The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (November 2008)
As much as I hate this time of year with the cold, wet, dark weather, I am encouraged that one of my favorite holidays is upon us. Of course, I am talking about Thanksgiving. For our non-US readers, Thanksgiving is the remembrance of how the early settlers were saved by the Native Americans who showed [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (October 2008)
Well, here we are…October. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate October? I mean sure, my boys and I get to dress up like superheroes and run around scaring people and begging for candy. But other than that, this is one of my least favorite months. This is the time when summer gives way [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Free Games (September 2008)
It is hard to believe that summer is already starting to turn to fall. I have been noticing lately that the mornings are a little crisper…and a whole lot darker when I leave for work. Pretty soon mowing the lawn will give way to raking leaves. In fact, my kids have already started talking about [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (August 2008)
So, here it is, the end of August, and I find myself sitting in the cool dark mornings wondering where my summer has gone. Not only did the past few months just fly by, but it has also been unusually cool here in August. At times, it has felt almost fall-like in the morning. So, [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (July 2008)
Here we are, halfway through the summer. Can you believe it is already almost August? Where does the time go? This was a great month for me. We took two vacations to visit each set of Grandparents. That meant I had plenty of time to test out all of this month’s games. And what a [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (June 2008)
Welcome back to the Arcade. I have to admit, June has been a little bit of a crazy month for me. As most of you know, I used to be pretty involved with Just Another Mobile Monday. A few months ago, I left that site, and shortly thereafter, Tariq and I founded My Today Screen. [...]

The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (April 2008)
When I was in college, there was an enormous uproar when late night comedian David Letterman left NBC, and moved his show to CBS. Everyone wondered whether the show would be the same. Would he be able to maintain what he had started? CBS was a different environment and culture. [...]

Well, the unseasonably warm weather we had been enjoying passed yesterday with a terrible windstorm, followed by freezing rain and ice. It was bad enough that I kept expecting to find a pair of ruby red slippers poking out from under [...]

[Note: This article was originally posted on Just Another Mobile Monday on December 18, 2007]
It is hard to believe that I have been writing this little column for over a year now. Since November 2006, I have looked at 65 free games, any of which I think would make a fine addition to your device. [...]

Well, here it is, November, deep in the heart of the Holiday Season. I hope everyone had a great time Trick or Treating. I took my boys (Red Power Ranger and Superman) out and about in our neighborhood. We all had a [...]

I can hardly believe it is October already. The leaves are turning funny colors, a chill has entered the air (albeit unseasonably late) and the ghosts, goblins, and ghouls are starting to line up around our neighborhood. Trick or Treat time is [...]

As I have been discussing in other articles, this year I was honored to be invited to serve as on the Panel of Experts for the Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine Best Software of 2007 Awards.
Some of you may have noticed that [...]

[This article originally appeared at Just Another Mobile Monday on August 15, 2007]
I cannot believe it is time for the August edition of the Arcade already. Where has my summer gone? Nonetheless, August has been an incredibly exciting month for me as, for the first time, I have been a member of the Board of [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (July 2007)
[This article was originally posted at Just Another Mobile Monday on July 22, 2007]
I have a confession to make. I am a bit frustrated with The Arcade for the first time since I started writing it. My frustration primarily stems from my monthly search of the web for games to include. This month, I downloaded [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (June 2007)
[This article was originally posted at Just Another Mobile Monday on June 15, 2007]
When I started writing The Arcade last fall, I always envisioned that it would ultimately become a reader driven column. I imagined that I would review freeware games suggested by the readers, ensuring that I write about the games you want to [...]
The Arcade: A Monthly Roundup of Freeware Games (May 2007)
[This article was originally posted at Just Another Mobile Monday on May 16, 2007]
For most of us, when you talk about free games, there are a few images that come to mind, none of them particularly flattering. Usually, we tend to envision free games as having inferior graphics, not working well, or generally not holding [...]
The Arcade: A Roundup Of Freeware Games (April 2007)
[This article originally appeared at Just Another Mobile Monday on April 19, 2007]
I can’t believe it is already time for the April edition of The Arcade. Maybe it is the fact that we are having almost record low temperatures here in Washington, DC. It has been in the 30’s (Fahrenheit) and it even snowed…in April. [...]

[This article originally appeared at Just Another Mobile Monday on March 28, 2007]
I am a little bit late with this month’s issue of The Arcade, mainly because I have been besieged by some amazing software and hardware products which I have been reviewing. For example, in the last couple of weeks, I have reviewed Orions: [...]
