If you're a beauty junkie who loves Facebook juggernaut Cafe World, you might want to give Spa Life, the new game from Clarins, a try. It's exactly what it sounds like: you become the new manager of a Clarins spa, and you're responsible for making sure clients get their services quickly, that business grows, and that your spa gets the choicest accouterments. It's fast paced, so you can definitely end up addicted in no time, and it's not overly branded, so you don't feel like you're playing a Clarins ad. Next time you're waiting on a TPS report, this could definitely be worth a try.

We're looking back at all of our Best of 2010, like the features that you couldn't get enough of. Our Ikea or Designer game tested your abilities to tell the difference between a bargain furnishing find and a designer décor item. Considering how many of you are both "Ikea hackers" and haute home décor shoppers, there were plenty of all-stars in this game! Click here or below to start — enjoy!

There are famous authors (think Danielle Steele or J.K. Rowling), and then there are celebrity authors: part-time writers recognized more for acting, singing, or reality-TV stardom, who use their fame to sell books. Hollywood tomes range from tell-alls, to thinly-veiled memoirs, from cookbooks, to children books. To celebrate National Novel Writing Month, we created this game that will test your reading skills — kind of. See if you can guess which of these famous females is also an author and start playing now!

One woman's ugly is another girl's hugly. What is "hugly," you may ask? A hugly dude is an unconventionally hot guy. Some might say he's ugly, but he's also hot and huggable — hence, hugly. Who's hugly, however, is a heated debate, so we've made it interesting. Play our Who's Hugliest? Faceoff Game for a chance to win $500.

Chris Martin or Jemaine Clement? Javier Bardem versus Russell Brand? Which unconventionally hot guy is your hugly choice? Playing the game gets you entered for our $500 monthly prize; check out the official rules here and click on the photo above to play.

Talk about a new spin on a classic — check out this Nintendo-themed board game! Nintendo Monopoly ($35) is the NES version of one of my favorite board games. Instead of properties, collect names of your favorite Nintendo characters, who are grouped by game, including favorites from Zelda, Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, and more! The game tokens have changed too; you can steer a Koopa shell, Mario's hat, and a classic NES controller past Go, buy Power Ups and Invincibility instead of houses and hotels, and draw cards from "? Block" and "Coin Block" card decks, which replace the traditional "Chance" and "Community Chest" cards.

You can also adapt the game in the spirit of today's high-speed technology; directions include a special 60-minute speed play version of the popular game.
