Who wants to play 3 man chess?

I saw this upon Google+ (which I sadly spend more time upon than every other social hub–combined!) and after 30 seconds (more like 10) I’m going to add this to my Christmas list.

It’s made by 3 Man Chess (obviously) and unlike a few other ugly prototypes, this one is elegant and functional. I’m wagering whether it’s worth the $50 to purchase the game (shipping included), although I may hold off for now as I’m waiting to see if the owner is willing to create an iOS (iPhone/iPad) app. Android too.

After swearing off iGames (because they were too addictive, boring, mindless or all 3) I found a game that is as challenging as chess, as fun as Snail Mail and as addicting as Twitter.

I came across this game via Mashable and after paying 99 pennies it’s now my favorite app! It’s a great way to de-stress the mind too!

The first levels are really easy, and the hardest part is getting all 3 stars when starting out.

They then throw in these blue “blowers” (which sound like someone is farting?) which makes the game a little bit more interesting.

The spikes add some fun to it until you encounter SPIDERS!!!

This is probably me but if there is one thing I loathe it’s bugs in (or near) my food.

So making sure Goober (what I’ve named the green monster in a box) receive his sugar high soon became an adventure of it’s own.

I think 30 plus levels in I’ve decided to put the game down, but whether you’re a kid, adult or kid at heart like me I think you’ll enjoy this game.

PC World Is Full Of Surprises

Warning: You are about to enter the geek zone. You’ve been warned.

So PC World did a review of the top 100 best products in technology today, which includes everything from game consoles to software to music platforms to more geek toys!

Google Apps seems to have killed off all of their competitors, taking the top spot, something the Googlers seem to be really excited about.

There were also a few surprises along the way including:

Yahoo! Mail Beta (27) beating Google’s Gmail (31)
Paint.net (19) beating Google’s Picasa (36)
Nintendo Wii (3) beating Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Elite (18)
Pandora.com (17) beats Apples 80 GB Ipod (26)

This really has been a very interesting year in technology. I’m disappointed that OQO did not make the list, neither did several other applications as well. Oh well, better luck next time I suppose!
