    I really liked Puzzle Pirates. Except for the price. 120US a year, to play a half dozen flavours of tetris? WTF! I bought one subscription, but that was it, just way too expensive. Sounds cheap, until you pay the man for 12 months. I hate subscriptions, and will never buy another one. Leave that to you evercrak heads.
