An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Forget it. Play a round of Bejeweled instead. According to a new study, casual games are proven to be beneficial for your health. Details in the full article.

Ah, lists. Everybody loves lists. We love lists, you love lists. Games, too. We love games, you love games. So what about game lists? If you're into all that keeping-track-of-miscellaneous-stats jazz, then you might like this little something that we have for you today.

MobileRated has just announced its top ten free mobile games, as determined by number of downloads, from the month of November, 2006. Jamtris steals the top spot from M-SuDoKu this month, perhaps in part to competition from 5ud0ku.

Yes folks, there are two sudoku games in the top ten. Whoever said that the whole sudoku craze is dying out should be eating his own shorts right about now. Check out the list below.

1. Jamtris
2. M-SuDoKu
3. Doom 3D
4. 3D Attack Chopper
5. vPoker
6. Bomber
7. Fighters
8. Mobile Cobra Strike
9. Dope Wars ZX
10. 5ud0ku

Action games are still going strong in the list, with games like Doom 3D and 3D Attack Chopper cracking the top five. Doom 3D, a first person shooter inspired by the classic game, is a newcomer to the list. Doom 3D, as one reviewer said, plays more like Castle Wolfenstein 3D than Doom, but is an exciting game that taxes the horsepower of many mobile phone handsets.

Also new are vPoker, Bomber, Fighters, and Mobile Cobra Strike: respectively, a timeless casual game, a remake of a classic arcade game, a hard-core style head-to-head fighting game, and an action-style seek and destroy game.

All of the mobile phone games listed above, also known as java midlets, j2me games, java games, and/or mobile games, are presented totally free to customers. Yay for free games.

Global distributor of mobile Java games, Selatra, has announced that a new FlashLite catalogue is now available, promising to bring your PC's power to your mobile phones.

The FlashLite catalogue was launched at the MobilShow 2006 in Budapest, Hungary. Leading the line of titles are Meteors - a shoot-em-up space game - and Reversi, more popularly known as the classic Othello. There will be more to follow for the range for 2007. In fact, as early as now, the company is already working with JR Visuals to bring more titles by next year.

Says Sean Cronin, CEO of Selatra,

The games are aimed at the non-core gamer, simple to play, yet hard to put away. We believe one thumb and casual gaming will become increasingly popular with consumers who want to take their PC console experience to the mobile and play the flash games they love on the go. We see market growing along non-traditional gamer lines and are extending this genre in our global catalogue.

All games are available on GSM and 3G Networks. You can check out Selatra's full range of games on their website. Just click on the Read link to get there.
