Word search games make good learning and fun tools. If you a re a fan of word search games, then you might enjoy this one, WordOMatic.

WordOMatic is a word search game with elements of puzzle and strategy. You are expected to rearrange letters to form words which are then replaced with fresh letters. To make it more interesting as letters grow old, they change color. The object of the game is to use all available letters before they become void. This is an original game belonging to the Word Search genre which includes games like Scrabble, Boggle, and Jumble as well as modern PC games like Bookworm and Text Twist.

WordOMatic is not only an easy game to play, it’s also a good way to learn. The game knows over forty thousand words from three to six letters. You get bonus points for using longer words, and for avoiding repeated words. Like I said it’s real cool way to learn and have fun at the same time. Yeah it is! It knows more than eight hundred words containing the letter X.

The only thing that might be an issue for you about this game is its price. It’s a shareware that costs $19.95. But you can check out the trial version and see if it is worth it. Check it out HERE!

Tibia is a free online RPG (Role Playing Game). You can join guilds, kill monsters, cast spells, make friends and enemies, and generally have a fun time. Ok, I’ve seen better graphics, but at least it’ll run well on low end systems. Some people like the old “Super Nintendo” type graphics anyway.

Gameplay in Tibia is simple, you start out on Rookguard, you go around, kill stuff, etc. Left click to move, right click to use (or bring up a menu with the new controls), pretty basic stuff. Talking is achieved by just typing, there’s no windows you have to select, just type your sentence then press enter. Skills are achieved by doing the particular action.

You want shielding? Equip a shield and get hit. Like swords? Equip one and watch your sword skill grow as you kill more monsters. It’s very simplistic, so you get the idea. This game would appeal most to fans of old school games that were similar to this, except this is online and you can interact with other nerds! : )

Being a 3D expert I’m always keen to hear about new 3D object creation software. I was aware of SketchUp before, but now of course it is a Google product and the engine of choice for making new objects for Google Earth.

The program is a simple but powerful tool for rapid prototyping of objects. Just make the shapes and pull them around in the interface. Colour and texture are easily editable. And also lighting is easy to adjust and preview. In fact real-time shadow casting lets you see exactly where the sun falls on your object as you work.

There are a huge amount of pre-drawn shapes to get you going, so you get a leg up into a job rather than having to start from scratch all the time. Once you’ve built your models, you can place them in Google Earth or post them to the 3D Warehouse.

The program works with both Mac or PC and you can get it here.

You know how it is with computers. When you first start using your shiny new computer, its running fast and smoothly, but a few months later its not so fast or smooth. Installing and uninstalling programs can leave leftovers littered throughout the Windows registry, temporary files can use up valuable space, spyware and adware can sneak onto your system wasting valuable resources as well as invading your privacy and security.

Of course there’s lots of various programs to sort out all these various issues that you, the computer user, has to deal with from time to time. But wouldn’t it be great if there was just one program to help you do it all? That’s what Advanced WindowsCare attempts to do, and judging by some of the positive feedback i’ve seen online, and from using it myself satisfactorily, it’s pretty good indeed at what it claims to do!

It has a decent registry cleaner, spyware/adware detector and immuniser, junk files cleaner, privacy sweep, and system analyzer to help to set your computer run at its peak. All this in a simple to use interface. If you upgrade to the pro version, all this can be set up to run automatically at regular intervals!

But you can download the totally free version and you’ll wonder how you got by without this really useful little program that seems delivers it’s promises.
