Download Game Maker Lite 8.0 Free



Have you ever fancied having a go at creating your own computer game but don´t have the programming knowledge? If so, take a look at Game Maker.

Game Maker requires no prior understanding of programming or game creating experience. It simply requires you to cut and paste elements into a game much as if you were using a word processor.

Game Maker is very much community-driven meaning there is a thriving forum of users and reams of user manuals to help you get to grips with it. YoYo Games offers eight clearly explained lessons to get you started.

This is not to say you'll be able to create great games in minutes. Game Maker still takes some getting used to and learning. Game Maker is also limited by size - once your creations reach a certain size, you can't develop them any further although for beginners, it will be a long time before they get to that stage.

Game Maker is an interesting project that provides a great platform to take your first steps into game creation.

Download Super Clicks 3.0 Free



Super Clicks is a fun desktop puzzle game for your PC.

Name the players on your game and choose a level of difficulty from normal to medium with Super Clicks and get started. There's even a kids difficulty level if you want to get younger players involved. You can even play with people online to up the difficulty level a bit. The settings are pretty comprehensive as well, and even let you change the colors and shapes of the game board pieces.

The goal is to remove all of the balls on your Super Clicks board. You do this by clicking on any set of balls that are connected to other balls of the same color, either above, below, or next to the ball of your choice. Once chosen, the balls disappear and any balls that remain above will drop into place below.

Super Clicks is a pretty simple game that's easy to learn and fun to play. The only problem is finding instructions to learn how to play in the first place. None seemed to be included in the actual Super Clicks game file. The Super Clicks games can also be a bit repetitive, and it would've been nice for there to have been a solution demo included so you could see what moves would've brought you to victory in each particular game. Kids might also bore pretty quickly of graphics that look like they came from a comparable puzzle game ten years ago.

Fans of Super Clicks can also get in on the fun with a similar game by the same developed called Super Balls.

Overall, Super Clicks is a fun puzzle game for all ages and levels of expertise - once you learn how to play it.

Download DeleteOnClick 2.2.32.21 Free



There are many applications that you can use to delete files permanently, but
DeleteOnClick is probably the easiest one of them all.

The only drawback to DeleteOnClick is that it has no rolling-back option. That is, you'd better be sure that you want to delete that file before clicking on "Yes", because there's no way to recover it. Well, that's what the program is supposed to do, isn't it?

With DeleteOnClick you can erase files permanently from the file's context menu. Easy and quick!

Download CrashPlan 3.0.3 Free



If you've never performed a backup of your PC, then you're risking potential disaster if your hard drive fails or the 'On' switch simply doesn't work for some reason. CrashPlan is a backup solution.

If you've been put off by backup tools because you're intimidated by how complicated they might be, then you may be pleasantly surprised by CrashPlan. CrashPlan offers you two options - online and offline backups. Online backups are obviously not free but they are automatic and ensure that you'll never have to worry about losing data again. Offline backups are free and quick although you should make sure the hardware you're backing-up to is secure. You can use CrashPlan to backup up to 10 different machines and you can even backup your data to other Macs or PCs.

Getting started with CrashPlan couldn't be easier. The installation wizard requires four simple steps to set up a CrashPlan account, including your email address, username and configuring a password. Then all you have to do is choose a method for backing up. If you choose to backup online, anything more than 2 GB could take a long, long time, so be prepared to wait. In tests, however, we backed up to an external drive and 60GB gave us an estimated time of five hours, which isn't bad.

Every step of the way, CrashPlan explains clearly what is happening and what will happen next. It consumes very little of your CPU as it backs up, leaving you to get on with more important things. The only complaint about CrashPlan is that it should have detected that our external hard drive was not big enough to backup the hard drive. It simply went straight into the backup and only informed us that the disk was full only when it reached that stage.

CrashPlan is an excellent piece of backup software. Easy to use, fast and lightweight, it ensures that either online or offline, you'll never have to worry about losing your data again.

Download FULL-DISKfighter 1.1.191 Free

Download FULL-DISKfighter 1.1.191 Free



FULL-DISKfighter is an all-in-one scanner and hard drive cleaner that detects problem files on your PC.

More specifically, much like CCleaner, FULL-DISKfighter scans your PC's hard drive to locate files it considers junk. Often these are files that are taking up too much space on your drive, but they can also be duplicate files the tool has spotted. The ultimate goal is to locate these unnecessary files and delete them so you can clear space on your PC's hard drive. This will consequently allow your computer to run faster and more efficiently.

FULL-DISKfighter's scanning speed depends in large part on just how big your PC's hard drive actually is. Larger drives will have slower scans with FULL-DISKfighter, but each scan is adequately thorough. At the end of its scan, FULL-DISKfighter provides a numerical summary of the files it's found.

Unfortunately, the trial version does not tell you which files it has located by name, nor does it automatically delete the files. For that, you must acquire a license key for the full version at a cost. What the trial version of FULL-DISKfighter does do, however, is make you aware of files and folders that might be problematic so you can determine what your next course of action should be: either purchasing the full version and taking care of any issues or leaving the issues as is.

If you're just curious about your hard drive content, FULL-DISKfighter will tell you in short order.

Download Foto-Mosaik 5.8.0 Free



Mosaics are visually very appealing, but also very hard to create? unless you count on an application like Foto-Mosaik.

With Foto-Mosaik you can generate a virtual mosaic from any photo, using your own image collection as an enormous box of mosaic color tiles. The program takes care of everything and your intervention is limited to selecting the folder where the photo tiles should come from and the one image you want to convert into a mosaic.

The first time you run Foto-Mosaik, you need to create a tile database with your pictures. The larger it is, the better results you'll get in the long run, so be prepared to wait for quite a long time while the program creates the database.

There are several options to customize before creating the mosaic, such as the number of tiles to use or paper format (portrait or landscape). Bear in mind that you'll need a high number of tiles in order to obtain a fairy good result. Ideally these tiles should also be quite varied in color and light, otherwise the resulting mosaic will look plain and dark ? or it won't even resemble the original picture at all.

With Foto-Mosaik - and as many photos as you can gather in a database - you'll be able to create a beautiful mosaic from any of your pictures.

Download Battlefield 3 Preview Free

Download Battlefield 3 Preview Free



Battlefield 3 is the upcoming first person shooter in the series that started way back in 2002 with Battlefield 1942.

This is a modern day US military shooter, set in realistic scenarios around the world. Not much is known about the plot, but it's at least partly set on the Iran/Iraq border during some kind of conflict between the two countries, that the US has got involved with.

Looking at screenshots and gameplay videos, it's clear that like Crytek's recent Crysis 2, the star of Battlefield 3 is likely to be it's new engine. DICE's Frostbite 2 looks like a huge step up from the previous version, famous for it's destructible environments. Soldiers' movements are really convincing, and the level of detail in the new 3D environments is just staggering. Battlefield 3 looks streets ahead of the competition, and it's hard to believe another game will compete in terms of graphics despite the game not being released until after summer 2011.

As well as a great looking single player campaign, Battlefield 3 wouldn't be a Battlefield game without a serious multiplayer component. This iteration promises games with up to 64 players, and while that may not match Sony's MAG, is still impressive and will no doubt make the game even more intense.

Battlefield 3 is shaping up to be the FPS to beat this year. Can Call of Duty compete this time?

ScrollyFox is a super-simple Firefox add-on that allows you to auto-scroll through a webpage in just a mouse-click.

The app is very uncomplicated, with only a tiny selection of configuration options - you can set scrolling speed and choose whether or not you want ScrollyFox to reverse scrolling direction when it hits the end of a page.

ScrollyFox will place a small icon in the bottom right of your browser. Left-clicking will enable or disable the scrolling function, while a right-click will call up the preferences window. Unfortunately, ScrollyFox doesn?t seem to work with Google Reader, something that people tend to spend a lot of time scrolling through.

Some would argue that Firefox already has a scroll function (middle click and release), making ScrollyFox obsolete. Even so, there may be some situations in which a totally mouse-free scrolling experience is preferable. If that's the case, ScrollyFox is an effective and easy application that will do the job perfectly.

ScrollyFox makes Firefox scrolling completely automatic.

WhiteSmoke Writer Business is a word processor designed for people writing English as a foreign language.

Offering spelling and grammatical corrections on a sentence-by-sentence basis, WhiteSmoke Writer Business also includes style suggestions for anything you write, in any program you write with. There are also a wide variety of templates, from application letters to love poems.

During WhiteSmoke Writer Business' installation, a hot key is set (default F2), and when pressed WhiteSmoke Writer Business swings into action and highlights errors in the text, with suggested corrections. The dictionary and thesaurus are good. The former offers translation to several languages, and the latter gives lots of results, though without examples of usage which can be dangerous for the student of English. WhiteSmoke Writer Business also includes business-specific text enrichment and a dictionary that's been enhanced to include business terms. Additionally, there is a translator, but it unfortunately tends to translate sentences verbatim, which makes it even less effective than Google Translate.

WhiteSmoke Writer Business offered some corrections to non-native English speaker writings that were tested, but it was far from comprehensive and missed some important errors. In fact, Microsoft Word is just as good at grammar correction.

The templates offered in WhiteSmoke Writer Business are mixed. The financial templates are useful, but not great and use some weird vocabulary. There are also love letters, an apology to a brother, cheesy letters to friends, and a wedding anniversary letter, some of which have some bizarre wording and can be downright comical to read. A quick search on the internet will find better, free examples.

The idea of a language checker available at the touch of a button is a good one, but WhiteSmoke Writer Business' results are still relatively weak in this 2011 version.

It's difficult to recommend WhiteSmoke Writer Business, as any word processor will do corrections just as well.

Unfortunately, you still have to enter your email address to receive an unlock access code to the trial version, which might annoy some users. The interface is a bit cluttered too, and can be confusing when you first get started. The interface includes directory tree structure on the left, the selected folder's contents in the central pane and a handy options menu on the right to categorize, tag and rate your pictures.

ACDSee Pro Photo Manager may appear a bit overwhelming at first, but it is actually a very comprehensive photo management option.

Download ohmiGene Lite 4.27.4 Free



Managing your genealogy can be a daunting task. ohmiGene lets you create new family members and connect them together. We liked how you can set whether a profile is private or public, add pictures and create unions between people. The program also has an advanced search to browse members by many categories like sex, birth, death or unions. Results will appear in the list view on the left. ohmiGene also lets you import and export GEDCOM genealogy files.

The interface is confusing and stuffed with small icons, making it difficult to get to grips with the program. It did take us a while to understand how to create new members and form unions. We were also disappointed to learn that the program limits you to 500 members for your genealogy.

ohmiGene offers advanced features to manage your genealogy but feels a little bit counter-intuitive.

Download Scrivener Beta 0.2.3 Free



Scrivener Beta is the long-awaited Windows version of the popular project management and editing tool for writers that Mac users have been raving about for years.

This trial version of Scrivener is relatively easy to install. A message appears immediately after installing, advising that for best results, new users should watch a 30-40 minute tutorial. This can be downloaded via the "Help" tab. Even without going through the tutorial, upon launching, Scrivener offers users the immediate ability to choose what type of writing project they want to work on. Some options include fiction and nonfiction works, poetry, and scripts.

Each Scrivener document type allows for three unique views: a simple text version, the corkboard, and an outline format. Scrivener Beta?s text version is exactly how it sounds; free of any extraneous information, you?re left with only the plain text of the document in front of you. The corkboard view allows users to ?pin? and categorize different scenes in their work with labels for chapters, scenarios, and concepts. Scrivener users can also list a status to further describe each document, such as first draft, incomplete, and so on. Lastly, the outline view provides an organized list of all the documents you?ve saved in a particular project with each title, label, status, and a synopsis of their contents.

Unfortunately, for a user who?s entirely new to Scrivener, learning how to use the program isn?t as intuitive as it could be. The video tutorial undoubtedly makes the learning process easier. Barring that, taking advantage of the interactive tutorial offered with this version is highly recommended.

Overall, Scrivener is an excellent product for users serious about the organization of their writing projects.

When it comes to drive emulation, DAEMON Tools is pretty much the standard. It's free for personal use, easy to use, light on resources and does exactly what it says on the tin.

Emulating a virtual drive may not seem that useful at first sight, but if you think about it, it has many advantages: you can load any image file directly on your system, you save the time and effort of CD burning and plus, virtual drives are much faster than actual CD units.

After installation ? and the necessary system reboot ? DAEMON Tools shows up as an unobtrusive icon in the system tray from which you can access the program's main tools and the configuration menu. All you have to do is browse to where your image file is stored and 'mount' it as a virtual drive using DAEMON Tools.

The Lite version of DAEMON Tools only lets you emulate up to four virtual drives but doesn't have the extra features of the Pro and Advanced editions, such as support for DVD HD and Blu-Ray drivers, or the ability to create image files. However this version of DAEMON Tools is just perfect for the average home user, who will hardly need to emulate more than a couple drives simultaneously.

DAEMON Tools supports a wide variety of formats and is a really useful app for accessing your CD collection without having to carry them around, protecting them from scratches in the process.

With DAEMON Tools you can easily emulate up to four virtual drives on your system, and mount a wide range of image files on them.

Download Anki 1.2.8 Free



Anki is a memorization system designed to help students - of anything - strengthen their long-term retention of facts. You'll still have to do the learning yourself, but Anki's method of drilling you means that you'll remember the answers long after you first learned them.

There are two ways of using Anki - you can either create your own questions (cards) or download other people's decks (groups of cards) from the website. Creating your own is very simple; you type in questions and answers (the front and back of the virtual cards) into the respective fields and format them to your taste, adding video, images, audio (useful for language learning) or using LaTeX and HTML.

You can memorize anything with Anki but a lot of the decks available online are aimed at Asian languages, especially Japanese. Anki works by showing you one side of the card. You remember the answer and, depending on how easy you found the question, mark it as Again, Good, Easy or Very Easy. Anki will ask you the same question again in a specific period of time designed to maximize your memory of the word. The program gives you detailed statistics on your performance and shows your progress in graph form so you can monitor it closely.

Although Anki might not sound revolutionary, it is a great tool for all types of students. As long as you can put what you need to learn in the format used by Anki's cards, you'll get some serious memory-maximizing help from the program. It is nicely designed, developed by someone who is obviously very dedicated to the concept and is an ideal accompaniment for people who are serious about learning something tough.

Anki is the perfect program for students of all ages.

The PCSX2 project has been running for a little over four years now, and since it's initial release has grown in compatibility.

From initially just being able to run a few public domain demos, PCSX2's current state enables many games to boot and actually go in game, such as the 'famous' Final Fantasy X or Devil May Cry 3. PS2 Emulation is a complex task, far worse than emulating a console from the previous generation (PlayStation1, N64, Saturn), simply due to the CPU power required to get 'playable' speeds from a PS2 game under emulation.

PCSX2 does the job remarkably well although don't throw your Playstation 2 away quite yet. It struggles with high speed action and is prone to freezing or crashing at the most annoying moments. PCSX2 comes in 2 versions, the TLB and the VM (virtual memory) one. The TLB version is the pcsx2t.exe while the VM version is the pcsx2.exe. First try running the VM version, following the instructions given (type your account user name, log off/on and restart). If PCSX2 still fails to allocate the memory, simply use the TLB version and don't worry the speed difference is not that great. After that, the PCSX2 setup procedure is quite lengthy although if you're Playstation 2 is broken, you'll find this a more than adequate replacement.

Download Vuze 4.6.0.4 Free



With the release of Vuze, Azureus is jumping onto the legal torrent bandwagon. This application features the classic and extensive Azureus torrent client and adds to it an online platform from which you can download and submit legal audio and video content.

Vuze?s interface is a complete shake-up to what Azureus users are used to. The BitTorrent developer has decided to focus on online multimedia content and introduce user participation. The first thing the user sees is a "Find, Download, Play" screen to introduce you to Vuze. You can browse files by using the left side menu, divided in time, main channels and tags. The menu at the top also links to hot and new content. Vuze takes the web 2.0 road and you'll see that most of the files have tags. You can write out a comment and leave a rating. The program also makes it a no brainer to send a video by email and link to content directly from your blog or website. Additionally, there are social bookmarking links for each file.

Downloading torrents is as simple as using the search bar, which the gives you options to search the Vuze site and results from the major bittorent sites such as Btjunkie. You can also easily add more sites to that list if you wish.

We won?t expand on the qualities of the Azureus client, for which you can read a review here. Vuze tries to innovate by adding social tools to the program and providing legal content in the Vuze HD Network. There are numerous channels to choose from, yet we were disappointed with the content in general. On some channels there's very little to watch and on others you don't necessarily find what you were hoping for. Much of the content feels cheap and throwaway, even if it is in glorious HD.

On the downside Vuze does nothing to atone for Azureus's principal drawback: the overuse of your RAM and DSL connection. Yes, Vuze is still a resource and bandwidth hog, and there's nothing you can do about it.

The whole interface is really simple, though the program is so heavy you will get some slow down, and the amount of legal content is still limited, Vuze is a promising application for sharing and enjoying legal content.

If you're already hooked on the original Azureus bittorrent client, take a leap into the future with Vuze.

The BPBible interface is quite complex. The good news is that you'll be able to find your way around fairly quickly and the whole thing is entirely customizable, which means that you can remove any windows that you don't need.

One of the few problems with BPBible is something that you are going to notice fairly quickly. You must download content for the program before you can view anything using it. It doesn't come with any preloaded content, and when you do go to download you are limited to the files provided on the BPBible Portable website. Because of this, it might be worth taking a look to see if they meet your needs before downloading the program.

Once you've got your bibles sorted out, you can get down to studying them. You'll have no problems in this respect, because BPBible has more features than you would ever need. You can look up your dictionaries, swap between texts, add comments, browse verses, tag text and even play a game.

BPBible has several features that deserve special attention - cross-verse searches make looking for phrases and ideas far more intuitive, while the topic management function allows you to tag and mark selections and open them in an integral manager for organization and modification.

Finally, if you are feeling flexible, BPBible will also choose random verses for you to study. As you'd expect, all of the aesthetic parts of the program - font and size, quotation style etc. - can be customized as desired.

Bear in mind that BPBible is also available as a portable, no-install program.

The search for a good anti-spyware program seems never-ending. More advanced spyware is created every day, and some threats are so subtle that it takes a really impressive program to be able to hunt them out. Is Spyware Doctor up to the challenge?

At first glance, it would seem so. Spyware Doctor is a simple-to-use and efficient program that scans quickly and smoothly and turns up a lot of nasty little surprises that other security tools might miss. The Spyware Doctor scan itself is fast, and plenty of detail is provided about the threats it finds. Given how speedy and subtle it is, there would be no problem running it on start-up to ensure everyday protection. It also seems to co-exist peacefully with other security programs already installed.

Spyware Doctor also hides a few features beyond scanning. The Intelliguard feature is included, although it is limited in the trial version. This tool provides real-time protection against a variety of threats and includes Start-up guard, to prevent malicious programs adding themselves to start-up, and Network Guard, to prevent changes to your network settings. Spyware Doctor also has a comprehensive configuration area where you can tweak the usual suspects such as scan schedule and update options.

There is no doubt that when we tested Spyware Doctor, it found a large number of threats in record time. It was easy to use, and worked smoothly and quietly. The only problem? The trial version only finds your problems; it doesn't actually get rid of them. Since getting rid of these threats is a major part of the program's functions, not showing us if it works or not seems like a major fail. Spyware Doctor may work wonders, but users of the trial version will never know if it's worth the expense.

Spyware Doctor - a seemingly smart program let down by an inadequate trial version.

If you're a bit concerned that services associated with your Google, Yahoo or Microsoft account are increasingly using your e-mails and online activities to target advertising at you, then Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO) is a handy Firefox extension to block them.

TACO prevents over 100 different online advertising networks - including Google, Yahoo and Microsoft - from displaying highly targeted advertisements using the detailed information on your web surfing habits. TACO works by placing "opt-out" cookies into Firefox which prevent the services from targeting you with ads.

It is a pretty drastic tool. TACO will clear-out all of your existing cookies except the 100 it places in Firefox meaning you'll lose a lot of your stored passwords, filled-in-forms, etc.

TACO does give you much greater awareness of which sites are trying to track you however. You can now see how you are being tracked at every website and privacy alerts show you which trackers are active. It also blocks many tracking techniques such and network scripts, widgets and other web bugs.

Some features are still in beta testing such as disposable email generation and other protection tools but these are disabled by default. Finally, the developers claim that they do not track users that install TACO and to encourage confidence in the add-on, they've also issued the source code for all to see.

TACO has become somewhat bloated over the years but its still an excellent away to stop advertising from tracking and targeting you when using Firefox.

RegistryBooster 2011 is a useful tool that will scan your PC for harmful programs and registry errors.

A slow computer can be incredibly annoying to deal with. The causes can be varied, but RegistryBooster 2011 will help ensure that your registry isn't to blame for any sluggishness. Since they're just large databases, registries are highly susceptible to getting out of hand and, over time, becoming disorganized and inefficient. RegistryBooster 2011 aims to reorganize, fix and generally optimize your registry to help make your computer faster in the long run.

RegistryBooster 2011's interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, even if you've never used this type of program before. The main feature is the registry scan button, which will perform a search for problem areas that is quite quick. You will then receive a summary of its findings and can fix whatever is wrong. Unfortunately, the trial version limits you to fixing just 15 problems, but at it least gives you an overview about the registry's current status.

RegistryBooster 2011 allows users who have more of a technical background to configure their own ignore lists. It's also possible to check repair logs and keep track of all the changes applied to the system. Additionally, a backup is automatically created with copies of the registry so that you can restore it to its original state if you need to. Unfortunately, RegistryBooster 2011's configuration options don't go much beyond that.

Although its settings menu is limited, RegistryBooster 2011 is useful for identifying registry errors on your PC.
