yeah… this is by no means an advertisement for MacHeist.. don’t get me wrong. But I’ve been through the apps. I plan to start a weekly review feature on Mac apps.. and many of these apps will probably be featured.

My favorite is Times. Innovative way to display RSS… that’s for sure.

It’s a great bundle: even though from last year’s MH I really wound up using just 2 or 3 apps (Pixelmator pretty much eliminated the need to launch Photoshop for quick crops or easy, rough edits), it was still a bargain, compared to buying them separately. Usually this is also good for developers who get their apps on many desktops. Sure, some apps will never be used, but some just might become accidental favorites, and prompt their users to get an upgrade in the future. I already know that this year’s Little Snapper is going to replace several screen capture utilities I have been using, and although not perfect, for the price it is a reasonably good choice (I wrote a short review of it on my blog), and Picturesque is a quick-n-dirty little app to spruce up any blog or website, Apple-style. And I was happy to replace the quickly-aging Audio Hijack with Wiretap: a more elegant app, IMHO.

Nice call, Jared. Also, don’t forget for web developers, Expresso, the latest hot code editor on the Mac market, normally costs way more than this. Definitely worth the $39!

Hey, don’t forget, World of Goo was our 2008 Game of the Year:

I hear Multiwinia was pretty good, too. Haven’t played it.
