YouTorrent - Torrent searches get stylish

by Romeo Wahed Jan 8th 2008

If you've been making a list of all the web sites that start with the word "You" that have popped up in the last year, today's your lucky day. The latest addition to the You-sphere is called YouTorrent and it has to do with searching torrents.

On the surface, there is nothing new. YouTorrent appears to be just another search engine for torrents that combines a number of trackers and engines, then displays their results in an easy to digest format. In fact, other than a sharp and clean look, YouTorrent does not seem to be much of an innovator, and maybe even a little on the slow side in terms of displaying search results.

However, it's not exactly what is available now but what is going to become available in the future that makes YouTorrent an interesting engine to watch in the coming months. Promised are Boolean searches, additional engines, as well as customization options for those engines.

But even without those additional features, YouTorrent is a good looking and functional search engine for torrents. Just remember what your mother always said: torrent responsibly.

Sweet sweet torrents. I used torrents.to whenever I used to venture into public trackers, but this replaces it, no contest.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
