Cambriana: House of Tolerance

Monica
Solid and flawless, House of Tolerance embodies why Cambriana is a band that slow rock lovers can depend to. Cambriana is Wassily Brasil, Luis Calil, Pedro Falcão, Heloísa Helena, Rafael Morisha, and Israel Santiago. House of Tolerance was started in pen by Luis Calil in late 2010. By March 2011, Wanderson Meireles joined him and contributed song ideas. Due to different geographical locations, much work was done via the Internet. The project was recorded in September in a home studio. By January 27, House of Tolerance was released boasting ten sonically diverse tracks. Currently, the band is planning on touring throughout the year.

Dream Heights

Frostech
The casual gamer will never be without a smile, as everyday a developer churns out an epic offering for this genre. Dream Heights is just a prime example of this statement. The game is very much on the lines of Farmville, Castleville, Cityville and the likes produced by leading game developer.

PicsArt Photo Studio

Mel
PicsArt Photo Studio is a photo editing app for Android phones. This isn’t as powerful as the desktop version of Adobe Photoshop, but for mobile phones, it packs a punch. Aside from basic photo editing features, there are special effects built in too. For a free app, PicsArt Photo Studio is comparable to paid programs in terms of capabilities. However, the software is not difficult to learn. Icons are used instead of text, keeping the interface tidy. Its notification bar is located under the seven main icons. They are Photo, Camera, My Network, Profile, Gallery, Collage and Draw.

Bebbled

Mel
One of the most exciting Android games around, Bebbled, will have you bursting bubbles in over half a dozen gameplay variations. There over 30 levels too. Each level is different, providing hours of fun. To play the game, you have to match the color of at least two orbs. If you can join up several orbs quickly, you will be able to surpass the preset scores. It sounds basic, but the game actually offers a lot of challenge.
