  2. I like Bubble Breaker

    I’m not one for ranking, but Burning Monkey Puzzle Lab is my favorite puzzle game.

  3. Dr. Mario sure is a fun game. Tetris is king, of course.

  4. Peggle is number one. I now own it on my Mac, my PC and my ipod. I can’t think of another game I’ve loved enough to buy three times.

    Zuma and Bejeweled are good as well.

  5. I’ve never been able to wrap my head around the popularity of Bejewelled, though my wife’s devotion to it borders on the religious.

    Super Collapse is probably my favorite (besides Tetris, of course).

  8. I liked Riven, but I guess that was a different kind of puzzle video game.

  11. Surprised there’s not more Lumines love. No PSP owners here? It’s like Tetris, only better.

  12. My primary game machines are a Mac and an iPod, so if the game isn’t available on either f those, I probably won’t get to try it. I have heard great things about Lumines though.

  13. jjohnsen — Burning Monkey Puzzle Lab is Mac only.

  14. Susan - I LOVE Lumines. In fact this post inspired me to get out the PSP and play a little Lumines today!

  16. I like Zuma for the sound effects alone.

  18. While on a two-year trip to foreign parts, I and other colleagues became briefly obsessed with playing Lemmings on the office computer. Does that count?

  19. Ahem…

    No.
