Transformice.
A simple game on paper. You are a mouse, get the cheese and return to your mousehole, do this as quick as possible for more points. In fact, you'd be forgiven for thinking such a game is way too simple for your magnificent brain, but there's the problem. if someone did, for some reason, decline to try this game, they'd be missing out on quite frankly the best game ever.
Because, you're not just trying to get the cheese into your mousehole as quick as possible, You're also trying to beat 60 or so other mice. One of them is also a shaman, a magical mouse that can spawn objects to either help you reach the cheese, or hinder you. (The latter seems to be more prevalent).
It's amazing fun, and although it can be summed up as 60 player co-op where everyone is an asshole, I heartily recommend you play at least once. Just make sure the next 5 hours are free, since it's a potent timesink too.

Here's a lovely video of it, too. Watch if you're not sold on the game yet.

App of the month: Ninite!
Have you ever reformatted your own PC after a few years? Most people, I think, have. Doing so does have it's advantages, you end up with no clutter, no "dodgy films" and, most importantly, it feels like your PC is new again.
It also, unfortunately, has it's disadvantages. You have to cope with Internet Explorer (assuming you've reinstalled Windows). You have to use IE to navigate to the page of every one of your favorite tool, download them all, then begin the somewhat tedious process of installing each app separately. At least, that was the case until Ninite came along. Ninite, as the site explains, allows you to choose from (hang on a second, counting...) 75+ applications, ranging from Google Chrome to CCleaner. After you choose your programs, Ninite forms an installer that contains all of them and, when you run the Ninite installer, each app is installed. Literally, all you have to do us run Ninite, then pop off and have a marmalade sandwich or something. This program, quite frankly, is genius.
Score: 8/10
+ Makes reformatting much easier
+ Has a decent selection of apps, and the opportunity to suggest apps.
- Like most things , charges too much for a "pro" version
- Impossible to use without internet access (unless you shell out for the pro version)

Enjoy!
