You already have the money, dice, paper, etc, why buy it again?
Ben Hurtz ***
Not a bad game, the pacing is good and it is fun to throw stuff at the other chariots as they go by. We have played this one a few times and so far it gets a thumbs up.
Parts Unknown **
So-so. We didn't like the pacing on this one, lots of strategy but takes too long to get to your turn.
Unexploded Cow ****
Loads of fun, this is our current favorite. Well paced and keeps play moving.
Lord of the Fries ****
I like this game, there is something to be said for shouting "Bird, bird, cow, pie!!!"
Give Me The Brain ****
Another fun Zombie themed game that moves at a good pace and is lots of fun.

The Perfect Palm
\\Begin RANT\\
My version of the perfect Palm was already out there... almost! I have been through several handhelds in my days:
*Various RadioShack Handheld Computers
*HP200lx - A great little machine that was built like a tank. Loads and loads of DOS programs available.
*Handspring Visor Platinum - My first Palm, It is still working today. I loved the Springboard concept. Nice Datebk as well.
*Palm 505 - Not bad but not enough memory, I used this while I had other various Palms.
*Zodiac 2 - This was *almost* a perfect Palm:
The Good:
128 megs / graphics accellerator / great launcher / great built-in apps / two sd card slots / vibrate / analog stick / fantastic screen / felt very good in the hand (the absolute best ebook reader with its shoulder buttons) / BlueTooth
The Bad:
The HotSync Connector was horrible! / some digitizer problems / no built-in WiFi/battery was so-so
*Zire 72 - Very good, only downside was low memory and no built-in WiFi
*Palm TX - Mixed bag, it does lot very well but it can be frustrating at times. A mic would have been nice...
On question; Why did they ever change from the HotSync connector that the Zire 72 uses??? It always worked! No little pins to break, etc. Standard USB cable, imagine that!
Other Apps I think they should include in ROM:
CardExport II
Datebk 6
RescoExplorer
TCPMP
Some sort of MP3 Alarm clock!
I really wish Tapwave had stuck around for one more Zodiac release...
\\End RANT\\ :)
