Jaws Revenge

Mel
Jaws: Revenge is the sequel to the successful Jaws iOS game. This one takes all the fun in the first game and ups it several notches. This time, Fuse Powered Inc allows you to play the shark, destroying boats, and of course, tearing, shredding and eating hapless human beings and seagulls. The goal is simple: try to rise from the ocean depths and cause as much pain and destruction as possible. The game controls are very simple. Pressing and holding the screen causes the shark to dive. Let it go to send the creature up. It will go into the air, smashing boats, barges, lands, places and people. When the shark gets to eat, expect blood and gore to fly.

Jay Fraser: Buildings of Dreams

Valerie
After packing his bags and leaving his hometown (Launceston in Australia), Jay Fraser carved a path where music takes center stage. He left for Europe and pursued his musical career, recording this delightful acoustic folk pop compilation. Getting help from Richard Campbell of Orpheus Studio as well as long time friend, Tim Downey; he was able to turn the highs and lows of his experience into 10 solid tracks. The album took four months to record and gave the singer a chance to showcase his blues inspired, acoustic folk cuts and share it with his listeners.

Without a doubt, Pinterest is one of the most popular apps for the iPhone and iPad. It is also now on the Android and already managed to take in a large following. Basically a social photo sharing application set up pinboard-style, Pinterest allows a user to share what they like with others. You can also browse other people’s boards.

After going through the simple setup, tap some images and you can let the program choose those to follow. You can immediately browse the pins.

0.A.D.

Mel
When it comes to free real time strategy games, 0AD by Wildfire Games is one of those that stand out. Although under heavy development, the game is already very playable. Like other RTS games, you have to manage resources, build an army and manage an economy. There are six civilizations: the Carthaginians, Romans, Celts, Hellenes, Persians and Iberians. Each one has strengths and weaknesses. When you play the game, the resources are displayed at the screen bottom. The mini-map is at the left. To select all units nearby, double click. You can assign units to perform tasks like building structures. Of course you can order them to attack the enemy.
