All The Marbles: A Matching Game
- This is a game where you are trying to find 15 pairs of marbles. You can only see two at a time, and when you successfully find a marbles match they stay visible. Its really simplistic, but the marbles are just big enough that you know which ones you are choosing ( 6.2 out of 10 )

Losing all your Marbles
- This is a game of removal. You are trying to click on each marble to make it disappear and you’re being timed.There’s a bit of frustration when you press on a marble and its is still there sometimes. ( 6.3 out of 10 )

Flibbix Puzzler
- Its a removal matching game. You have a 7×7 grid of similar images and you have to clear the entire screen. You do this by selectingf groups of more than 1 to remove from the screen. By pressing the reset button the entire puzzle is changed up, so if you want to try again just press it. ( 6.5 out of 10 )

Block2Lock
- Its a puzzle game in which you have to move rectangular pieces around a square to free the blue piece so that it can go through the gate on the side. The only catch is that the rectangle pieces will only move in the directions that they are long. So if the piece is taller than it is wide its only going to move up and down, where as the opposite will only move left and right. ( 6.8 out of 10 )

SquareO
- You are given a 5 x 5 grid with dots on each of the grids 4 corners. The object is to darken a dot so it reflects the number that is shown inside each grid. This game was very entertaining and actually made me strategize a bit. ( 7.9 out of 10 )

14 Pegs and 15 Holes
- If you’ve ever been to cracker barrel you’ve at least seen this game. It is a game in which there are 15 holes arranged in a pyramid fashion, and 14 pegs filling all but one of the holes. You have to make diagonal moves which are limited to jumping over a piece. When the piece has been jumped it gets removed from the game. the object of the game is to get all the way down to 1 peg. There is a difficulty setting for the game where the game can either shrink to 10 or grow to 21. ( 6.5 out of 10 )

Mu Torere
- This is a dot game in which you are on a 8 dotted circle with one dot in the middle. What you are trying to do is to move your dot to a vacant spot and try to block the opponent’s dot from being able to move. ( 5.7 out of 10 )

Frozen Lexicon
- You can only play this game on your apple product. This is a word game you have 6 letters and you are trying to find out every word that you can spell with those letters. If you get the 6 lettered word you will advance to the next round. ( 6.7 out of 10 )

Basketball
- The object of the game is to direct the basketball in the basket. you are given directional arrows in which to aim the ball and when you think you have the correct path you press the basketball to “shoot” it. ( 6.1 out of 10 )

3D Tic Tac Toe Too
- This is tic tac toe but on three different levels. You still are trying to get three in a row, but you have to be aware that it can be any three in a row even if it is coming from a lower level up. This is a challenging version of Tic Tac Toe, and the likelyhood of pulling a stalemate in this version is damn near impossible. ( 7.4 out of 10 )

Pente
- This is a game in which you are trying to get 5 in a row on a 13×13 grid. ( 6.6 out of 10 )

Spinblox
- Can only be played on an Apple product. Are given different colored blocks and you have to match as much of them as you can every wave. you can use any part of the grid playing field to make the matches, but the matches have to be of 3 or more. This would be an amazing game but I seem to have already broken it in the first level as the next wave has still yet to come giving me enough time to match every color on the screen and we are going on 6 minutes now (5.4 out of 10 ) ( it would have been an 8.2, but without a fully working game that’s the best I can do ).

Battle at Sea
- AKA Battleship. You have seven ships that are placed for you and it is your job to search out the opponent’s 7 ships on a 8×8 grid. This game shows two different screens through game play, one is to show you were the enemy is attacking and the other is for you to choose where to attack next. The problem is that these screens flash back in forth and after only 5 rounds I’ve become a little sick to my stomach. ( 6.7 out of 10 )

Gobico
- You play on a 10×10 grid where you are trying to claim the most squares in the grid. To do this you place one of your colored pieces down, and then your opponent does the same. The game doesn’t end until all the squares are colored. ( 7.8 out of 10 )
