World of Warriors

World of Warriors from Mind Candy is an adventure strategy game that pits the greatest warriors in history against a powerful enemy. There’s no shortage of mobile adventure games, but the combination of action and strategy on this one makes it unique, and the thrill you get from playing Romans, Vikings, Samurai and others is unique.

Soulja Boy: Young Millionaire

Do not miss out on Soulja Boy‘s hefty 21-track collection, Young Millionaire, released late last year. The ‘Crank That’ singer treats his fans with a solid set of hip hop beats mixed with pure RnB and soul. The album utilizes the rapper/producer’s tried-and-tested formula of hip hop + RnB that has brought success, not only to Soulja Boy, but to a lot of hip hop artists in the past. What makes this formula work is the perfect match between the evocative sensuality of RnB tunes and famous hip hop themes.

Snappy

Snappy is a Windows application that allows you to take screenshots. There’s more than a few of these available, but Snappy is free and easy enough for even a casual computer user to use. Developed by OndaNera, it’s a very basic but useful utility.

Looney Tunes Dash

Looney Tunes Dash from Zynga is a runner that will have you running, sliding, jumping and smashing with Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird, Road Runner and the rest of the Looney Tunes gang. Though the premise is similar to most other endless runner games, it’s a lot of fun and you can unlock more levels when you finish levels.

Major Major: Major Major  

Anthemic bravado sampled with creative melodies define Major Major’s sound—a formula reminiscent of Muse’s lovably unlovable music and Radiohead’s self-loathing. Still, as an indie act that covers thumping beats and striking guitar riffs, it’s an album that will strike a chord with the pop/rock set, despite the minimal variation in terms of theme or mood with each song.

GanttProject

The GanttProject is a project management program designed to run on Windows, Mac and Linux. It was developed by Alexandre Thomas in 2003 and now run by Dmitry Barashev. Unlike other project management applications, the GanttProject is easy to use while retaining the most important project management features.

Billie Holiday

For the younger generation, it might be surprising to discover how Billie Holiday, whose music is defined by its muted and subdued crooning could possibly tap into an impressive emotional range; but that’s exactly the magic behind this legendary jazz singer. And as Holiday beautifully warbles a quiet serenade, a younger audience might realize that highly stylized vocal gymnastics aren’t the only weapons in a singer’s arsenal when it comes to making people feel their music.

Seabeard

Seabeard is a game from Backflip Studios that has a little bit of everything; action, strategy, adventure, resource gathering. It takes place on a pirate island where you collect resources and go on quests along the way; all while restoring the island’s former glory. While the premise sounds easy, the game has more than a few challenges in store just for you.
