Maybe summer is not the most appropriate season to practice snowboard, but Project Powder makes it possible – as long as you have a computer with you.

Project Powder is a frenetic snowboard simulator that challenges you to play and compete against people from all over the world, either individually in single races or teaming up with other players in group races. The game also features an extensive social components, including a lobby, chat rooms, instant messages and more.

Unlike other sport simulators, Project Powder is very easy to control. It features a complete tutorial that teaches you the basics of racing, plus a few nice jumps and tricks. Mastering them in order to reach the finishing line in the first place is another story. Also, keep an eye on penguins, rocks, snowplows and other obstacles! As you can see, races in Project Powder are definitely full of surprises.

Project Powder features surprisingly good graphics (at least for a free game), and that counts not only for landscapes and character design, but also for the physics engine, capable of rendering a truly speed sensation while sliding down the mountains.

Being an online game, Project Powder requires an internet connection at all times. But the main drawback, in my opinion, is the game's lengthy installation process.

Project Powder is a challenging, action-packed online snowboard simulator with which you can have fun with people from all over the world.

If you're familiar with the popular game Pro Evolution Soccer, you already know what Pro Evolution Chapping is about.

This original game lets you play soccer the way children in many countries used to play it on the street or during the playground time: using bottle caps as players. Pro Evolution Chapping provides you with a bunch of caps, and your mission consists simply of scoring goals and beating your opponent.

Pro Evolution Chapping is a two-player game only, meaning you can't play against the PC. Plus, it doesn't require installation. The game's options are limited to choosing between full screen or windowed interface (which doesn't work, as it's always displayed in full screen) and selecting the field from an array of different designs.

The gameplay in Pro Evolution Chapping is quite simple: click on the player, select the direction and then click again to move it against the ball. In fact this was the only rule that I had perfectly clear. Though Pro Evolution Chapping is an easy game, it would be great to have a basic tutorial or some instructions included for those who have never played soccer with bottle caps. Other than that, it's a fun, simple game, perfect for a short break.

With Pro Evolution Chapping you can try a different approach to soccer: playing it with virtual bottle caps.

These days of football fever are probably the best time of the year to play KickOff, an original online football game.

KickOff follows the trend of online casual games you can play for free, just by registering a free account on the game's website and downloading the client. This time football (or soccer, if you prefer it that way) is the main subject of the game, but not in the way we're used to seeing it: in a big stadium, with a crowd of people roaring and 22 professional players running after the ball. Kick-off focuses on street football, on those casual matches you play against your friends in the neighborhood.

The game in itself is quite easy to control. There are only three keys for different kinds of pass and shoot, besides the arrow keys to control movement. Graphics don't follow a realistic style, but are based on a more manga-like design instead, using bright, shiny colors and paying a great attention to detail.

KickOff includes three different game modes: a practicing area, free gaming against people from all over the world and a complete league that you can only enter when you obtain the necessary license. This license, together with the so called "tics" (a kind of user points), is obtained by playing matches. Tics will also eventually allow you to acquire new abilities and new items for your player.

The only main drawback to KickOff is its server problems. While testing the game I was disconnected from the game twice, which automatically closes the client as well. I also had some minor lag issues while playing online matches. Hopefully these problems will be solved soon and we can all enjoy an exciting online soccer game for free.

KickOff is an enjoyable online football game with which you can play fun matches againts people from all over the world, though you may have the odd server problem while playing it.

There are many different football videogames to suit all tastes: some like soccer simulators where you get to play actual games on field, while some others prefer a more strategic approach, that is, managing the team as a coach.

The latter will probably like Bygfoot Football Manager, an open-source football management game that puts you in control of a football team during the league season. As a coach/manager, you'll be in charge of training sessions, contracting new players, selling other players and defining team's strategy in order to succeed both in league and other football competitions.

Being an open-source project, you shouldn't expect high-res graphics or amazing physics. In fact, the game barely shows any animations as it's all controlled through windows and menus. However this should not be a problem for hardcore football manager fans who doesn't care that much about the realism of graphics, but about the gameplay in itself. In that sense, Bygfoot Football Manager is going to surely please them.

Bygfoot Football Manager doesn't have brilliant graphics or jaw-dropping physics, but as a classic football manager it proves to be quite complete and very entertaining.

I'm not particularly fond of football but I must admit I had some fun while testing Football Challenge, a simple 3D online football simulator that you can play for free.

Be aware that this is no FIFA or PES. In fact football sim junkies may feel a bit disappointed at the game's simplicity in graphics and controls. Here you won't get the official player names or uniforms – in fact you can customize the team's shirt any way you want. What's more, there are no special moves or button combinations: the arrow keys and two action buttons (kick and pass) is all you need to play. On the other hand, this easy gameplay is what makes the game attractive even for people like me who don't know what an offside is.

Football Challenge includes both offline and online gaming modes. You can play against the computer and also enroll in online tournaments just by filling in a simple form and creating your team right away. The game will automatically find a match partner for you to start playing. Obviously, the more games you win, the higher you'll reach in the player ranking.

Football Challenge is a simple football simulator with support for online games, great for some easy fun but definitely not aimed at hardcore football fans.

I love to go bowling, but unfortunately the prices at my local bowlplex seem to be getting higher and higher by the day, so I don't go as often as I like.

However, as with most pastimes, there are bowling games that you can play without even having to step outside your front door. Bowling PC is one such game, allowing you to take to the allies at one of four virtual bowling clubs.

In terms of its depth, Bowling PC is pretty impressive. You can choose from six different characters, four different clubs and pick from four different types of bowling ball. What's more, there are four different control methods for the game, each radically changing the way you play. Some are more intuitive than others, such as the 'Sim' mode, where you roll your mouse back and forward to control the flight of the ball (you can even make it bounce high in the air!) The Arcade modes are trickier to master and require you to stop power and direction gauges at the right time. It's nice to have these options though, because it keeps your interest in the game alive.

Graphically, the game is well presented, with slick looking menu systems and excellent 3D recreations of the bowling clubs. The animation is fluid enough and you can even change the camera angle using the A, S, Z and X keys.

Despite its wealth of options and plush graphics, there is still something that doesn't feel complete about Bowling PC. Perhaps it's the fact that you don't see the characters bowling the ball, or the lack of satisfying pin-smacking sound effects or cheers when you hit them. Fair enough, you do get a bit of music played when you get a strike, but I didn't feel this was satisfying enough to get me excited about scoring big points.

In terms of its graphics and the number of game modes, Bowling PC is a class act. Unfortunately, it lacks that bit of character and fun that would've turned it from a good game into a great one.

Do you like playing pool or snooker? Then you'll definitely have a great time playing Pool Sharks.

In this simple yet fun pool game you'll be able to play pool or snooker in all their variants against people from all over the world. Pool Sharks only supports online games, which means you don't get any chance to practice before you face a real competitor. On the upside, online games work pretty smoothly, with no lag or connection issues whatsoever. Also, games can be played for real money or fake bets – I'd personally stuck with the latter, at least until you improve your skills.

After registering your free user account, you enter the Pool Sharks lobby where you can see a list with all currently ongoing games, as well as a list with all the available tables you can join for a game. Games can only be played between two players though the game developers apparently plan to include support for tournaments some time in the future. While playing, you can chat with your opponent with the game's built-in IM client.

Pool Sharks includes realistic graphics regarding the pool table and balls, but realism reaches a higher degree when depicting physical movement: it does really feel like hitting a pool ball with your own cue.

In spite of not having offline playing mode, Pool Sharks is still a fun, interesting game for all pool and snooker lovers.

This free ski simulator enables you to slide down snowy slopes in five different tracks in Italy, France, Austria and Switzerland.

FooBillard was originally created for the Linux platform but luckily enough we can now enjoy this Windows version and have fun while playing pool on the computer.

The game doesn't require installation and starts a game right away after being launched. This can be a bit confusing because apparently there is no game menu or any way to change configuration settings. The trick is pressing the Esc key: you'll open the menu and will have access to the game's settings, where you'll be able to choose the type of pool (8-ball, 9-ball, carom or snooker), game mode (single game, tournament or championship), players (either human or computer-controlled) or decide if you want to play a game over the Internet.

FooBillard shows highly realistic physics in the ball's movements and in their reactions when hitting other balls or against the pool table. Despite the game's minimalist design (you only see the table against a dark background) the graphics are certainly impressive. Pity we can't say the same about the soundtrack, which is limited to some noises when the ball hits against something.

Play pool in your computer and enjoy the realistic graphics and physics of FooBillard.

WiniGolf is a simple 3D mini-golf game that you can play either on your own or against some friends on the same computer.

It features a total of 36 holes with slopes, corners and other elements to make them more challenging. Also, you have permanent information about your number of hits and current par on the game's status bar.

WiniGolf certainly doesn't have brilliant graphics but it's perfect for a short break. It's all controlled with the mouse, so it's very easy to play. On the downside, I didn't like the fact that it automatically changes the shooting angle every time you hit the ball – it's really misleading.

Kicks Online is a free-to-play football MMO (Massively multi-player online) developed by emerging Korean designers Entermate. Since it's launch in July 2006, they claim it now has over 300,000 registered users, probably due to the fact that this is a highly playable game with great graphics and provides an interesting variation to normal football.

Kicks Online follows 'street football' rules with the appropriate tactics which involves different ways of passing the ball and various surfaces. Whatsmore, the better a player plays, the more his character's skills improve. Matches can be played 3v3, 4v4 or 5v5 mode and can be played in highly unconventional settings such as roofs or even factories. Kicks

The graphics are outstanding considering this is a totally free game featuring cartoon style 3D scenes and characters. The only drawback is that there can be a serious lag when playing against online opponents although much of this will depend on your internet connection. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that this is a highly enjoyable and immensely fun football simulation.

Fantasy Tennis is a beautifully presented cartoon style tennis game that you'll have hours of fun with. You start by selecting a character to compete against players across the planet and then go on to win as much gold as possible in your quest to be world number one.

You're first taken through a tutorial that teaches you the secrets you'll need to master the game. It does not follow traditional tennis rules however. Games are won over one or two games instead of sets but even better, you can collect objects during the game which give you extra energy and power to win the game. The graphics and cartoon style animations are movements are absolutely first class and it's more like an arcade game than a real simulation.

The most fun is club mode where players can join together in clubs and play against other clubs at certain times. When the club is founded, other players can join depending on the club level. A level 1 club can have a maximum of 5 members and a level 4 club 20 members, etc.

This is a hugely enjoyable animated tennis game with a totally original premise. The only drawback is that there are only a handful of characters to choose from and if this were expanded or opened up to open source developers, it would be game, set and match.

Mini Golf Maniacs is definitely not a professional golf game. That is, don't expect high-tech physics and breath-taking graphics, because that's not the point. The game just wants you to have some relaxed fun while playing mini-golf and it really achieves this aim.
