I seem to remember the reviews being pretty bad the last time we had an Aston shell as the giveaway. The game looks like the graphics would give me a headache, so I think I have to consider today a bust. :( YMMV of course.

Giveaway of the Day - Aston 1.9.5
September 21, 2007
Aston Shell is a flexible and powerful Desktop replacement application, which lets you save your computer’s resources while giving your Desktop a unique look. Aston completely replaces your old Desktop with a new one, providing numerous additional features and saving computer resources for more necessary tasks.
By installing Aston, you acquire a lot more than just a fancy look, you get a more efficient way of using your computer. Aston looks similar to the Desktop you’re already familiar with, but its components offer much more functionality:
* Toolbars (side panels on the left and on the right sides of the screen) offers easy access to the documents, applications and web links you need the most;
* Multi-state Taskbar buttons let you know exactly if a certain window is active or minimized (they are also adapted to the width of the Taskbar and are thus easier to manage: no precious screen space is wasted);
* Aston Quick launch Panel can be as small as a single button: you get easy access to your shortcuts without turning the Taskbar into a garbage dump;
* You can hide and restore System Tray icons with a single click or a keystroke;
* Keep your Desktop clean: use the Panel plug-in to organize your files without turning the Desktop into a dumping ground;
* Desktop icons can be of any size, any form (thanks to alpha-blending) and can be animated as well. Standard limitations are gone!
* Aston Disks and the Recycle Bin let you visually monitor their fill states;
* Multi-monitor support;
* A built-in Hotkey Manager makes your work with Aston even more pleasant and effective.

Giveaway of the Day - Aqua Digger 3D
September 21, 2007
AquaDigger is a shining 3D arcade game based on classical dig-and-collect-all-the-treasures concept. Some things just never die and the digger idea is one of them. Now it is greatly revisited again in AquaDigger.
Get ready for some underwater action. Now the game field is a bottom of the ocean. You’re controlling a oyster and your aim is familiar yet still exciting: collect all the golden coins while evading hostile spiny sea-urchins. Marvelous pearls grow inside you slowly. From time to time you can spit out a ripe pearl on your enemies to destroy them. You can also push off chests to make them fall on the heads of your enemies.
Game features rich 3D graphics with particle effects (such as bubbles of air), lens flare, dynamic gamefield, animated 3D backgrounds and sharp characters.
