In a surprise twist marking my return to the site and consequent reclaiming of The Week in Gaming Apps round up, only two of this week's apps are physics puzzlers, and hey, one is not an iOS game!
Not that there's anything wrong with physics puzzlers, especially when one of them features paper-eating monsters and the other one runs on the Motorola Xoom tablet I've managed to borrow until such a time as the lovely folks I've borrowed it from remember I have it. I keep sending them baby pictures to distract them. Until the cuteness wears off, I'm your Android man, baby.
Can I call you baby? Is that too forward? I've never felt this way before. Hold me, or peruse this week's gaming apps. Your choice.
If you have a suggestion for an app for the iPhone, iPad, Android or Windows Phone 7 that you'd like to see highlighted, let us know.
