   Review - Aneesoft Free PSP Video Converter

   2.0.0.0 (Jun 19, 2009)

   For crying out loud, THIS ISN'T FREEWARE, for the tenth time this week. Is the BN team retarded or these questionable web-companies simply looking for free advertising space?

   Review - Piggly

   1.11 (Jun 17, 2009)

   As an ex hardcore gamer and now casual player, this game fares like this to me:
   
   + Extremely cute
   + Extremely easy to learn but..
   + ..quickly requires both brains and practical skill to complete levels
   + Nice score and sounds
   + Quick loading times
   + Visually very appealing to the eye
   + Smooth and actually high-quality animations
   + Those piglets are too damn cute!
   + Lots of secrets on each level (try jumping up the trees in the first level for example. I would never have guessed!)
   + Great level design
   + Has a lot more to it than simply rolling apples
   + Trying to bounce the apples on your head all the way to the home is a pretty entertaining challange
   + Bonus levels with other goals than to collect apples
   + Unlockables via challanges
   + Sure beats Gears of War 2
   
   - Piggly can die!
   - Butt-ugly rabbits
   - Can feel too crowded in some places due to really compact sections of levels
   - An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but all those sweets sure make me reconsider this as a good game for kids
   - The function to kick apples more gently by holding down the space-bar key doesn't seem to work
   
   Think Donkey Kong with pigs and more rolling apples than rolling characters.

   Review - Trillian Astra

   4.0.0.110 Beta (Jun 16, 2009)

   You had a point with that Duke Nukem remark there. This app is dead before it's out of beta because of the many great website-services that does what Trillian does and more with more intuitive interfaces and that are entirely free forever. No video or audio application beats Skype in terms of quality for that matter so why anyone would pay for this is just another laugh.

   Review - Monster 2 for Windows

   1.0 RC1 (Jun 15, 2009)

   Original and interesting story! The music is great. Reminds me of the first and only Final Fantasy game that didn't suck; Mystic Quest, which i never beat but played from the beginning over and over because of the rich yet simple story alone. After that one they just went bloated with characters and waaayy too big worlds. So keep it nice and tight with Monster!

6. Comment - Windows 7: Obviously I've struck a nerve

   Well analyst opinion-type articles obviously strike nerves. Wall Street Journal. Facts and nothing else. Love it. Why can't software-news be the same? It CAN. It's just nobody who wanted to try it yet.
   
   I have never expected any article-writers to respond to any readers. What's the point? You shouldn't have to. I don't see the point with comments at all here since this is supposed to be about news. Not about debating.
   
   We want facts. Who cares about your opinion? This isn't your personal blog, Carmi. It's your professional job. If you separate them, you won't struck nerves and you won't have to ponder about whether or not you "pleased" your readers.

   And this is why i can't stand reading news here anymore (the title says it all.) Official writers of a major news site who all write with a personal (and different) opinion is bad enough, but that they actually care so much about what readers say about their articles that they feel like they have to cool things down afterwards, and show it off at the very top, center of the site, makes it feel uncomfortably too much like they consider this their personal rant-blog rather than professional job.

    Jesus, don't You guys have anything better to do? Why spend time writing a 500-character long comment about how unimportant something is? None of You are right simply because You can't tell what's gonna happen in the future, even if the companies themselves say what they expect! The things people do to impress others...
