I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.

This one definitely falls into the at-your-own-risk category: A beta version of Windows Live
Messenger 8, nee MSN Messenger, has been available for download from Microsoft.com for some time now, but without an
invitation to the private beta test it has been impossible to use, until now. The trick is to use a recently-released "proxy patch" to fool the MSN
network into thinking you're running version 7.5, thus allowing you to log on without being part of the private
beta. Pretty clever, but dont' blame me if it messes up your system. Once again, try it at your own risk.
