Finally got into the word puzzle games thanks to Laura's advertisement of Wordrix.
So far I really like it but I hope to be able to avoid addiction.
Speaking of addiction, what do you guys think about my colleague's game Occupied?

Another great show Laura!
Speaking of Hot Apps "NOKIA Watch' is a great app for keeping up with what is happening with Microsoft's new best buddy:

I Wrote a little game for WP7 once [CarrierOps] But its rubish, and everyone else seems to think so too. But at least its in 3D. Waiting for an improved Garbage collector in Mango, so I can do decent 3D Terrains.
