Today, we are announcing that, as part of our big expansion plans in 2011, we will be covering games available on the newly released 'Mac App Store'. Over the next few weeks, you'll be seeing us cover all the latest games on the Mac App Store.

Developers are free to contact us to arrange a review of their applications, via the usual process.

After an agonising wait of what seemed like years, the Skype app now officially supports Video Calling over Wi-Fi and 3G! So far, it's beat FaceTime right? Wrong.

Some people are reporting that Video Calling over 3G is far too laggy, and that it's near impossible to make a video call. Maybe Apple was right not to release FaceTime over 3G? Leave your comments below if you've experienced problems!

It was announced back in October this year, and promised by Jobs himself to be released within 60 days. Well, we're passed those 60 long days now, yet no sign of the Mac App Store in your dock. Don't fear, it's coming soon! 6th January to be exact. So, what can we expect from this new platform?

1. Auto-Install - There'll be no need to drag that .app file to the Applications folder anymore. Apple will be kind enough to install it for you!
2. Auto-Updates - Remember the *sad face* when an application announces it needs an update just when you want to use it? That will happen no longer, with Apple's auto update feature!
3. No Serials - There'll be no need to keep hold of your serial keys for applications. Your applications will be tied to your Apple ID.

So, those are the main benefits of this new Mac App Store, which will be available as an additional download on the 6th January 2011, or as part of Mac OS X Lion when it pounces in 2011!

One of the top world wide selling iPhone App's; Angry Birds have had trouble with bringing the game over to Android. The problem - 'more difficult than predicted due to fragmentation with the open platform.'

The company that brought you Angry Birds also said in a report: "So far, we have hesitated to create multiple versions of Angry Birds for the Android platform. But judging by the feedback we have received, we feel that by providing a lightweight solution, we are doing a favor for our fans. We are currently developing a lighter solution to run Angry Birds on lower-end Android devices."

The Angry Birds developer 'Rovio Mobile' sent an apology out to the public, mentioning words such as 'are efforts were unsuccessful in delivering optimal performance'. They are trying to provide an alternative for the android users, but overall a bad day for Angry Birds and her awaiting Android fans.

The new application for Apple's devices was released on the 26th of October. It is the first of the big food chains in Britain to approach the technique, Waitrose similarly has personal Bar code scanners in its stores enabling customers to tally up their total as they shop, however Tesco is the first to venture out, using the Bar code technique in the 'Home delivery' sector.

The Barcode is an add-on to the orginal Groceries App, it is now possible to simply scan the item you have run out of and instantly add it to a home delivery order. Meaning you don't have to search for the product you wish to order on the App.

The App is targeted at 'busy parents' and 'time poor-professionals' that want to add a specific grocery item with ease and speed. Laura Wade-Gery, Chief exuative of Tesco Direct and Tesco.com told The Guardian:

"We're always looking for ways to make life easier for customers and for busy mums in particular. The barcode scanner will make online ordering much quicker for those that have an iPhone. Customers can simply scan the barcode of grocery products stocked by Tesco whilst on the go and add them into their online shopping basket.

Gamerating.co.uk may do a quick News Flash review of this Application in the near future, so look out for it!

The Game has managed to gain over 1 million sales in under just 10 days. Brought to you by the same publishers of 'Angry Birds', the team have earned a mouth watering £400,000 after Apple have taken their cut. The Game is selling at 59p and its sales are continuing to grow at a super-sonic rate, who ever said that there was no money in Apple gaming....?

Shrek Kart HD was one of the first games I ever installed on my iPad. Obviously aimed at the children's market, Shrek Kart HD includes all the main characters from the well known movie series, "Shrek". It includes Shrek himself, Donkey, Puss In Boots, Gingy, Pinocchio, Ogre Triplets, Fiona, Big Bad Wolf, the 3 Little Pigs and of course, Lord Farquaad (The Ghost Of!). The game offers 3 different difficulties, perfect for the smallest of children. There are 4 game modes in total - Single Race, which speaks for itself.
