Welcome to Freeware Friday, a weekly column showcasing excellent games that you can play free of charge!

There's two kinds of casual games out there: ones that are mindless diversions, and ones that actually challenge the brain to work a little. While a casual game is approachable by anyone, the second set tends to get a little better reputation than the first solely for the fact that it requires more brainpower to excel at. A good example of this is Bejeweled versus Sudoku. While both challenge the mind and provide simple entertainment, Sudoku is significantly more cerebral than Bejeweled with its more logic-oriented gameplay. However, when you merge the two together into a sort of Casual Frankenstein Monster (and no, we don't mean Puzzle Quest), well, you get something truly addictive. That game is the freeware puzzler Blocksum, and it has completely ruined my productivity.
