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.

Optionally, if you are Dutch and want to go from "hier" to "daar" you would start in Austria and end up in the UK :)

If you try to go from "hell" to "highwater" you get from Michigan to Ohio...

Can someone tell me how to display Googlemap Japan in English? Now the map and interface are in Japanese. So I cannot really use it unless I can read it. At least they should display location name in English, so I can use this new feature of Googlemap.

You can also use Google Maps to find your way from Poverty to Easy Street. I played around with it until it got boring (which is, by the way a city in Oregon):

You could also fill in your own joke using Lancaster County, PA:

I enjoyed this one:

That's why I use Live Maps. Literally no problems/bugs like this. :)
