As a regular player of Tiger Woods Golf on the PS3 I was a little reluctant to believe that 3D Nine Hole Golf was actually "the most realistic 3D simulation ever".

It isn't, of course, but it's not a bad effort as far as mobile simulations of the sport go. The graphics aren't amazing but you can make out what's going on OK, and the sound effects are pretty realistic. I also loved the little dance that the players do when they've scored a birdie or an eagle.

The thing that most irritated me about the gameplay was the fact that it was often very difficult to gauge where exactly where the hole is. I then realized that all you need to was use the 'Aim at hole' button and stop the power meter at maximum to get the ball near to the flag. Still, the addition of a zoom-to-flag option would've made this easier on holes where the wind is blowing a lot.

After a just few rounds of 3D Nine Hole Golf you should become quite proficient at it, as the gameplay becomes quite simple as you get used to it. If you fins things becoming too easy though you can always take on up to three of your pals in the game's multiplayer mode.

It may not have the graphical sharpness of its large screen rivals, but 3D Nine Hole Golf is still a whole lot of fun.

Here at Softonic we like nothing more than a game of table-soccer over a quiet drink at the beginning, middle and end of the day, by which time it's usually got quite aggressive and no-one is talking to anyone anymore. Then we leave for the night ready to do the same thing again the next day. Oh how I longed for a day when I could enjoy the fun of table-soccer without having to play with my colleagues. Well, imagine my excitement when I found Master Kick.

This is a bright, fast and very loud version of table-soccer. The graphics, shot from a birds-eye view or blimp for those of you who know about FA Cup final day, are superb and the controls are surprisingly simple to get the hang of. However, I did find it difficult to score and even more challenging to win. Choose a 4-3-3 formation or 3-4-3, 4-3-3 for me always, and watch out for the changeable weather. There are different pitches and even screaming fans. It's a great game this notwithstanding the terribly loud football rave music.

You might not realize it, but mobile phones can make for great musical accompaniments for any tracks you might be producing. I'm not talking about sampling ringtones here, but rather using your device as a digital drum machine.

Little Snazzy Drummer is designed to let you do just that, allowing you to build drum loops and play them through your device. Once you've installed the cab file you can start playing around with beats by clicking on the 'Edit' option. Here you'll find five different drum tracks which, when put together, will form your loop or be used as a metronome to keep you in time.

The drum tracks comprise of Bass, Snare, Closed hat, Open hat, and Rim shot. Each track in the sequence has its own timeline where you can set the intervals at which each will sound, simply by checking or unchecking the boxes that run across the track. The track plays while you're editing, allowing you to easily preview the changes live and tinker with each track to keep the beat. Unfortunately, you can't isolate individual tracks though.

Once you've finished your beat, you simply return to the 'Play' menu and it will loop continuously, accompanied by a picture of a little snazzy drummer (who looks more like a big grotesque monster, if you ask me). It would've been nice if this little guy was animated but I guess you can't have everything.

It may not be the most advanced music production tool in the World, bu Little Snazzy Drummer is a very cool app that will help you create drum beats without any technical knowledge.

I love the fact that I can browse web pages on my mobile phone. However, being the intellectual fellow I am, I often like to read long scientific journal entries or pore over long-winded reports and lectures about modern technology. This causes a problem, in that it takes a long time to read them online and I don't want to stay connected too long. Of course, I could download and save the page, but this then puts a burden on my phone's memory.

Step forward iSilo, a sophisticated reader for viewing HTML documents and text files on your phone. The best thing about the software is that it uses a little trick to make these files as small as possible, saving you space on your device. With the help of its sister-Windows application iSiloX, the program converts documents originally saved as Web pages or text documents into TXT format.

As a pay off for the mighty compression rates offered by iSilo, you unfortunately lose some links in the conversion process. Some graphic formats aren't displayed properly when converted, but fonts and tables remain largely unaltered.

Aside from a few niggly display problems though, iSilo represents a great way of compressing HTML and text documents for viewing on your mobile device.

Mobisy's Spam Manager promises that once downloaded you won't get a single nuisance call or text message ever again, or at least not a spam one anyway. The program is able to intercept all calls and messages it views as spam and block them without you knowing. It does this by secretly and cleverly telling the phone if the number matches one that is listed as spam. It then either blocks the call or directs the message into a separate folder that you don't need to worry about.

The one word of warning with Mobisy's Spam Manager is it does require you to do a lot of the work yourself. When you first use it you can open a folder to see the numbers that the software is blocking and similarly with text messages. But the cover is a bit basic. What it really wants you to do is add numbers to the blocking list, eg those people or companies who keep bothering you. Transfer these numbers to the folder and Mobisy's Spam Manger will reject all their calls. Of course this can be helpful but it's a bit different to spam.

I don't know about you, but I get fed up with the same old ringtones on my phone. Even when I download tones based on well-known tracks I still get irritated after three or four calls.

MusAic is designed to change all that, offering you a way to always ensure you have fresh new tones, while promoting your creativity at the same time. The program allows you to create polyphonic music in any genre using Artificial Intelligence algorithms.

Don't worry, you don't need to be Mozart in order to compose a beautiful ringtone in MusAic. In fact, you don't really need any musical knowledge because the system is largely automated. All you have to is choose a style of music and adjust the 'width' of it using the appropriate sliders, which will automatically generate an original polyphonic ringtone. You can then rate this ditty using another slider. Over time, as you create and rate different tunes, MusAic will start to learn the kind of music you like and will generate similar tones in future.

Once you get used to the rather clunky interface (which is skinable, incidentally), you'll find it pretty easy to start making tunes. You can even export them as MIDI files if you wish. The main problem I had with MusAic though is that it really doesn't feel like you're in control of what you're creating, because all your basically doing is adjusting a couple of slide bars and the software does the rest.

MusAic is fun and easy to use, but ultimately doesn't give you a great deal of creative input.
