Overrated and underrated are terms that have been used way too much in recent years that they have lost all meaning and credibility. You might even say that they are overrated! It’s normal these days to open up any popular gaming website and see people commenting on how this game is overrated and this other…
I’ve always been a huge fan of the simulation game, ever since the first flight and trains simulators on early computers and of course the excellent wok of Maxis in this particular field.

Movie streaming is the big thing these days: there are so many people offering content “on demand” that it’s difficult to know where to look.

For those that use their Android tablet to write, for example, I’m sure you’ve experienced the familiar search for an effective word processing app that allows you to write in the most distraction-free way possible. Unfortunately, such apps are few and far between – but they are out there, because we’ve seen! This list is…
We often use browsers and dedicated browser apps these days to surf the web when on the go, but browsers can vary in quality. Most smartphones have a built-in option (Windows Phone for example, will obviously use Bing as a search provider) but the apps store has a few nice alternatives. It seems like there…
