Mayan Puzzle for iPhone. Perfect Excuse to Revisit Your Love of Match 3 Games

Master of Alchemy for iPhone. Another Quality Game from Chillingo, Despite its Repetitive Levels
Master of Alchemy Rating: Other than reading the latest thoughts on Global Warming and watching the meteorologists on TV forecasting the weather the last time I did anything scientific was to burn some magnesium sulphate, I think that’s what it was called, over a Bunsen Burner during a school science lesson.
