   <title><![CDATA[Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters]]></title>
   <link>http://tiger-woods-pga-tour-12-the-masters.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Golf</strong> has one of the longest video game histories in terms of simulation, going back to the mid-80s with games like Leaderboard. For many years now EA's PGA series has been the top golf title available, and with <strong>Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters</strong>, all those years of innovation and experience have been brought together to make a really impressive package.</p><p>The area Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters fails to impress is in its interfaces, which feel old fashioned. But get behind them, and you have perhaps the most complete PGA game ever. For the first time the Augusta Masters Tournament has been included, having been laser scanned inch by inch, to give you an unparalleled game on the venerable course. The focus on pristine reconstruction of courses can make courses look almost hyper-real, over perfect. Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters has a clean-cut feel to it that fits perfectly with the sport, offering a deep golfing experience with all the relaxation you'd expect from such a sedate sport.</p><p>You can choose to play as one of over 20 professional golfers, or create your own. There is not as much creative freedom allowed as you might find in the Smackdown wrestling series, but then a shiny purple golfer in trunks would upset the atmosphere! Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters adds a new Caddy feature, great for less experienced players, which gives you assistance and advice as you play.</p><p><strong>Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters will no doubt be improved next year, but for now it's simple the most complete, and fun golf game available. Packed with features and accessible to beginners as well as satisfying experts, it's the essential golf experience.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters" href="http://tiger-woods-pga-tour-12-the-masters.en.softonic.com"><strong>Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12: The Masters</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>Are you a fan of <strong>WWE Raw</strong>? If you like the TV show, you're going to get a love the PC <a title="Combat games on Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/combat">game</a>, the WWE Raw game that’s sure to keep wrestling fans on the edge of their seats.</p><p>The <strong>WWE Raw graphics are really impressive</strong>. From the adrenaline-filled opening to the pumping music and excellent crowd details, the whole thing is impressive from the moment it starts. The wrestling itself doesn't let the game down either - it's believable and doesn't lose any detail during gameplay, although the moves available are limited.</p><p>Unfortunately, the WWE Raw trial version is really restricted: you can only try one out of the four game options and only two <strong>WWE superstars</strong> are available, The Rock and Kane. Menus and options aren't well designed, so even though the game graphics are great, actually figuring out how to play or exit isn't so easy.</p><p><b>WWE Raw - great graphics and music are brought down by a limited trial and uncomfortable options.</b></p><p>Download <a title="WWE Raw Demo" href="http://wwe-raw.en.softonic.com"><strong>WWE Raw Demo</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Sumotori Dreams 1.02]]></title>
   <link>http://sumotori-dreams.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Sumotori Dream</strong> is a Windows sumo wrestling game starring giant robots. Sumo wrestling isn't a sport that many <strong><a title="Combat Games on Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/combat">combat games</a></strong> developers choose to make simulations of. Based on the gameplay in Sumotori Dreams perhaps it's time they did.</p><p>The characters in this excellent 3D game aren't actually real sumo wrestlers, rather robotic characters made out of blocks. The object of each bout in Sumotori Dreams is to knock down your opponent before you fall yourself. This is easier said than done due to the clumsy way that the blocky wrestlers stagger around as if they're drunk.</p><p>The key when you play Sumotori Dreams seems to be to get in early and push the other fighter before you inevitably topple over yourself. You score a point for each knock down and the first to five points is declared the winner.</p><p>Incredibly, Sumotori Dreams weighs in at just 96Kb in size. This is particularly hard to believe given the slickness of the animation, the realistic game physics, the uber-cool lounge music soundtrack, and the various lighting options you can choose between. There's even a two player mode where you and a pal can tough it out on the same keyboard. Oh, and there's an awesome hidden game mode lurking inside Sumotori Dreams (I'll leave it to you to discover it, though).</p><p>Playing Sumotori Dreams gave me the biggest laugh I've had from a game in ages, and it's hard to fault it all. Perhaps in a future release they could add different fighters with different special abilities.</p><p><strong>On seconds thoughts, that might take away the simplistic magic of Sumotori Dreams, which is a charming little game.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Sumotori Dreams 1.02" href="http://sumotori-dreams.en.softonic.com"><strong>Sumotori Dreams 1.02</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[FotoWall 0.6]]></title>
   <link>http://fotowall.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/73000/73812/SNAG-0006.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>Google has always been great at coming up with new ideas to fill a gap in the Internet or software market. Its latest creation, FotoWall is designed to help you quickly produce photo montages, which you can use as desktop backgrounds.</p>
<p>The first thing you'll notice about FotoWall is its quirky user interface, which is one of the most cumbersome of any consumer imaging app I've seen. Adding photos can only be done by dragging and dropping them onto the interface, and unless you know that beforehand you'll spend about 10 minutes looking for an 'Add image' button, trying to right-click to open some kind of menu, or hovering the mouse over various parts of the screen for clues. Oh yeah, there's no help menu either.</p>
<p>Once you've eventually sussed out how to put the photos into FotoWall, they can be resized and rotated using the green and red buttons that appear on the bottom of each picture. Try changing the background gradient color or the text color and you're transported back into a world of pain as you wrestle with the randomly-located pop-up palettes that seem to have a life of their own.</p>
<p>When you've finished creating your collage in FotoWall you can render it out as a PNG, choosing your compression level ready to set it as your desktop background. The results are generally uninspiring though, due to the limited control you have over the editing of the document (for instance, you can't even change the horrid default font). </p>
<p><strong>Google is renowned for creating great apps. Unfortunately FotoWall is not one of them.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="FotoWall 0.6" href="http://fotowall.en.softonic.com"><strong>FotoWall 0.6</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/77000/77555/sandbox00.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>I'm sure many videogame players have considered creating their own game at some point. The problem is having the necessary knowledge for this kind of project.</p>
<p>With Platinum Arts Sandbox things just got a bit easier. With this visual, intuitive editor you can take your first steps in the world of game development without having to wrestle with endless lines of indecipherable source code.</p>
<p>Platinum Arts Sandbox doesn't require installation - you simply unzip the archive in a folder and you can run the program straight away. The first time you launch it you'll be presented with a short tutorial about the main features and functions, and then you're left on your own.</p>
<p>The program includes a few custom maps you can use to gather ideas, check what kind of games you can create or even as template to start creating your own. Platinum Arts Sandbox runs quite smoothly and I'm sure it's a lot easier than coding a game from scratch, but it still requires you to devote some effort – and above all, loads of time – if you want to obtain good results. In fact I'm surprised the program is meant to be used by kids!</p>
<p><strong>If you've always wanted to create your own videogame, take a look at Platinum Arts Sandbox, a 3D game creation platform with an intuitive visual environment.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Platinum Arts Sandbox 2.3" href="http://platinum-arts-sandbox.en.softonic.com"><strong>Platinum Arts Sandbox 2.3</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[PPLive 1.9.21]]></title>
   <link>http://pplive.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>PPLive</strong> lets you watch free television from across the world on your PC, including live sport, live news, the latest episodes of top dramas and comedies, and a host of brand new movie blockbusters.</p><p></p> When you first encounter PPLive you'll realize that the whole user interface is in Chinese. Don't panic too much because there is a way to change this into English.</p><p>Right-clicking on the fourth option from the bottom (the one that looks like a squiggle) you're presented with the chance to change the interface into English.</p><p></p> The list of streaming feeds in PPLive is pretty comprehensive, and although many are in Chinese, it’s possible to dig around and find some great programs such as Desperate Housewives, English Premiership football games, American Idol, WWE wrestling, and a host of new films .</p><p></p> Clicking on the link in the ‘Currently’ category on the PPLive listings page brings up the schedule of programs for that particular channel for the day, although many repeat the same show or movie all day.</p><p>You can also search channels by category, such as sports, movies, news, cartoons, etc. </p> The task of finding western movies and shows with PPLive is made all the more tricky by the Chinese-to-English translations of the programs, which can be a little baffling until you get used to it.</p><p>To give you some clues to start with: Friends is known as ‘Six person of like’; Desperate Housewives becomes ‘Crazy Housewives’, and Brokeback Mountain is curiously known as ‘Breaks arm mountain.</p><p>’</p> Clicking on a show in PPLive will open your media player and begin playing the show or film from the start. You can choose to use the built-in media player (which is rather limited in features), or open in <taglink type="program" country="en" id="9497">Windows Media Player</taglink> or <taglink type="program" country="en" id="11477">Real Player</taglink>.</p><p></p> PPLive uses P2P technology to share TV shows, so the more people are online the faster and more reliable the access will be, and we were pleasantly surprised by the speed in which most of the streams are buffered and the quality of the video.</p><p></p> <strong>Although it's about as easy to use as a rubber saw, PPLive is certainly worth investing a bit of time and patience in if you want to watch TV for free online.</p><p>Download <a title="PPLive 1.9.21" href="http://pplive.en.softonic.com"><strong>PPLive 1.9.21</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Yahoo! Music Jukebox 2.0.2.049]]></title>
   <link>http://yahoo-music-jukebox.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Please note that this program has been discontinued and can no longer be used to listen to streaming music.</strong></p><p>With iTunes streets ahead of the rest of its rivals, Yahoo! is revving up its engine in a bid to catch up with the uber-popular music player and download service.<br />Make no mistake about it, Yahoo! Music Jukebox is the search company’s attempt to wrestle the lucrative music download business from Apple’s clutches – and it’s not a bad effort either.</p><p>Billed as a complete music management system, the application allows you to organize your music collection, create playlists and access music downloads and streams from the well stocked Y!<br />Unlimited portal. It pulls this off through an attractive, easy-to-use interface that looks and feels like the lovechild of iTunes and MusicMatch Jukebox.</p><p>Out of Beta and now with iPod support (apart from the Nano and Shuffle versions), Yahoo! Music Engine surprisingly does some things even better than its Apple-built rival.<br />Adding music to playlists is much simpler for instance, because you can drag and drop tracks directly from your library into the playlist without having to open a new window.</p><p>However, the biggest differences between the two apps arise in the integration of their respective download services. The Yahoo! Music Jukebox brings the online service and the client app together much tighter than iTunes does.<br />Some of the cooler features include the ability to create personalized LAUNCHcast radio stations, build playlists based on these personal preferences, and the ability to share songs and playlists via Messenger or email.</p><p>As with iTunes, streaming music is limited to 30 seconds per song, although registered Yahoo! members qualify for a free 7-day membership trial of Y!Unlimited. This entitles users to play every song in its entirety during this week – a tantalising prospect when you realize there are more than a million different tracks to choose from.</p><p>However, the deal becomes less appetizing when you realize you need to enter your credit card details to qualify for the trial, and unless you cancel, the company will start plucking five dollars a month from your account.<br />What’s more, becoming a registered user only entitles you to a meagre saving on paid downloads – 79 cents per song (it’s 99 cents for non-members).<br />As you’d probably expect from a big-brand internet firm, the service is riddled with adverts for itself and other Yahoo! services, sometimes subtly and sometimes annoyingly in-your-face.<br />Even if you’re just using the player to spin tracks and organize your MP3 collection, you’re still forced to install Yahoo! Messenger and Yahoo!<br />Toolbar as part of the bloated software installation. <br /> Given the swollen nature of the software and the fact that the player is so similar to iTunes it’s hard to see why anyone would want to switch over from the Apple software to Yahoo!<br />Music Jukebox. Having said this while we’ve now uninstalled the app and removed its far-reaching tentacles from our machine, there are enough novel features to make this program worth checking out.</p><p>Download <a title="Yahoo!

IE has also finally decided to support tabbed browsing. It includes a ‘New tab’ button for instant opening, plus an ingenious ‘Quick Tabs’ button, which opens up thumbnail previews of all your opened tabs in one screen and, unlike Firefox, IE 7 actually has a close button on each tab.</p><p>You can even save groups of tabs as your homepage so they all launch upon start-up. We also appreciated the print preview tool, which adjusts the page according to your paper size.</p><p></p> IE 7 has improved the way it integrates RSS. Whenever you come across a site that supports RSS, the icon in the toolbar will turn its characteristic orange.</p><p>Click on it and you will be lead to a page that reveals all the feeds for that website. Just click on the “subscribe to this feed” link to add it to your favourites.</p><p>You can also subscribe by clicking on the small star icon on the left. Unlike Firefox however, there’s no drop down view of each item in a feed.</p><p>The Favorites Center, opened up by clicking on the big star icon, is divided into favourites, feeds and history. </p> Security is usually one of the characteristic weak spots of IE.</p><p>Apart from a pop-up blocker, version 7 also dishes out an anti-phishing filter. To give it a try, we opened up known phishing sites published on <a href="http://www.</p><p>phishtank. com/" rel="nofollow">Phishtank</a>. To our disappointment, the filter failed to report most of them. Phishing protection may not be IE 7’s strength but at least the browser incorporates security protocols SSL 2.</p><p>0 and 3. 0 and TLS 1. 0, just like Firefox. </p> For all its improvements, IE is still far from perfect. Like Firefox, IE fails to pass the Acid2 Test and does not even support the latest standards.</p><p>We found IE to lag and drag whenever opening up new tabs, the tools section and applying new settings. You can add a good number of search bar providers and add-ons from the <a href="http://www.</p><p>ieaddons. com" rel="nofollow">Microsoft website</a>, however they are still in much fewer number compared to the Mozilla extensions for Firefox.</p><p>Furthermore, IE 7 is actually limited to those of you that have XP SP2 and for some reason you will need to disable your antivirus and restart your PC to properly install it.</p><p>Download <a title="Internet Explorer 7" href="http://ie7.en.softonic.com"><strong>Internet Explorer 7</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>
