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.

As a cycling fan you never miss any race or championship. But what if you could manage your own team? With Pro Cycling Manager it's really easy!

Pro Cycling Manager puts you in control of a complete cycling team with a very clear objective: managing every single aspect of a professional sports team and winning all the competitions you enter. So, if you expected a cycling simulator where you could pedal tirelessly with your keyboard, you're wrong: Pro Cycling Manager is more about the strategic part of cycling, not the racing one.

In Pro Cycling Manager you'll have to decide which competitions to enter, get sponsors to cover expenses, buy and upgrade the equipment for your team and hire the best cyclists in the world. Once the race arrives, Pro Cycling Manager lets you choose between a simulation or a 3D race where you have the chance to manage cyclists as if you were following them from the car.

The graphics Pro Cycling Manager are very realistic and include real cyclists' names and uniforms. On the downside, I missed having more possibilities to take action in the game and thus feel more immersed in the competition.

Manage your own cycling team in Pro Cycling Manager and win the most important cycling competitions in the world.

The game of Sudoku seems to have replaced the humble crossword as the king of bus travel pursuits.

What's more, the way people are playing the game is changing too, and more and more people are using digital incarnations of the game. When you first load Impossible Sudoku you'll probably fall out of your chair when you see the game board.

Unlike the games you get in puzzle books this one has loads and loads of little numbers as well as bigger numbers filled in every square on the grid. It's a little daunting at first but don't worry because these are here to help you. They are actually 'auto marks' that indicate the numbers that are available to enter in a particular square based on the current state of the grid. Don't worry if it's too confusing for you because you can switch the feature off (you can't toggle auto marks, unfortunately and the change will come into effect in the next game).

There are lots of other things you can customize in Impossible Sudoku, and it's actually one of the most impressive number games I've seen in terms of its options. You can undo, redo, mark, check moves, solve the puzzle, and access all manner of statistics. There are five levels of difficulty, and you can even create your own puzzles from scratch.

The presentation of the game is pretty impressive - there's a choice of nine bright, colorful skins and the sound effects that play when you enter numbers are quite cool without being annoying.

In fact, the only thing that really lets the game down is its feeble help system. All you get is a one-paragraph description of the rules and there's nothing in the way of tips and tactics that might help beginners.

Overall though, this is a wonderful simulation of Sudoku.

Fishing beyond my desktop has never really appealed to me but this is one game that's strangely addictive and a lot of fun.

You are basically a pro-fisherman who has to cross the country entering competitions to catch the biggest and juiciest fish to climb up the rankings. The more fish you catch, the more you progress up the rankings but there's plenty of obstacles in store for you such as nasties that swim below the surface, steal your bate and even your rod! It's simple enough for kids to play but it's also got an addictive quality that adults will also, excuse the pun, get hooked on. The graphics are cartoon style and the fish in particularly are beautifully down with some huge bulging eyes that almost pop out of their head when caught. As you become a better fisherman - learning to beat the pelicans before they get to the fish before you - you earn more tokens which you can use to upgrade your boat to something really spectacular. Half the fun is riding around in your boat causing mayhem in fact, especially as you progress to the larger boats.

A highly entertaining game that will have fishing fans hooked and kids enthralled by the sounds and graphics.

Aerial Antics is a curious and original game that challenges you to overcome a series of tests to enter into a circus of aerial acrobatics.

To achieve this objective you control a powerful propulsion backpack that you wear on your back - a jetpack basically. The goal is to reach a certain point - usually a sort of target - but to do so you may have to overcome all kinds of distances. The various levels are also complicated with additional obstacles that can be weather-night, wind, rain or specific challenges that you must overcome. Only by fulfilling all the requirements of the mission can you move onto the next mission. Controlling the jetpack is harder that you might imagine - you have to be very sensitive on the controls which are keyboard based. The best thing about this game is the sheer control you have and the distances you can travel with the pack. The controls are simply the cursors and the spacebar for power and the movements are incredibly realistic. The graphics are designed using "Cell-Shading" techniques which allow you to see the whole scene, as well as the character, in a cartoon animation style.

A great game although the only problems is that the levels are very boring in terms of the scenery as you move through the levels.
