Here, have some Twilight and Cadance, I think it's relevant here...

Anyway, my Games Ponies Play review:

This episode was rather experimental, being the first to run parralel to another, rather than going for a straight-up two parter. And it certainly worked, with only the beginning and the end being similar to the last ep. What happened in this episode though, was very interesting. We got a glimpse of Rainbow Dash's father in a flashback, Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie, Twilight actually not freaking out for once(thank god, it was getting old), and Rarity actually getting some kind of role for once this season. The story here I thought was okay, but predictable. It was pretty funny that they grabbed the wrong pony though, and that pony was actually kind of a good character- especially with her claustrophobia, made for some good humor. Shining Armor as a gym teacher was pretty cool too, certainly made him a little less one dimensional to me. The only thing wrong here I think was the ending, which had to be the most rushed in FiM history- seriously, it wasn't good and very predictable, but, the rest of the ending being parralel with Just for Sidekicks with a cold close was excellent. Overall, Games Ponies Play was a good episode, and was certainly entertaining enough. Solid.
