Wednesday Web Wonders


Three sites reviewed by The Metro, re-reviewed by me 24 hours later :)

As a friend pointed out, these sites usually involve games, music or art. And this week's no exception :)
Well spotted G.


The Metro says: "Bored of your old flash games? Check out this site - it's home to thousands of free games, which are arranged into categories including one-player, two-player, platform, music, beat 'em up and cooking. And the range on offer is updated regularly. Although there are a few adverts on some games, thankfully they're not full of those annoying pop ups every time you attempt to play something. Look out for the likes of angry birds, super Mario, street sesh and Ultimate flash sonic."


John says: "This is one of those sites with loads of Flash versions of popular games. This site features a lot of games I've not seen on these types of site before."


Official verdict: "Good stuff, a proper time killer."


The Metro says: "Everyone can be a DJ these days. Jamcloud, a free application that enables you to listen to music with friends in real time, certainly plays on this. You can search for videos, playlists and other people to follow but more importantly, it's possible to create listening rooms for others to join and rate. The application can also easily source videos or music from YouTube. SoundCloud can even import music from friends walls to add to your live streams."


John says: "This could be awesome but it's a bit too confusing (it's probably really simple but I'm really old). You need to download a thing to make it work too."


Official verdict: "Probably brilliant, I can't tell."


The Metro says: "The Leroy brothers are three artists and they have developed a site where creative types can submit messages and pictures, with others voting for their favourites. Every hundred hours, the Leroy's take the most popular entries and mash them up to create their own artworks, which may eventually form part of a museum exhibition."


John says: "Looks to me like they just overlap two pictures and put some writing at the top and bottom. I could do that."


Official verdict: "Pish"


Overall verdict: "Bit Meh"
