Fancy a kickabout? Soccer - Suburban Goalie is as no-nonsense as they come. Click punctually in the direction of an incoming ball to catch it.

There are plenty of sports games on Flytrap. Take a look.

Super Energy Apocalypse: Recycled is an ecologically-minded, wave-defence strategy game with more than a passing resemblance to Command & Conquer. Energy shortages and chronic pollution have driven humanity to the brink of extinction, and your embattled group of survivalists must forge a new world from the ashes.

Gameplay is a B-movie-flavoured mixture of top-down zombie splatting and cartoonified green-thinking. Any oil wells, mines and power plants you build in the day generate smog and garbage - milk and honey to the undead hordes that pester your defences during the night.

Send forth garbage trucks and upgrade your resource production facilities to keep pollution levels down.

There's no scarcity of similar games. Here: Shadez 2, When Penguins Attack, Elona Shooter and SPORE Islands. Take your pick.

As, presumably, in real life, killing somebody in Ultimate Assassin 2 is only half the battle - you've got to get away with it too.

Each level contains one lime-green assassination target and several cool-blue coppers armed with pistols, randomised patrol patterns and red viewing cones. Navigate the maze undetected with the arrow keys, stick it to the target, and head for the exit portal once it appears.

Flytrap's working day isn't over till the fat lady sings. Or alternatively, till all blue puffballs are on the blue half of the screen and all yellow puffballs on the yellow half of the screen. Brace yourselves, late night viewers, for the wonderment of... Flalls.

Flalls is so relaxed that if we weren't already looking forward to our comfy beds it would, in fact, make us look forward to our comfy beds. Slide the vertical barrier up and down with the mouse so that wayward flalls drift through the gap.

Click flalls to change their direction, and click power-up presents when they come within range to suck 'em up. Whirring fans are a real inconvenience on later levels.

Do I detect the thundering of obese feminine feet? Good night all.

Greetings, brethren. It's my pleasure to present the second in our "Dear Facebook" editorial series, in which we put the entire Facebook community on a pedastel, throw topical questions at it and make up semi-ludicrous answers till somebody's lawyers start sharpening their pencils.

Last week was all about fish. This week, slightly less humorously, we're looking at the problem of data security (or lack thereof). Facebook gets a lot of stick on this front, and it's high time Flytrap stuck its collective nose in.

Dear Facebook: are my details secure?

1. Yes, unless you actually write online about your life and interests in any halfway sincere and open manner.

Whenever you join a Rob Patterson fan-group, express an interest in Lily Allen's next single, comment on a link or update your status box with details of that bacon butty you bought in Morrisons, you're allowing third parties to build up a picture of your personality, income bracket, favourite daily haunts, associates, etc - to say nothing of such fraud-friendly details as your birth date, residence and contact details.

Best think carefully about what you allow other users to see. Stay out of the "friending" race, too: some of those apparently innocent requests might come from stealth marketeers or hackers - or worst of all, old school friends with whom you no longer have anything in common whatsoever.

Popstar self-promotion just sunk to a new low, or ascended to a new height, depending on which side of the generation gap you sit on.

Junior starlet Pixie Lott, whose debut album Turn It Up rocked its way to sixth spot on UK charts in September, has recorded a duet with a digital version of herself created in EA's The Sims 3 World Adventures.

This, for reference, is what Pixie Lott sounds like. This is what a Sims 3 character sounds like. And this is what they sound like together.

Lily Allen's sort of been there and done that, to be fair. Unofficially, anyway.
