Trying to make up for blocking Android app side-loading on the Nook Color and Tablet, Barnes & Noble has announced a new series of apps that are available for their devices.

According to B&N, the list includes software such as Scrabble single user, Office Gamebox, Rock ‘Em sock ‘Em Robots, Jeopardy!, Wreck this App, Magic 8 Ball, and Doodle Jump Christmas, which are all available for download as we speak.

In the future this list will grow by a few more apps such as Twitter and Plants vs. Zombies, which are all welcomed additions, I guess.

However, the problem of not being able to access any other apps that what B&N wants you to, will still be a major downer for many, as nobody likes to see their app choices limited to what somebody believes it’s safe.
