Tinker, a game available right now for free through the Windows Vista Ultimate Extras program, is probably the first Ultimate extra that people actually like. The previous couple—Sound Schemes and DreamScene moving wallpapers—were nice, but hardly worth the extra money people paid for the premium version of Vista. Download the 60-level obstacle course game right now from your automatic Windows Update. Here’s hoping there are more Extras coming before Windows 7 hits.

Tinker IS a lot of fun, but I wouldn’t say this game alone is worth the extra cost for Ultimate. One thing, tutorial level 18 says the par is 18+ energy, but it is impossible to finish the level with more than 16 energy, so you cannot earn the gold crown on the first 20 levels. Even the solution cheat winds up with only 16 energy left for level 18.
