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.

I use my cell phone as my primary phone. I use an incredible about of minutes every month, minutes that I sometimes don't anticipate using, don't realize I've used, and consequently get very angry I have to pay for.

This is fantastic! I just paid a huge cell bill by going over. If anyone expects the service to get shut down, I just plan to install and use it as much as possible before then!

I am not so sure about using this service. It requires my login information to the cell provider. Regardless of the assurance that this info will be kept in confident it is still a recipe for ID-Theft.
