Absolute Vintage Studio Lite

Absolute Vintage Studio Lite from developer David iSoft is an app that allows you to add a vintage look to your photos. This app works for the iPhone and iPad. With this app it’s very easy to select a picture from the library and put your face (or your friends) on a body and edit it so the image looks older. You have the opportunity to not just change the color but also add glasses or cigars to your image.

Daniel Greenwood: Goldsmoor

Goldsmoor is a hit goldmine, the one of the recent releases from the wildly-tasteful British music machine. Coming forth in the vein of Ed Sheeran, it’s not hard to adore how Daniel Greenwood crafts his music: smooth, heartfelt, and consciously ostentatious – but that naturally comes with the excitement and the youthful exuberance that comes with being a normal 20 year old.

Renegade X: Black Dawn

Renegade X: Black Dawn is a free 1st person shooter for Windows. Developed by Totem Arts, the game takes place in the Command and Conquer universe. This means you join the GDI and do battle against the Brotherhood of the Nod. However, this is more than a C&C rip-off as it’s a new game all its own.

ToriTori: Boom

Speakers are about to go Boom, as ToriTori releases her first ever EP of radio-friendly R&B tunes. Just one glance at the way that she’s packaged, and you can definitely see that ToriTori (Latoria Boyd in real life) only has mainstream dominance on her mind. That possibility isn’t far from happening though, since ‘Boom’ is looking to be one well-crafted collection.

Sigil

Sigil is an EPUB editor that works on multiple platforms. Even though it is free, the program has a lot of features that rival even those of commercially available software. It is easy to use and has support for EPUB 2 specs and UTF 16 as well. While most users will be content with the book view, it also supports preview and code views if you want to edit it.

Sean Rodman: Trains of Thought

Recorded and produced by Sean Rodman, Trains of Thought is composed of band members Nick Fuss (electric guitar, harmonica), Kyra Soko (bass), Ian Bezubiak (drums), Michael Mloszewski (slide guitar), Brynne Herbison (violin), and Katrina Archer (cello). The EP was released on May 2013. The album is something of a roller coaster of musical styles, songwriting approaches, and emotions. But most notably, surpassing it all is the vocalist’s flabbergasting power to make us hang on every word.

Battle Alert

Battle Alert is a military strategy game from Xing Cloud. It’s a fun take at the military strategy genre and it offers many features that set it apart from others. While the graphics are on the cartoony side, the game is very engaging. You start things off by building bases and collecting resources, but there’s a lot more to it.
