2 hours of cleaning for 20 minutes of play? i really hope you have given your children a better understanding of ROI than that.

If they don't drag their asses, they can get it cleaned under 10 minutes.

I deleted and edited pages of a pdf on my Galaxy Tab with a $5 app after I spent an hour trying (and failing) to figure out how to do it for the same price or less (read: free) on my Windows laptop). Completely inane.

True. However, there are less thought provoking games like Temple Run and Fruit Ninja.

depends on the kids level of perfection. My nieces and nephews have perfect CTR and that takes some thought on some of the levels.

That being said WMW and CTR are my two favorites.

I can't remember the last time I didn't get 3 stars in less than 2 tries in CTR I feel like each new update releases a new play mechanic, but they kind of forget the ones they've introduced already.

WMW introduces new mechanics in the same fashion as CTR, but they seem to throw everything at you once it's introduced.
