A while back I wrote about World Championship Snooker for Android. It’s a great game for any snooker fan, but it’s a little too realistic and it isn’t free. So what if you want a fun, quick to pick up pool game that’s also free? Well, enter Miniclip’s 8 Ball Pool. I’ve been meaning to write about this app for quite some time as it is a really simple, yet brillia... »

The original Half-Life and Counter-Strike 1.6 have just gone beta. So that means that whilst they ... »
I’m sure I’m not the only 90′s child reading this post that had the massively popular keychain pet, Tamagotchi. If however, you are not a 90′s child and you thought that Tamagotchi was some kind of rare sushi then I will explain what it was… The Tamagotchi was a digital pet that fit right in your pocket; and as it’s incredibly mature 10 year old owner,... »
