May I suggest that you review our app Mills Free ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/mills-free/90969e54-7b1f-4963-b0b6-9b899279246d ) there is also ad-free version as part of the package Boards & Pieces ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/boards-pieces/e27d0b64-21c0-4a44-b83b-425377825791 ) that also includes 6 other board games.

There is even a Windows 8 version released under the name of Kodar Mills ( http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-US/app/kodar-mills/31ccc357-2b73-418e-b5cc-239a1c7e19e8 )

The signature features of the app are the strong AI opponent and the background images that change daily.

AlphaJax is a great game though I'm still a bit rubbish at it.

EDIT: Also, a fun little game is Blockfall, worth checking out

Hi I think this is great show, but highly recommend you looked at
AIR HOCKEY
Crystalines

which are two really great games and desire to be mentioned during your show. I watch this show every time i see it on channel 9, but I wish you reviewed and promoted games and apps of above mentioned types.
Laura you are doing great job keeping us informed on some very important news and updates regarding Windows Phone and its' market.
