Not just a battle Not just a battle I seldom find a game so appealing, so cute, so smooth that instead of savoring it slowly, I binge play it for hours on end, only to force myself to take a break and do something else.

By the power of MPlayer A simple video player based on MPlayer can't ever disappoint. Except when users expect more than the ability to play any file. Seamless seamless integration is not the name of the game here. Let's examine. Starbuck ain't picky Starbuck's FreePlayer is running MPlayer and MPlayer2 in the background.

Run-of-the-mill ccg Collectible card games have become more prevalent in the digital realm since Since the popular spin off, HearthStone came out. Not to say that Magic: The Gathering Online didn't contribute. However, unlike Hearthstone, the free kind of CCG's (which include Animation Throwdown) have a very annoying feature and which I will address in a jippy. The...Continue to app
