BallDroppings is a free downloadable game. The object of the game is to.,.well, there isn’t any really.

Balls drop down from the top left corner of the screen and you’re able to draw lines with the mouse that they then bounce against. When they bounce they make a sound, depending on how fast they’re moving when they hit the line. Soon you have lots of ‘musical’ sounds playing as you continue drawing lines to catch and deflect the bouncing balls. You can also control some thing by keyboard such as deleting lines and clearing your balls!

It’s an unusual game: ‘experiment in sound’ depending on your perspective of this kinda thing, but amusing and strangely addictive for at least a few minutes!

Drop over to here for further info and to download it.

Can someone please explain to me why this Line Rider game is so addictive? I can’t figure it out, all you do it draw a line and let some little sled rider loose on the curves you draw.

At first you draw lines which are impossible for him to slide down without either wiping out, smashing himself or his sled, losing the sled altogether, or worse still just sliding to a stop somewhere and not falling anywhere. You become devious, a student of the correct way to draw the perfect slope, but almost always something comes along to scupper the little chap’s chances.

Great festive fun.

ColorTetris works well with all Windows Operating Systems but it requires at least Direct X 7.0 to work effectively.

The only downside to this game is that you have be a tetris fan to appreciate the game. If you are not a tetris fan, you may not enjoy the game despite the nice graphics and background music.

Having always been a fan of one of the most ageless games in the world, TETRIS; I was itching to see if anyone could come up with a Tetris – styled game that would be totally different. BoXiKon did that for me.

BoXiKoN is a logic based puzzle game of strategy and forward thinking. The game obviously belongs to the Tetris family of shape games, but it really is quite different. There is a large emphasis on planning, organization and selection and less on arcade style quick reactions.

There is also a version for available for Mac users.

This is a really cool program i found that gives you virtual driving lessons, complete with virtual driving instructor! It’s based on driving in Europe, so left side of car and driving on the right! At least that was the case in the version I tried although i think they have other versions, but the site is a little confusingly laid out. Don’t let that put you off though. This is a very good program and you almost feel like you’re really driving,as you have to pay attention or you’ll break the rules of the road or even cause an accident!

In the version i played around with, you can choose from 4 driving instructors,
three car cockpits, three motorbike cockpits (Hornet, Scooter and a cool Chopper). It starts at beginner level with basics such as indicating and stopping at traffic lights, giving right of way, etc, all the way up to…well almost real life conditions!

I had the pleasure (and pain) of going on a road trip across Europe not so long ago, so i can say that the scenery and experience is pretty accurate in some ways! I’d recommend this for anyone learning to drive or planning on driving in Europe. It’ll give you a good chance to become familiar with the various rules of the road! All from the safety of your chair! (Seatbelt not included)

Every once in a while i come across a unique program that promises to teach a useful skill,through the magic of some well thought out yet simple technique. This is one such program.

Speed reading is simply the ability to read very fast by learning to scan the words rather than thinking about them or pronouncing them in your head. I’m not sure how well this works if you have something important to read as scanning things doesn’t really focus your attention on them, but anyway!

Acereader uses two techniques, Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (R.S.V.P.) and Tachistoscopic Scroll Presentation (try saying or even reading that 3 times!!!). It’s pretty easy to use, you can open any text file inside it or copy and paste. It has different grades from beginner to advanced and you’ll be amazed at how naturally you read fast using the method of having the words appear and scroll in front of you. It’s won a bunch of awards as you can see here for being “best educational software”, so it’s not as crazy as it sounds!

Go check out the demo and a lot more detailed info here.
