Now that television re-runs are upon us and even the Sopranos is over until next year, the time has come to turn your TV into a Sudoku machine. Thankfully I am not personally addicted to this numerical game, but if you are, here’s a way to play it on any TV set. We Say: for 29.95, looks like this is your road to eternal addiction.
It’s easy to set up, plugging directly into the television, and provides a nearly unlimited supply of puzzles ranging from the easy to the difficult.
Multiple functions allow you to get help on a difficult puzzle, note possible numbers for one square, or create your own puzzles. A timer lets you see how long it takes you to complete a puzzle.

TiVo owners (Series 2, connected to the internet via a home network) can subscribe to “” and play Sudoku for free.
Not the same as any TV, but way better than $30. Look for these in the bargain bin by Xmas.
I dunno, I could never get the feel for electronic SuDoku. It’s just not the same for me without pen and paper.
Just check out Brainage for the DS if you want a “Pen and Paper” feel thats only 29.99 (or less) plus you can take it with you.
Downside.. you need a DS
* That said I love these Video Game in controller things, though admittedly the games are usually lack any Pizzazz that even an NES game would have. They are never the less fun at times.. thats is when you don’t feel like blowing in a cartridge to get a game to play.
