Su
Doku Go! Desktop: Get your quick fix (May 17, 2006)
By
now it's safe to say that the su doku puzzle has taken the
world by storm. There is no disputing this fact: a whole
industry has risen up to bring the consumer su doku in every
shape and form, from books, to board games, to computer
games. TVTopTen.com has already brought you the SuDokuGo!
handheld game--now we're taking the next step and offering
a Windows-based desktop computer game, SuDoku Go!
Desktop.
For
most people, pulling out the newspaper or your su doku book
at work isn't exactly smiled upon by management (or your
parents if you're the student-type). So for the desk jockies
out there, TVTopTen offers SuDoku Go! for
your Windows Desktop. TVTopTen created SuDoku Go!
bearing in mind Windows' Solitaire and Minesweeper are two
of the most played computer games of all time despite the
fact that few people actually still enjoy playing these
games. SuDoku Go! sits in on the corner
of your Desktop, leaving you able to see other programs
running at the same time.
A
lot of the downloadable su doku games out there may be pretty
slick, but they take up your entire screen and require 100%
of your valuable time and attention. SuDoku Go!
wouldn't dare be so imposing. The program is free of confusing
options such as ten different difficulty levels, ancient
Japanese backgrounds and cute little sounds for everything.
Hey, you've been doing su doku in black and white in the
newspaper for months--who needs dancing animated numbers?
We like our su doku and when we want to play, we want to
play NOW with no load times or fancy intro screens.
Right
now TVTopTen.com is offering free trials of SuDoku
Go! Desktop. We let you play ten puzzles before
you decide ifyou want to buy it. Not 120 minutes, not one
day. Or, if you're in love at first sight, you can download
it instantly for $9.95. Once you install it, you won't ever
again have to jump on the internet and wade through the
sea of gimmick-laden 'Free Su Doku puzzle' websites. SuDoku
Go! Desktop has unlimited puzzles with three different
difficulty levels. It will measure how long it takes to
you to finish your puzzle. You can turn the sound on and
off. It's all very straightforward and simple for those
who don't need the major Hollywood production version.
Give
SuDoku Go! Desktop a try and we promise
that you'll appreciate the convenience and simplicity of
being able to play computer su doku with no waiting. But
you can't blame TVTopTen.com if you slack on your work because
of your su doku playing.
