Frenzic

I should start this off by admitting that I am not very good at puzzle games. They often frighten and confuse me. Add that to the fact that I am not all that bright (as evidenced by my work on TUAW) and things do not look good for me and puzzles. I'll tell you what does look good though (see what I did there?): Frenzic.

Frenzic is the new puzzle game from the good people of the Iconfactory and ARTIS Software. I can't really explain how it works, though obviously it involves colored wedges and some power ups (what good game doesn't have power ups?). You have to play it to get a feel for the game, luckily there is a free demo.

Frenzic also has an online component allowing you to compete against other players, and land yourself high atop of the leaderboards. There are a few different ways to buy Frenzic:

• $14.95 gets you unlimited local gameplay and 6 months of free online Frenzic play (you can renew your online subscription for $9.95 a year)
  

• $24.95 gets you unlimited local and online gameplay forever (and you get to support cool software)
