The series has been around since 2003, and including sequels, spin-off/expansions has released 12 different games.

Wikipedia is a very useful site for anyone looking to find information on any given topic. Chances are that you have used it for research at one time or another.

It is interesting to hear what Cutts himself has to say on the subject though, considering he has kind of become the unofficial posterboy for giving webmasters information about the inner-workings of the world's most popular search engine. Matt says there are actually a lot of things he would like to see added to Google Search, but one thing comes immediately to mind for him. When you do a search on Google (for example for "flowers"), the URL you get for the results is not just... - Tweet Feeds
