Chrome Apps: Pixlr Editor 

Have you ever wanted to edit your photos or draw a picture with your digital tablet but couldn’t afford Photoshop or paint sai tool? Now you can with the Google chrome app “Pixlr Editor.”  This application isn’t the best of its kind, but works for the basic use much like MS-paint. Granted this application is much more powerful than MS-paint, but let’s go down the line of things it could have done better, and why the application may be good for you.

The interface will remind you of Photoshop right off the bat if you have used it before. It offers a navigator that allows you to see what your image looks like at a micro view (which some digital artists use the most to get a faraway distance view...

Chrome Apps: Episode 1 (YTVD) 

 

 

While browsing through the Chrome Web Store I found the app “YouTube Video Deck”. It looked pretty interesting so I decided to take a closer look at it. I downloaded the app and started to mess with it. Through the screenshot that was provided at the app store, it was a column based design similar to tweet deck. I didn’t know if the app was for the content feed or just the videos. I will say this much, I was thoroughly impressed with the YouTube Video Deck.

Web Game Review: absOrb HD

Today, I'm reviewing absOrb HD from EffectGames.com.

In absOrb, you use your cursor and hover over the falling orbs of the same color as your ring(or cursor).  You use the keyboard keys to change the color of your ring to get corrisponding circles. The keyboard keys that you press to change the ring color are the 1-4 numerial keys.  If you find a falling Google Chrome orb, just hover over that and for a few seconds you can hover over circles of any color.

I really like how the game is laid out.  It is very addicting and fun to play at the same time.  I've spent lots of time playing it and find it very fun to play.  Another reason I like it is the wonderful graphics.  The graphics are good quality and very vivid.  It gives the game a great look and feel all around.  It's also completely HTML5 which I like that as well because it makes it very fast and modern.

You can play it here and be sure to check out EffectGames for other web games as well!  It is also available in the Chrome Web Store here.

My Rating: 9.5/10

Angry Birds for Google Chrome

Angry Birds is now available for Google Chrome in the Chrome app store. This game is just like the regular Angry Birds for mobile devices. The game is still in the beta stage and only has two level packs so far, but it says that more are coming soon.

EDIT: You can play Angry Birds on any web browser that supports HTML5 (Safari 5, Firefox 4, Chrome 11, IE9). Click here to play it now!

Do you think it's a good idea to have Angry Birds available on the computer?
