Legend of Grimrock 1.1.1-A fantastic modern take on Dungeon Master
*Legend of Grimrock* is a modern take on role playing classics like Dungeon
Master, Eye of the Beholder or Chaos Strikes Back. Four heroes fight their
way out of a maze like dungeon. You'll fight monsters and overcome deadly
traps along the way. In Legend of Grimrock, four prisoners have been exiled
to Mount Grimlock, for crimes they 'may or may not have committed'. You will
guide these criminals through the hidden dungeons of Grimlock, level by
level, to escape. There are four races to choose from, which can be given
different classes, skills and abilities. Although Legend of Grimrock is a
real time RPG, movement is grid based, as if you and the monsters are pieces
on a board game. This movement feels strange, but is refreshing. Because
everything moves in real time, combat is really unusual, but also very
tactical. The puzzles are pretty complex, but the hardest are usually not
essential for making progress in the game. Legend of Grimrock has in game
maps, but for the masochists among you, you can play 'old school' mode, which
has no maps. This means you'll have to draw out your own maps as you
progress, just like in the 80s! *If you like puzzles, dungeons and a
challenge, Legend of Grimrock is essential. It's a fantastic modern update of
an almost totally neglected genre, and well worth playing.*Download *Legend

Soundflower 1.6.2.1-Allow different applications to access your soundcard
Have you ever wanted to enable an application to access your soundcard or
interact with another application via the soundcard? *Soundflower* is a free
audio system extension that allows applications to pass audio to other
applications. Soundflower emulates the interface of an audio device but
allows any audio application to send and receive audio with no other support
needed. It opens as one of two audio devices (2ch/16ch). For most people and
needs, the 2-channel device is sufficient. If you want an application to
interact with another application via the soundcard, select Soundflower as
the output device in the first application and Soundflower as the input
device within the second application. If an application does not allow you to
specify audio devices, you can make Soundflower the default input or output
device inside the *Sound panel in the System Preferences*, or with the *Audio
MIDI Setup utility application* which is the only slightly tricky part. You
may hear interference at first when you setup an audio channel and if so, the
developers recommend increasing the buffer size of both applications (set
within each application). Note that if more than one application is sending
its output to the same channel, the audio will be mixed. The practical usages
of Soundflower include conducting interviews with both voices. So instead of
recording an interview with Skype and only hearing one voice, Soundflower
allows you to record both voices for a more professional production.
Alternatively, it's useful for routing audio from applications such as iTunes
and Spotify to other applications and devices. Note that this download is for
OS X 10.5.8+. You can also download the OS X 10.4 compatible version (Version
1.4.3).. *Soundflower is a remarkably effective and free audio routing
solution.*.Download *Soundflower 1.6.2.1* in Softonic

Pinta 1.0-A simpler alternative to GIMP
*Pinta* is a neat drawing and editing tool inspired by Paint.NET, which aims
to work as an simpler, easier-to-use alternative to GIMP. This means you
shouldn't expect Pinta to be some kind of open source Photoshop clone. It
does include some interesting features like *support for layers*, unlimited
*undo and redo*, and a bunch of special *filters and effects* to spice up
your images – but its nothing like a serious photo editor. It does,
however, include a nice selection of drawing tools that can make Pinta a good
choice as photo editor. According to Pinta's developer, the program is still
at an early stage of development – which may be the reason why some of its
tools are not available yet. In any case, Pinta does look promising, so we'll
keep an eye on this handy little editor as it grows. *Pinta is a simple

Hydro Thunder Hurricane Metro App 1.0-Make waves with this arcade style racer
*Hydro Thunder Hurricane* is an arcade-style racer where you pit yourself
against a sea of boats in constantly changing environments. While there
aren't many games out for Windows 8 yet, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is a good
preview of what to expect from Windows 8 gaming. By default, Hydro Thunder
Hurricane is set to use *touch and motion controls*. There are virtual
buttons for turning, acceleration, braking, and turbo boosting. You can
choose between using *touch*, *game pad*, or *keyboard* in the settings. It's
good to have all those options. Being a Microsoft Studios product you can
expect *Xbox LIVE integration* where you can view leaderboards and play with
your friends. Unfortunately, this early preview version *doesn't have any
mutliplayer modes*. Hydro Thunder Hurricane only has a single player mode and
only offers two tracks and two boats. Graphics and gameplay for Hydro Thunder
Hurricane are very good. It looks impressive with splash graphics and motion
blur during turbo boosts. Game play is very fun, with *dynamic environments*
that constantly change. There are even police boats to chase you and your
opponents. There are plenty of items to pick up and unlockables in Hydro
Thunder Hurricane to keep game play interesting. *Overall, Hydro Thunder

Inrix Traffic Metro App 1.0-Worldwide traffic at your fingertips
*Inrix Traffic* brings live traffic to Windows 8. While the default Windows
Maps application in Windows 8 works fairly well for looking up addresses and
getting directions, its traffic feature left much to be desired. Inrix
Traffic brings a more *fleshed-out traffic interface* for Windows 8 tablets.
It shows the traffic on *surface streets*, something that Windows Maps
doesn't do. Intrix Traffic has a *snappy interface* with maps that draw and
redraw quickly. When browsing the map in Intrix Traffic, there are icons
which indicate the type of traffic congestion around the area. For example, a
cluster of cars will indicate some traffic slowdown, while a caution symbol
will indicate road closures or traffic accidents. Inrix Traffic also takes
into account events that can affect traffic and provides a useful *traffic
forecast*. While Inrix Traffic is great for glancing at traffic conditions,
it *doesn't provide search or directions*, which is a major bummer as they
are available on the mobile apps for iPhone and Android. We would like to see
a search feature and integration with a service like Yelp to look up
businesses. *While Inrix Traffic is good for browsing traffic conditions, it

Macrium Reflect 5.0.4432 Free Edition-Create exact images of your hard drive
Backups are not the only resource you have left when you're hit by computer
disasters. Disk images are an alternative choice. With *Macrium Reflect* you
now have access to a free disk imaging solution (which is not that common
unfortunately) that enables you to create a perfect mirror image of your hard
drive. This means that, in case your computer suddenly "dies", you can always
bring it back to life by restoring the disk image you previously created with
Macrium Reflect. Of course, disk images don't make sense if you store them on
the same hard drive you're copying, so you'll need to use an extra storage
device (external or not) or a networked drive to save your mirror image.
Macrium Reflect is very easy to use because it lets you create images via an
assistant that guides you through the whole process in just a few simple
steps. What doesn't seem that easy is the scheduled backup tool: it works
with XML template files and novice users will surely find it confusing. Also,
Macrium Reflect lets you create rescue disks, but unfortunately only for
Linux, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. *If you care about the safety of
your documents, take a moment to create a mirror image of your hard drive

*FileMenu Tools* is a great addition to your context menu and a tool that

FileMenu Tools takes this menu a little further, adding a whole *bunch of

allows you to *create your own actions*. These range from copying, moving and
deleting files and folders to changing file attributes and emailing a file to

with the program, when renaming files for example, and if you want to do
serious reconfiguration or add your own commands, you'll have to open the
main FileMenu Tools window. Here you can modify any of the options, removing
the actions you don't use, re-ordering the ones you do and creating sub-menus
and separators. Adding your own commands to FileMenu Tools is a little
complicated, but there's a good help file that will get you moving towards
the more advanced functions. *FileMenu Tools is an excellent tool for users
