'Dodge That Anvil': Great gift game finally in full version; The last of 'Santa's Boots'
A little light news to use this morning before I head downtown.

Wabbits at last! I thought yesterday was game day here, but this morning I learned that Dodge That Anvil, which I wrote about in February, has finally rolled out a full version.
This carrot-pulling game has you as a rabbit dodging anvils that come to life with fangs, balloons that explode and boxes falling from the sky that contain helpful tools -- hardhats, flippers, super magnets -- to help you survive and complete the harvest.
Here's the original discussion back then at Jay Is Games.
Screenshots are here, and there's a playable online demo. You can also download the demo, a better idea, since it runs full screen. If you're still hooked after playing its different skill levels through the first few harvests, you can buy full version -- now with over 40 levels -- for $19.95. This would be a terrific gift for anyone who likes fun, addicting family games.
I liked its colorful graphics and fun game play so much that I signed up to be notified when the full game was ready, and the email just showed up in my inbox.
The hits just keep on coming... but this is the end. The last of Santa's Boots are up:
Pretty Paper - Chris Isaak
Greensleeves - James Taylor
Love Came Down at Christmas - Shawn Colvin, Patti Griffin
The Christmas Song - Steve Berlin, Cesar Rojas
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer - Smashing Pumpkins
Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) - Bruce Springsteen
River - Shawn Colvin
