A new launcher for your Android

The launcher in Android is like a desktop manager and my preferred one is GO Launcher EX.

With this launcher you can create folders in your app drawer, order apps, resize widgets, use themes and so on.

Very useful the option that removes the black background in the icon label and the 3 view modes in the app drawer (All, Recent, Running).

Only one comment: awesome.

Take a look, it's free:

After the installation the application asks you to replace the old default launcher (like "Home 2.2.1" in Froyo etc...). In this way when you restart your phone this launcher is used by default.

Enjoy it!

You can play it in your Windows Seven OS too (32 or 64bit, no problem).

I have too many games paused now to play this one too. :-P
Next time, added in the playlist.

Think of the consequences!

Prince of Persia

This isn't Altair from Assassin's Creed, it's only the special skin for the main character.
Some years ago I've played "Prince of Persia", the apocryphal chapter of the "normal" timeline of the Prince and occasionally I played it for fun (like today).
Obviously finished long time ago.

I was in love with the Princess, but this doesn't interfere with my judgement. :-D

Maybe.

I love the graphic style and the design of characters and levels.

I love the exchange of words between the two characters, which gives them a good personality (and their arguments and jokes are funny).

I love the stunts to be performed during the game.

The story isn't bad, but there are some bad points:

•  there is no gameover...
•  what you should do

When you fall down or when you died in another way the Princess helps you and puts you in the position like before you died.

It's a problem? For me not much, it's like a checkpoint, maybe is used too often...

What you should do? In the beginning of the game you know what you should do. You know everything.

You don't know some details, but you know WHAT you should do in the "infected lands" and where/what they are. Too obvious, it's like a routine task,  your mind thinks "booooring!". 

The only curiosity are: bosses, how levels are... but the actions are still known.

In conclusion a good game, maybe too repetitive, nice the two endings, both leave a bitter taste (ops, spoiler :-P, but the game is old).

There is a DLC for Xbox360.
