Gem Miner

Gem Miner from Psym Mobile is a strategy game that combines modern gameplay with some old school touches. You are a miner, exploring the underground to find ores and precious stones. Along the way you have to overcome many obstacles. The biggest challenges are the falling rocks and chasms. You also have to avoid getting trapped. You start with basic equipment, but you can make money from the ores and stones you uncover. You can use the cash to buy new equipment and dig deeper.

Mouth’s Cradle: Clark Kent

As if prophesying their own big break, The Next Big Thing became an instant hit for cheeky electro/hip hop and pop duo, Mouth's Cradle. (The boys have easily hit the 100k mark at the Frostclick blog alone. ) They're now back with a brand new record, bringing in tow their brand of lighthearted, sonically arresting and vocally invigorating sound. Composed of Syracuse grads, Kevin "Mouf" Moufadus and Brandon "Master Rogers" Linn; Mouth's Cradle carefully weaves the threads of art and pop as well as hip hop and dance.

AirVideo

iOS and the respective devices are a charm and have a panache of their own, but the biggest downside is the closed ecosystem that they adhere too. Many iOS devices owners have a gripe against the puny video formats that iOS supports and many a times converters burn a huge hole-in-the-pocket. All this changes with AirVideo, an app that takes the media consumption of Apple devices to a new level. AirVideo is developed by InMethod s.r.o. and they have done a fabulous job in every aspect, and this clearly reflects in their very clean, but highly capable app.

Superpoze: The Iceland Sound EP

Twenty year old French instrumentalist, Superpoze is making his second appearance here in the Frostclick blog. His previous album, Lost Cosmonaut, introduced us to his brand of downtempo hip hop inspired tracks. The Iceland Sound EP is his latest effort and it's as exciting as his previous releases. His resident sound is still present. Although this time, he incorporates a more laid-back, chillout style that's both soothing as well as hypnotic.

Big Win Baseball

If you have been hunting for a unique baseball game, look no further than Big Win Baseball, a simulation / strategy game where your goal is to put together the strongest team possible and beat the competition. You start by creating a team; this is going to be unique and you have full control over the composition. Once you’ve assembled the group, you can play against other teams. Like a team manager, you get to see how well (or how bad) the team plays.

Jay McCoy: Truth and Reality

Combining a smooth musical style along with gorgeous vocals, Jay McCoy's brand of music might seem like typical R&B but it's the same reason why it's so likable. This young and up-and-coming singer knows how to create the right hooks and grooves; making her songs stick to you with ease. Truth and Reality was released last August 2011. It's her second full length record and showcases some really catchy tracks that should please any R&B fan.

Extranjero

Whether it’s a coffee break or a quick nap, cancel whatever you’re doing and watch the adrenaline-filled, blood-pumping Extranjero. Shot in just over two days, Extranjero is the first ever winner of the Sundance London Film and Music Festival. It tells the story of refugee running from his past as well as the confusion in his own mind. It’s directed by former flat mates Daniel Lumb and Crinan Campbell better known as The Queen.

Brixton Robbers: Rocks & Cranes

The Brixton Robbers are an energetic punk ska band from Quebec,Canada. Adding a whole lot of rock attitude to their resident sound, the group comes in loud and proud; churning in one energetic performance after another. Rocks & Crane is the band's first full album. It's a bit late as it was released back in 2009 and four years after the band initially got together. They weren't sitting idle in those four years though. The band in fact played more than 200 songs in between, apart from creating/recording tracks to be used in the record.

App 2 SD

Android is one of the leading smartphone platforms and there is no doubt about it, and the ever-growing Android Market just leaves the user spoilt with choices. Apps ranging from casual-free games to hardcore 3D console action, and utility apps that just make life a whole-lot easier. The biggest drawback being the storage-space. All the apps, once installed, get saved in the phone memory and not on the expandable one, taking up to much space off the already limited phone storage. Here comes in the life-savior (memory-savior), App 2 SD.
