The Sudoku Widget by Brian DeBoer generates random puzzles with four different levels of difficulty, has the option to show when you have entered an incorrect answer, allows for "pencil" marks for temporary numbers, times your games so you can see how much better (or worse) you are getting, keeps track of high scores, allows for blank puzzles and more.
