actionext describes itself as a music discovery site. Yup, yet another one. But it wouldn’t appear on Make Use Of, if it didn’t offer something new and exciting that made it worthwhile. Now what would that be? In fact, I would not describe actionext as a music discovery site. It’s different and maybe even better [...]

You won’t get the same adrenaline rush from flash shooter games as with most of the current generation PC games (think Crysis, Fallout 3, etc), but you can still have a lot of fun with them. Especially when you’re ‘working’ or ‘learning’, flash games can be a great distraction. It’s a constant challenge to stop [...]

Though a lot of money sneaks into next generation gaming, smaller, browser-based games are far from extinct. Everyday, tons of them are released on the world wide web. As a reply to this huge part of the free gaming community, there will be one weekly MUO Gaming compilation of Flash games. For this very first [...]

Through time, we strive to being more ‘in’ the games. Most of the time, we do this using new technology. Better graphics, better face emulation, better voice acting, etc. More and more the making of a game is getting up to pace with the making of a Hollywood production. Then we have the other camp.

Flash was originally created (and also broadly used) for website design. It didn’t stay with that though, as Flash also proved to be a great platform for animations and web games. Throughout the years, tons of sites have risen, offering an overload of Flash content. We will be discussing a few of these sites today. [...]

It is very common (and frustrating) to install an Adobe Air application on your Linux system and find that it is not working. After all, the Adobe Air for Linux is still in alpha stage. It is not feature complete and does not support most of the applications. While we have previously covered some of [...]
