We know what you're thinking: "That game isn't new! It was practically my major in college!" Shh ... the kids don't have to know you're a ringer!

Rubik's Slide is a clever variation on the now-30-year-old Rubik's Cube. It's an electronic, two-dimensional Rubik's Cube that really makes you think in three dimensions. Nudge the squares up or down, left or right or twist it to move the lights around. Can't figure it out? Hand it to an 8-year-old! It's totally addicting.

Scoring is automatic and electronic so there's no wondering how many points the J is worth. (The answer is eight, if you were really wondering.)
