Download Squad moving to Planet of Internet

Regular Download Squad readers will remember that we reported last month on a revolutionary browsing platform that will completely change the way you use the web. That's right: Planet of Internet! Our initial review was almost entirely negative, but after a wild party at the Download Squad offices last weekend, we have seen the light. You heard it here first, people: Planet of Internet is going to be the next big thing.

If you have any money at all, you should probably just give it to Planet of Internet right now. That's what we're doing! Weblogs Inc. and AOL have been good to us, but Planet offers things that no collective of popular, credible blogs could ever give us. Eat your heart out, Engadget: have you SEEN our new house in Peacetown?

We're confident that our faithful minions readers are going to love the new site as much as we will. Now you can find out about the latest and greatest software while exploring the glorious 16-bit hallways of our new digs! Well, metaphorically, anyway. Houses on Planet of Internet don't actually have interiors. Regardless, you're all invited for fruity tropical drinks at our new rooftop pool. We'll even put in a little 16-bit umbrella, just to show how much we care.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI 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.
