Puzzle games YAY. I like puzzle games because they are puzzles. I also like them because you can play them really fast. I also like them because you do not have to play them a long time. I like puzzle games on the iPod Touch because I can play them laying down on my couch. I also like apple pie ice cream.

Featuring a point-and-click journey into twu wuv, a shooter where the past is your worst enemy, and more, this week's Link Dump Friday is more fun than you can shake a stick at. Although if you're the kind of jerk who goes around shaking sticks at things, you probably won't like it anyway!

Why do bees have sticky hair? Because they use honey combs. Why do Weekend Downloads have a bunch of games? Because spending your weekend reading about and subsequently sorting pieces of lint isn't nearly as fun.

I'm very proud to report no hobbits or halflings were harmed in the creation of this Mobile Monday. Technically, the two terms refer to the same thing, but one comes without the nutty aftertaste of lawyers. Also: no game in this week's article features halflings or hobbits.

Weekend Download
Games Featured:
  • • Journey to the Center of the Earth
  • • ASCIIpOrtal
  • • GIana's Return
Three truly heavy-hitting games on this edition of Weekend Download, two of them weighing in as unofficial sequels to commercially released games. Don't let that keep you from trying Journey to the Center of the Earth, however, as it packs even more punch than the name brands!

They did, and they saw Squareball on the way there, and everybody lived happily ever after.

Massive puzzle game overload! Gah, it hurts us, precious! From the unique and original Ynth to the physics-oriented Enigmo 2, there's something for every brainy gamer to enjoy.

We've got work to do this week, dear reader! There's monsters in the garden, turtles that need launching, and things that need to be set on fire! No, there's no time for games in this week's Link Dump Friday! They may look like games, but they're backbreaking labor! Just get to work, post-haste! If you're quick about it, there's an extra penny farthing in it for you, there's a good chap. Pip pip, and so forth.

Normally, I'm not much of a shmup fan. Three of the four games featured below, however, happen to be shooters. And I happen to have enjoyed them. Which is neat! Sure, they're decidedly less "serious" than most games in the genre, but still, you shoot stuff, so that counts, right?

Sticky, candy-covered floor optional.

Ohhhhh, sometimes I can't get enough of that old-school retro-styled CRT TV in the living room playing games when I'm supposed to be learning my multiplication tables goodness! An incredibly low-res Quake-inspired game is a heavy dose of nostalgia, but pile on top of that a short Lucas Arts-style adventure game and an unofficial sequel to a near-forgotten NES title, stick a Post-It note on the front, and you've got a recipe for a relaxed weekend.

This week on Link Dump Friday: "They want me to do WHAT?" Be awesome in a helicopter, blast water at helpless roly-poly critters, defend a forest using heavy artillery, and more!

In fact, the only thing better than this moment will be next week's moment! But for now, let's just cherish the time we have together and... wait, you're playing games, aren't you?! Are you even listening? *sigh*

  • • Paper Toss
  • • Evacuation
Paper, aliens, and scary things that jump out at you and go "BOO!! WAAA HAHAAA!" dominate this edition of Mobile Monday. Come to think of it, that sounds like the last family reunion I went to. Including games: Mystique. Chapter 1: Foetus, Paper Toss, and Evacuation.

Weekend Download: <br />Soooo Close Edition
Games Featured:
  • • DinerTown Tycoon
  • • Kitten Sanctuary
  • • Pahelika: Secret Legends
Our goal is to bring you only the games that are worth playing, meaning most of these titles are left in the forgotten realm of Didn't Quite Make It land. This is especially true with downloadable games, as it's a bit more of a commitment to buy a game than just click on a link and play. Some games look good, play well, and are entertaining enough to be featured, but for one reason or another they just didn't make the cut. Here are a few games that are, by all rights, excellent titles to play, but for one reason or another didn't quite get their own review.

Weekend Download
Games Featured:
  • • Holdover
  • • Ninja Robot Winning Gameshow
  • • Gray & Green
Painfully difficult retro gaming time!!! Three platform games on this edition of Weekend Download, each one doing its part to remind you just how bad you are at playing games. Until you play the same part a dozen times, then you're awesomely talented!

  • • Pixa Fixa
  • • Summertime
  • • Toast of War

A big bunch o' arcade games have been assembled for this week's Mobile Monday. It was actually really easy to gather them, too. All I had to do was put out a bit of arcade bait and they came a-runnin'...

Weekend Download
Games Featured:
  • • Space Exploration: Serpens Sector
  • • Bitfortress
  • • Tombed
It's the weekend!!! That means you have a little extra time on your hands. That means I get to take away some of that time with a handful of free games. That means you get to have fun on your weekend. Don't forget to mow the lawn, though.

Link Dump Friday
Games Featured:
  • • Plant Pong
  • • Yan Loong Legend 2
  • • vel.shock()
  • • Puristic Rotation

This week in Link Dump Friday: the arcade! Bastion of fun and hope for young and old alike in an urban wasteland? Or secret lair of an ancient race of mole people from deep within the earth's crust? Unless you tune in this week for plants, turrets, swords, and more, you may never know. And Jay will get all the high scores to himself. We can't have that, now, can we?

Mobile Monday
Games Featured:
  • • Diorama
  • • Kaloki Adventure
  • • TonePad
  • • Trains
An iPod full of diverse games on this week's Mobile Monday. My personal favorite happens to be TonePad. Mostly because I like messing around with sound without, you know, actually accomplishing anything or learning real musical skills.

Weekend Download
Games Featured:
  • • Storm
  • • Save the Planet
  • • Heresy War

While I'm a big fan of retro games, developers have yet to convince me that a touch screen is an adequate replacement for a physical controller. With a touch screen you get no tactile feedback, and I feel that ruins many iPhone games. This week we have several titles whose controls are better without d-pads and buttons. And believe me, that's a tough fact for me to admit!

Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened WalkthroughWe've just finished a complete walkthrough for Sherlock Holmes: The awakened! Be warned: This guide contains spoilers so use it as a last resort.

Weekend Download
Games Featured:
  • • The Mirror Lied
  • • Takishawa is Dead

All three games featured this week seem to be a bit on the chilling creepy eerie ominous side of things. Nothing like hordes of zombies leaping from behind locked doors, more like quiet, haunting environments that are suspiciously empty but filled with cautious intrigue...

Big game developers continue to flock to the iTunes App Store to offer portable versions of some of their best-known games. Electronic Arts is no stranger to any gaming platform, and some very recognizable titles can now have a home on your system. The prices aren't always as friendly as they could be, but sometimes it's worth a little extra cash to get the glitz and glamor a large studio can provide.

Braid WalkthroughWe've just finished a complete walkthrough for Braid! Be warned: This guide contains spoilers so use it as a last resort.

Weekend Download
Games Featured:
  • • Type Fighter
  • • De Toren

Mobile Monday

  • • Zenonia
  • • World of Tunes
  • • lilt line

A witch, cheese fiends, some goop, a bounty hunter, and the raddest hair you have ever seen walk, ooze, and fly into a bar . . . No, wait, that's not right! It's Link Dump Friday!
