Games: Fantasy puzzle and salon challenge

Zamby is a new fantasy puzzle adventure from Kristanix. The goal of this non-violent game is to use logic, stealth, guile, and imagination to guide Zamby through a wondrous world of light crystals, monsters, and obstacles. The developer says "The game's simple interface allows children and adults to begin playing the game immediately. Guiding Zamby through the game's 150 increasingly difficult levels, however, requires moving objects, building bridges, trapping monsters, and using logic to solve each level of the journey. Throughout the exciting encounter, Zamby discovers new things about his mystical terrain, and the challenges in his path." Zamby runs on Mac OS X 10.3 and up and costs $20 for a single user license.

Sally's Salon, developed by Games Cafe, engages players to help Sally spread her salon savvy from her hometown shopping mall to the glittering lights of Hollywood. "Work with Sally to beautify everyone from little old ladies to punk rockers in 10 unique salon locations. Wash, dye, cut, style and more in 50 levels of frantic, but fashionable, fun. Use your earnings to hire helpful employees and purchase salon upgrades to keep your clients looking and feeling their best. Only the stylist with the happiest (and best-looking!) customers will make the cut in this frenzy of family fun." The game is also priced at $20.
