AAQR: Greedy Spiders (game)

This game was given away on 18-SEP-2011. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my OG Droid. After the cutscene, as the game loads, it just force closes.

AAQR: Solitaire Free Pack / Megapack (game)

Image via WikipediaSolitaire Free Pack, and its paid cousin Solitaire Mega Pack, is basically solitaire card games packed into a single app. The full version features... 110 different solitaire games, some of them use up to 3 separate decks. Plus there are "speed games" where you play against the AI in competition of speed.

Due to the sheer variations available this is a great little game. Not too much graphical flair, but it's a CARD game sim! On the other hand, it's not as pretty, say Solitaire Deluxe.

Download the free one, which has ads, or pay $2.99 and get the full version.

AAQR: Solitaire Deluxe (only available on Amazon Appstore)

Solitaire Deluxe was given away a few days ago on Amazon Appstore. It is a very pretty implementation of various solitaire playing card games, from pyramid to klondike and a few in between. It also adds accomplishments and in-game "currency" or points to get perks like new card backs, new backgrounds, and so on. My only complaint with this game is its HUGE size and slow-startup... 17 MB in size! Fortunately, Move2SD shrank the size down to less than 2MB, but that's still a lot for just a game.

The production values are quite good, and there are various modes to play. I am just not sure if it's worth $4.99 (regular price). Furthermore, there's some rumblings among reviewers that the app lets you buy more ingame currency (with real money through micro purchases) to unlock more games. You start with 70 plays free, but what happens when that runs out on an app you already paid for? Hmmm...

Rating: try it, maybe? When they offer a demo...
