Gamers, I need your help!

So, I'm starting up a new research collaboration and we're designing an experiment where we need to have participants come in and play a game in separate rooms for a little while. We're looking for a relatively simple online game (no deep RPGs or RTS types) that has both co-op and vs. modes (the idea is for some participants to develop a sense of

Chuzzles and Chuzzles Deluxe are PopCap games. I think they're around $10 or $20. It's a match three type and a great time waster as well as comedy relief.

Sheep launcher is a free app for the iPhone where you push a button on a carnival type of "hit the pad and launch the sheep" to ring the bell. In this case you have to keep tapping the sheep to keep him in the air.

Cows vs. Aliens is also an iPhone app (maybe .99 or $1.99?). With your finger(s), you have to herd the cattle into the barn while keeping the little green alien out.

Angry Birds -- you are probably already familiar with.

Been very busy at work. Trying to do more with a smaller budget. You know the drill. I've been very bad about posting lately, more into the lurking and trying to keep my foot out of my mouth. XD

How's the move going? Are you there yet? You've been very busy yourself lately :)

I can definitely relate on the busyness and resulting lurkiness. This summer I'm really seriously feeling like there aren't enough hours in the day. We're still in Nashville (for another 3 weeks), but we've been traveling a lot looking for new apartments and whatnot. I'm going to MAKE time for a proper update soon!
