Indie developer Increpare is extremely prolific, and has made some of the most unusual games around. His latest project is the highly polished 3D puzzle game English Country Tune.

It's typically abstract, but really playable. You control a square that flips around 3D puzzles, moving objects to complete them. Check out this trailer for a better idea of how it works!

English Country Tune looks cool, and is really atmospheric. I've enjoyed playing it, but be warned - it's hard! While there is help and concepts are introduced gently, English Country Tune quickly gets tough and will really make you think. You might find that refreshing, as games tend to be easy these days, but you equally might find it frustrating!

Luckily there's a demo for PC and Mac so you can find out for yourself if you're mentally tough enough! English Country Tune is available for PC, Mac and iOS. Check it out and tell us what you think! You can read my full review here.

Long running city-building strategy series Anno has made a big leap for its next release. Previous games were set between the 15th and 18th centuries, but Anno 2070, as the title suggests, plants the game firmly in the future, to tell a cautionary tale about global warming.

The hefty 1GB demo, released this weekend, lets you play two missions from the main campaign. It will probably please fans of the game, because while the setting is new, the controls and mechanisms will be familiar. I don't think Anno 2070 does a good job of introducing itself to newcomers, since it can be a bit confusing at first. However, the improved graphics, alongside some online capabilities make it an interesting prospect.

Are you an Anno fan? Pleased about the futuristic setting, or did you enjoy the historical nature of the previous games?

Anno 2070 is released on November 17, and you can download the demo here right now.

FIFA 12 comes out this Friday, so it’s time to start thinking about which soccer game you’ll be investing in this season. That means only one thing - it's time for our annual post comparing FIFA with Pro Evolution Soccer!

Since PES 2012 isn’t released until October 14 in some places, the temptation will be to splash out on EA’s title this week and not bother with Pro Evo, or just to stick it on your holiday gift list. But what if EA has tweaked the excellent FIFA 11 too much and ruined it? What if PES 2012 makes the leap and recaptures the magic of those enchanting previous generation versions?

My advice is to go and download the demo versions of both FIFA 12 and PES 2012 before you make any purchasing decisions. Give each a few hours workout and draw your own conclusions. That’s what I did, and here’s my verdict:

Gameplay

Pro Evolution Soccer 2012

Pro Evo has been accused of losing its way in recent versions - a pal of mine now calls it “No Evo”! It’s fair to say that PES has struggled to make the jump to the next generation of consoles, while FIFA positively embraced the new possibilities.

PES 2012, however, as with the previous version, sees the magic of the glory days (I’m talking Pro Evo 3 through to 7) slowly returning. PES 2012 is fast, fluid and fun to play. The game engine gives you a real sense of freedom: there are always plenty of options when attacking, passes can be weighted to perfection, and shooting is a joy to behold.

Pro Evo 2012 adds a new off-the-ball control system, which allows you to unlock even more new attacking opportunities. A run down the wing is now a journey into a world of possibilities, as you can take control of any other attacker, drifting into space to receive a pass or pulling a defender out of position to create space for the player on the ball. Granted, controlling players off the ball (done using the second analog stick) is disorientating at first, but you’ll soon start to love it.

With the majority of your music stored on your computer nowadays, it's easy to see how your music library can quickly become a disorganized mess. Songs might not have the right title or artist information, or you might even have duplicates. How do you find the tracks you want, when you want to find them? That's where Muso comes in!

Muso is an organizational tool for your digital music collection. It's not a music player, nor is it a playlist manager. Instead, think of it as an alternative user interface to manage the music on your PC.

Start by importing your music into Muso. You can do this by either selecting individual folders or files on your hard drive or an actual music player's library. Muso currently supports iTunes, Winamp and Logitech Squeezebox devices, from which it can both import and play music. You can browse your music collection on Muso by complete albums or individual songs, as well as filter your music by artist, year and rating.

What makes Muso really stand out is its advanced tagging system, which lets users describe their songs and albums as they choose, including by mood. If you're interested in more than just sorting and browsing through your music collection, Muso also has detailed information about the artists, plus album art that's been downloaded from Last.fm, Wikipedia and Amazon.

Muso is offered free as a 30 day trial, after which users must pay purchase either an annual or unlimited license to continue using the software. If you're looking for a new way to keep track of all of the music in your library, Muso just might be the tool you've been searching for!

How do you organize your digital music collection? If you use a program, which one is it and how does it help you most?

Kaspersky Antivirus 2012 is one of the most powerful virus prevention suites on the market. As with many antivirus solutions, though, there is a temptation to set it up as quickly as possible, never exploring the more advanced options available.

It's worth delving into the settings menu in Kaspersky Antivirus 2012: it has lots of different options for managing the way the application runs and what it does to your system.

I’ll explain some of the useful features in Kaspersky's Advanced Settings. This menu can be accessed by clicking the  Settings tab at the top-right of the user interface, then clicking the Advanced Settings tab, which is the fourth and final in the row of icons (it looks like a box).

Detect Threats and Exclusion Rules

The first option in the settings menu allows you to define the type of threat you want Kaspersky to look for. Besides viruses and Trojans, the software can scan for adware, auto-dialers, and strangely created compressed files.

It’s also possible to exclude certain applications from these scans by clicking the Settings button in the Exclusions section.

Recently we've noticed a lot of people asking the same question - how can I play RMVB files? Don't be surprised if you've never heard of RMVB, because many people haven't. They're simply a type of Real Media file, RealMedia Variable Bitrate. They're especially popular for Asian movies and series, and it's probably distribution of these through P2P networks that has seen the format spreading all over the world.

Even though RMVB files aren't very well known, don't make the mistake of thinking that you need a fancy player or converter to watch them. Softonic favorite VLC is the perfect example: VLC player handles RMVB files natively, barely blinking when you load your movie up. You may have to tell Windows to use VLC the first time you open an .rmvb file, but by clicking the "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" option, you'll never have to do it again.

We played a section of Need For Speed The Run at this year’s Gamescom, and got to see whether it will electrify the franchise like last year’s Hot Pursuit. The long running series got a necessary boost with Burnout developers Criterion making a fantastic over-the-top racing game that had everyone drooling with its speed, gameplay and fantastic graphics.

Need for Speed: The Run is essentially a race across America, from San Francisco to New York,  against a huge number of opponents, and the police. The desert race we played actually looked much like Hot Pursuit, and the boost charged by dangerous behavior also makes The Run feel very similar. This is a Need for Speed game, so obviously the emphasis is on fast, good looking arcade racing, and it is certainly that.

However, what we saw of Need for Speed: The Run didn’t really impress. It didn’t feel quite as visceral as Hot Pursuit, and while the opponents were quite aggressive, the game did seem pretty easy. Unless we see some major improvements or innovations, unfortunately it looks like Need for Speed may have slipped back into lazy sequels. There’s still plenty more to be seen from the game, with a wide variety of environments  promised, so lets hope the next time we see it it will impress more. Need for Speed: The Run is scheduled for a November 15th release.

Back to school - it’s that time of the year again. Depending on your take, the thought of returning to the high school or college grind might either excite you or fill you with a sense of dread. Either way, you’re going to want to get organized. In fact, a lot of the stress associated with school relates to having to juggle a myriad of assignments and due dates.

The best way to get organized is to create a class schedule and keep up with deadlines for your assigned work. Keeping a paper planner and schedule is a bit archaic though, and takes up precious space in your backpack. Having an electronic copy is the way to go.

With that in mind, here are some great choices to help get your school year off to an organized start:

Get Organized: Created with students specifically in mind, this app allows you to fully organize your class schedule every semester or quarter. You can specify meeting times by hour and day, add the number of credits the course is for and even note what textbooks are required. If you’re a notorious misplacer of class syllabi, this is a great way to pre-record due dates and the professor’s contact information, including office hours. Get Organized also lets you color code your assignments by importance and due date. This incredibly useful app is also available for Mac and has a portable version for students on the go.

You can have a surprisng amount of fun with Skype voice changers. If you like to call your girlfriend pretending to be Barry White or want to call your boss disguised as Darth Vader, here are a few fun apps for Windows and Mac that show you how to change your voice in Skype:

Skype Voice Changer (Windows)

This simple and free voice changer for Skype. Simply install Skype Voice Changer on your PC, open up Skype and agree to the permission request. You'll then be presented with an effects panel that lets you alter your voice. There are a range of presets including Childish, Tremolo and Pitch Down and you can tweak each of them using the sliders.

MorphVOX Pro Voice Changer (Windows)

MorphVOX Pro Voice Changer has some interesting preset voices, including a demon, robot, woman, kid and even a dog! You can also apply background noises to your voice as you're talking, such as a shopping mall or a traffic jam (perfect for a call to your boss saying you'll be late for work). Another great thing about MorphVOX Pro is the 'Voice effects' section, where you can apply various filters to your dulcet tones, including nasal, growl, underwater and monotone. All of the presets can be customized using the 'Tweak Voice' control panel. MorphVOX Voice Changer costs $39.95, although you can try it free for 30 days. (More below the fold...)

Cricket is a great sport, with fans around the world. If you're not able to play yourself, or are in between games, you might want to see some of the action on your desktop. If that sounds like you, then we've rounded up the best cricket games on Softonic, so you can take your pick!

Brian Lara International Cricket 2007 is one of the classics of the genre. Although looking at it in 2011 it is a little dated, it's still the slickest, most popular cricket game out there. It's got a dedicated World Cup mode, not to mention fully-licensed players, meaning you can play as Ricky Pontin, Andrew Flintoff - or whoever takes your fancy!

Macs won't recognize Blu-ray devices because Apple chose not to support them in OS X. However, one developer has come up with a way of forcing OS X to accept external Blu-ray players in the form of Mac Blu-ray Player.

Mac Blu-ray player lets OS X recognize Blu-ray devices instantly so you can watch Blu-ray discs. Not only that, but it supports almost every format out there so you can use it as your default player. For the first three months it's completely free to use although a watermark is placed on the screen and some features will be deactivated.

To play protected Blu-ray movies you need an internet connection, because Mac Blu-ray Player has to acquire a license to play the movie on your system.

When you start it up for the first time, it will prompt you to select which files you want to associate with it so it won't take over your media files unless you allow it to:
