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.

Too late. It has yet to match yet the features Wordpress.com has.
Blogger is the less @gmail.com account associated google product.
IMHO google should deploy it's own wordpress bloggin service with a import feature while keeping still blogger alive.
They should better to restart.

For a beginner, Wordpress.com is okay, but for someone who knows a bit of coding, I think blogger is the way to go, you can have a decent looking blog going in no time at all. Alternately, if you MUST have WP, I suppsoe doing your own install would be the best idea. I've yet to get my blog up, I was going to do an install of Wordpress but now I am seriously going to reconsider this and use a well-designed Blogger blog. I think someone needs to do a comparison for people like me who need to make a decision.

Ive used blogger before and yes it is maybe better than a free wordpress.com blog, but it dont beat hosting your own wordpress blog. Im running a K2 theme with a nice style i found on their forum, its great got some nice AJAX Commenting, live search, rolling achieves etc.
Dont see your be able to do that with blogger, And also there are loads of plugins for wordpress.

That's a valid point, again, if you're serious about blogging then hosting something, such as Wordpress, is definately a good way to go. At the same time, if the only thing you want to care about is the overall look of the blog and the content, then going for some free hosting with a blogger blog is a good way to go.
Decisions, decisions.
