?
5. Do you wish you knew what the top 50 comedies of all time are (perhaps while stalking the rental place aisles)?

I’m a sucker for IQ tests and ‘brain building’ programs, which considering that I am a major idiot (at least according to my very intelligent kids) is probably a waste of time. Recently, I fell in love with the Nintendo DS game ‘BrainAge‘. This is a real tragedy since I don’t have a Nintendo. (Hmmm, this may be a sample of why my kids call me an idiot!)

I used to play the original Bejeweled until I wore through my screen protectors! It was a great game that kept my interest for several months. Astraware has now released ‘Bejeweled2’, and I had to see if it would be a new favorite.

I love games that I can pick up and almost instinctively know the rules for, and that play fast so I can just do it and put it away. This freeware version of the classic game Breakout accomplishes both.

3 years ago, I posted a review at this site: Emulators for Pocket PCs: An Overview of the Best . Liberty was the first Palm emulator – for use with Gameboy cartridges. It was a great effort at that time; I liked it so much that I whipped out this review for it at SPUG.net.

(Or at least one planet) If you are a lover of RTS (Real-Time Strategy) games like Command & Conquer or Warcraft, and you’ve always wished for more of the same on

Product Requirements: Device: Palm OS 3.0 or later PDAs 101K .PRC Big Money isn’t a revolutionary game. It’s very similar to a slew of other Palm games on the market, several from Astraware itself. If you’re out there looking for something new and exciting that’s going to bowl you over and make your eyes glaze
