If you converted Tetris into a dress-up game, you'd probably end up with something close to Fashion Cents. Instead of trying to fit blocks neatly into a vertical space, the goal of this game is to take the pieces of clothing you're given and create entire matching outfits--headwear, tops, bottoms, and shoes--on the 10 dolls you're given as workspace. Once you've created a full outfit on a doll, the clothing is placed into your shopping bag, and the doll is available again to build a new outfit. You can gain bonus points for using optional accessories like purses and sunglasses and by finishing off outfits with successive pieces for a combo bonus.
The clothing colors have to be perfectly coordinated to register as a match, although white and denim pieces can act as wildcards, and two-toned tops can also increase your flexibility. While the early levels are pretty easy, with just four primary colors to worry about, later levels introduce additional colors like pink, orange, and turquoise. Thankfully, special items like bleach (turns a piece of clothing white) can help get you out of a tight spot as you start running out of storage space and places to affix new clothing pieces.
If after loading up Fashion Cents you still have some shred of doubt that the game is aimed squarely at girls and women, that uncertainty evaporates the moment you try to match a green skirt to a pink blouse. A female voice with a thick Valley-girl accent screams out "Like...ewww!" in protest, to indicate an invalid move. Despite the obvious target audience, male puzzle-game fans who can get over their macho instincts will still find Fashion Cents to be pretty fun. With enough practice, maybe Fashion Cents can even help fashion-challenged players to avoid landing on reality shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy or What Not to Wear.

Fuzzee Teevee throws you into a world that's hopelessly dependent on the viewing of television. But to the horror of couch potatoes everywhere, a dastardly and mysterious group known only as the "librarians" has taken control of the mother satellite, the high-flying device that beams the warm, glowing images to the homes of millions. These librarians are bent on preventing the sedentary masses from watching any more television, so through a mix of puzzle and action gameplay, you'll have to stop them and restore everyone's favorite passive pastime.
The gameplay is set up in classic puzzle-game fashion. Each stage presents you with a new game board covered with blocks and orbs, the essential components of the coveted TV signal. You'll have to pick up and throw blocks and orbs of like colors in order to form chains and dissolve the pieces. Multiple chains can be put together to cause chain reactions and net you even greater point bonuses. In the single-player game, it's just you against the evil designs of the librarians, but Fuzzee Teevee also contains a multiplayer component (for up to four players, all on the same PC) that lets everyone involved compete to see who the biggest couch potato is.
If you're in the mood for classic action puzzling on the PC, veg out with Fuzzee Teevee.
