Via Digg I found a link to Pengupop, a networked multi player game in the vein of the puzzle classic Bust a Move and Puzzle Bobble!

The object is to beat your friends in this addictive game, or play against a random opponent. Not quite as good as Frozen Bubble, but if you’re running Windows, MacOS X or Linux and want a game like this with network play, this is the way to go. Happy Puzzling!

Upon purchase, your magical 3D puzzle is in its original state: on every visible surface of every visible cube there is a silver star.

Dedicated jigsaw puzzlers know nothing matches the quality (or challenge) of a real hand-cut wooden puzzle. But at about US$ 2.00 or so per piece they are outrageously expensive (a 20″ x 24″ 1000-piece puzzle can cost $3,000).
