CNET Editors' review
SpiteNet: Spite and Malice presents an interesting mix of conventional solitaire and FreeCell that will test your luck, skill, and cunning, as well as your ability to tear yourself away from addictive gameplay. An easy-to-follow tutorial teaches you the basic concepts and strategies. Your opponent, a grizzled cowboy, offers witty remarks when he steals your move or makes a good play. If you get too annoyed with his cruel jabs, click his picture to give him a well-deserved slap in the face.
Along with that cathartic release, SpiteNet also offers numerous gameplay options, such as the number of players (up to four), a choice of sound files, rule variations, and a choice of backgrounds. To keep its file size small, SpiteNet has no soundtrack and few sound effects. The full version lets you play online against real opponents, although the demo disables this feature. We searched and searched for a valid reason not to give this humble game five stars, but we came up empty. If you're an avid card player, be sure to try SpiteNet. Gamers with addictive tendencies beware, though: you might end up playing this solitaire shootout for hours.

"10.0 does not automatically hide hold cards"
Version: SpiteNET: Spite and Malice 10.0
Pros
It is my favorite time passer.
Cons
The older version automatically hid the hold card popup...you can press the space
bar, but, if that doesn't work you have to close it manually...that is a nuicanceSummary
I have been using Spite and Malice for more years than I remember and this is the
first update that was not an improvement...but, that's okay...it is still my favorite
game and I enjoy "slapping" Spite. -
"I liked the older version better,"
Version: SpiteNET: Spite and Malice 10.0
Pros
It's challenging and fun
Cons
I would like it better if it was random instead of selected. The games are set for you to either win or lose, and I don't like that about it.
Summary
Like I said above, for the most part I like the game except for the fact that each game is fixed for you to win or lose. I'd rather they be random selection and let the cards fall where they may, so to speak.
I've always liked it, and still do, but it could be better.
