One of the hottest apps out there is CleanMyMac, its a simple yet useful app for ensuring your Mac stays clean and efficient as you use it. You may not know this but as you use your Mac it generates log files, caches, as well as other system Junk which you can remove on a regular basis. By removing the stuff you don’t need, you can keep your Mac free and hopefully running well. CleanMyMac is designed to clean your system and keep it in tip top shape. Its very efficient at doing this.

Over the last week or so I have reviewed a couple of fun game, Cut The Rope, Rotieer and not forgetting five fun games post. I have another funky game to add to the list, it is called PaperMonsters. Its a 3D platform game similar too Super Marios Bros, but with cool 3D graphics and a cool little main character. This game is cheap, fun, simple to play and strangely addictive with some interesting level design and game play.

One of the simplest methods to uninstall apps on your Mac is to move them to the trash. However, this can level preference files, caches and other files scattered around your Mac. Although this isn’t much of a problem, it does allow you to pick up where you left off when you re-install your app, it is nice to know everything is clear when the app is removed. It also reduces disk space and generally keeps your Mac nice and clean, no point in having a file you don’t use. This expensive list will detail pretty much every Mac app cleaner I can find. There is no order to the list with eleven apps in all, and it contains both free and paid apps. If you have an app that I have missed, please leave a comment.

A long time a go, I mentioned how to change a folder icon, a lot has changed since then and I would like to show to you today a cool app called Appinator. Its primarily designed to quickly and easily change folder icons, using a cool built in library of icons. It also has the ability to change and organise your wallpapers (some of the built in ones are pretty cool) and set a rather nifty little menu bar icon to access your apps.

Yesterday I posted a list about five fun Mac games. Today I have another Mac game you might be interested in, Rotieer. Its a complex puzzle game where you have to rotate the world to get the ball to the goal. It sounds simple, however many times while playing this game, you end up rotating the world and the ball goes flying off the map, only to loose a life and have to start again. Although the concept sounds simple, there are various challenges and problems you encounter to keep your mind at work.

Today’s post is going to be a fun one. I’ve found five of the best, cheap (under $10) games for the Mac. These are some of the best simple games that you should play. Games on the Mac are starting to take hold on the Mac system. Although we don’t get the latest blockbuster games, there are some fun games which you can download and play to pass the time. Each of the give featured have good graphics, addictive game play and are generally fun.

Today’s app review is about a game I haven’t been able to put down. Its called Cut The Rope and if you are a fan of the iOS game, the Mac version of the game will not disappoint. The game is all about feeding a cute little monster called Om Nom sweets/candy which is attached to ropes. By cutting the ropes (hence the name Cut The Rope) and candy will fall and swing from each rope, into the path of the monsters mouth. For bonus points you have to cut the ropes in the correct order for the candy to pass through a maximum of three stars for double bonus extra points. It sounds easy, but soon become challenging and a little thought is needed for each level.

Today’s cool app is called Raskin, it designed to compliment Finder in navigating and organising all of those files and folders found on your Mac. If you every have lots of documents to move around, modify and play with you will probably find Finder doesn’t quite cut the mustard. Finder itself was introduced on the very first Mac computer, although it has been updated and improved since then it could always be better. Raskin compliments Finder in showing you an overview of folders on your hard drive and allowing you to interact with many files, folders and place on your Mac in one go. Certainly better than the hundreds of Finder windows I open and having to constantly switch between them with Expose.
