It's already December. It means Christmas is just around the corner. To get you in a festive mood, just follow the list of Christmas themed iPhone and iPad apps and games available for free download from iTunes Apps Store.

 

Christmas!!

christmas.jpg

Christmas!! is an iPhone-specific app with all sorts of goodies packed into one little app. With a Christmas countdown, an Advent Calendar filled with surprises that you can unlock each day, including iPhone wallpapers, jokes and a gift list. The app is the perfect companion to get you into the Christmas spirit as you count down the days to Christmas Eve.

 

Christmas Sound Shelf Free

XmasShelf.jpg

The Christmas sound shelf has a variety of sound effects that you can play against the background of either Jingle Bells or Silent night. From sleigh bells, to a crackling fire, kids will have fun creating all the sounds that come with Christmas. Unfortunately, recording or continuous playback are features that are sorely missing from the free app.

 

Amateur Surgeon Christmas Edition

AmateurSurgeon.jpg

It may not be entirely Christmasy but the developers behind Amateur Surgeon (the $2.99 iPhone game) have, strangely enough, put together a free Christmas edition of their popular game. Rather than pull out shards of glass and nails from your patients (starting with an elf), how about Christmas lights, candy canes and crackers instead? You might never have imagined a Christmas take on the grizzly game, but they’ve somehow managed it, and are sharing the cheer for free.

 

Waitrose Christmas

waitrose.jpg

From the UK supermarket chain comes an app, suitable for mum and dad – Waitrose Christmas. Jampacked with Christmas recipes, tools, planners and gift guides, the app has left no stone unturned. Avoid any disasters in the kitchen this Christmas with their Turkey Timer and Canape Calculator.

 

Removem Christmas

mzl.gjieubnn.320x480-75.jpgmzl.nxciptqs.320x480-75.jpg

Removem is yet another iPhone game offering a free Christmas edition, packed with Christmas music and pictures, from snowmen to Christmas tree to ornaments. Play the traditional removem game, removing balls from the screen of the same colour that are side by side. The aim of the game is to clear the screen, or at least get the highest score possible.

Popular-Audio.jpgAudiobooks are great for people who find themselves with moments where they're awake, but have other things to do with their hands. Listening to audiobooks is a great way to multitask during those times of day and add a little culture.

If you are finding some good audiobooks to listen to, follow the list below. It's a selection of not-so-obvious audiobooks which are widely regarded as great books. You can download them free from certain site, like BookShouldBeFree, or buy them from iTunes, Amazon, etc.

1. War Of The Worlds-H.G.Wells: There’s a good reason this classic science fiction work was worked into music, film and popular culture — because it’s great! Get back to roots by listening to the original, unaltered 1890′s story.

2. Night And Day-Virginia Woolf: Slip into the start of the 20th century with Night and Day. This is a book for Jane Austen lovers who need a little twist. Covering many similar themes to Austen, Woolf provides social commentary with a little humour.

3. Walden, or Life In The Woods-Henry David Thoreau: Ostensibly, this is a book about survival, adventure and self-reliance. Ultimately though, Walden is also about finding your own path and breaking free from expectations. Great listening for the commuter with big dreams!

4. A Blandings Story-P.G.Wodehouse: Wodehouse is a comic genius who was loved by Douglas Adams, Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie and many more. “Something Fresh” is one of Wodehouse’s most popular texts, so it is likely to be appreciated by all comedy lovers.

5. The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle:If you’re getting into the BBC’s Sherlock Holmes series, now is the time to re-visit the original. Get a feel for the original Sherlock Holmes character in order to fully appreciate the re-make.

Tips: Get DRM Protected Audiobooks To Plain MP3, AAC, WMA

Sherlock-Holmes.jpgIf you purchased those audiobooks with DRM protections from iTunes or somewhere else, you may need to convert them to plain MP3, AAC or WMA. The following tools can help you remove DRM protections from those audiobooks easily and legally.

kinect.jpgThe recent buzz seems to be around Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360. This accessary for Xbox 360 brings games and entertainment to life in extraordinary new ways without using a controller, which means you can control the games, movies and music with the wave of your hand or the sound of voice. Is that magical?

Games:

Kinect for Xbox 360 makes it easy for people to play games. It seems that gameplay becomes incredibly responsive and intuitive with Kinect. If you have to kick, then kick. If you have to jump, then jump. Kids and parents are likely to be able to get in on the action without having to learn or master complicated button and movement presses. The only disadvantage of Kinect we can see seems to be the request for the space, because all the excitement of Kinect may depend on the room space. If you decide to buy Kinect, maybe you should first make sure you have plenty of space to play.

Movies & Music:

We've mentioned that Kinect can also track and monitor audios as well. The audio can be used in the Xbox Live environment to play movies, watch trailers and access other elements of Xbox 360 dashboard as long as you are within the Kinect Hub. It would be great to enjoy some movies and music on Xbox 360 without a controller by your side.

Note: If you want to watch some movies on Xbox 360 but they are not supported by Xbox, for example, iTunes M4Vs, you can use Tune4mac M4V Converter Plus or Tune4Win M4V Converter on Mac and Windows respectively to convert the movies first. 

In a word, the Kinect for Xbox 360 is a revolutionary for gaming, though there are still some room left to be promoted. At least we see that the future of game-playing can be without buttons.
