Minesweeper Fans:

Soon, you will either love me or hate me. A fascinating new Minesweeper variant is available in the form of Minesweeper3D. Same Minesweeper gameplay, except that the action takes place on one of a wide selection of polyhedra. These different polyhedra also demand different patterns of tessellation, so one tile can be adjacent a lot more tiles than just eight. The sounds are annoying, but the game itself is solid, even the few levels I've played from the demo. If anyone buys the full version, let me know how it is.

Arrgh. I hope it's not as addictive as 2d. I'm still (occasionally, as it seems really improbable that I'll win) trying "ultra" level in standard MS minesweeper; proportionally, its parameters are to Expert's, as Expert's are to Intermediate's, sort of:

intermediate: 16x16, 40 mines: 40/256 = 5/32 density, medium size
expert: 16x30, 99 mines: ~100/480 = 5/24 density, larger size
"ultra": 24x30, 225 mines: 225/720 = 5/16 density, max size

Also, every time I sit down at someone else's PC, I'm compelled to challenge their fastest times (which are usually defaults, depressingly enough).
