Sudoku

The last craze over here, and the rest of the world it seems, is Sudoku.

I've seen advertisements with claims like 'the biggest puzzle craze since the Rubik's cube!' As a result, many people have been asking me about it. It did look like the sort of thing I would enjoy, however, as I only do things in iPAQ form now (e.g. iPAQ ebooks, iPAQ scrabble, iPAQ monopoly, etc.), I wasn't going to try Sudoku until I could try it on the iPAQ.

Yesterday when reading the latest Pocket PC Thoughts e-newsletter, there was an advert for iPAQ Sudoku. I downloaded the trial and gave it a go. Unfortunately, this particular Sudoku wouldn't run on my iPAQ. It should have been compatible so perhaps it was just a corrupted download. Anyway, not to be put off, I logged into Handango and searched for other iPAQ Sudoku games. I found Pocket Sudoku and downloaded the trial.

I'm pretty happy with Pocket Sudoku so far. If I'm still enjoying it after the trial expires then I will buy the full version.

Hi,

Did you buy the game? Was it any good?

I only started playing last week, and not sure if I love it enough much to buy.

Thanks

Doug

Nah, I didn't buy it. I got bored with it by the end of the week.

It was actually pretty good though. It wasn't really the iPAQ application I bored with, I just wasn't really that interested in Sudokus anymore.
