Eye Candy 6For many years, Alien Skin's Eye Candy has been one of the most used plugins for creating eye-catching effects for image design enhancement. This current version continues to build on previous versions to provide even more effects and greater variety to make your designs "work." The catch is that working with Eye Candy is at its best if you have Photoshop CS4. If you have Photoshop CS3, it's good. If you have Fireworks CS4 or Photoshop Elements, it's okay. This is partly due to the fact that the amount of features has fully passed the inharent user-interface design limitations.

Review: Close Combat: First to Fight489

Over the years, I've been trained by first-person to shooters that I have to fight everything alone. Close Combat gave me some allies, but they pretty much did their own thing while I did mine. Here, you have to work as a group in order to get anywhere. You have to trust that your team will do their jobs while you do yours. You don't have to spot and kill everyone, you just have to spot and kill the enemies your position in RFTA requires you to spot and kill.
