Stardock Impulse is a simple finder that allows you to search for the latest software and games in the market. With this program, you will always know which games are launched and you can even buy them through this interface. You can search by key word or by category in the catalog. In the catalog you can also view all available games and software with their respective prices and you can click on them to get more information. You can even search games and software by price, availability and publishers. From the ImpulseTV tab, you can even watch videos describing some of the latest games, so you can decide whether to buy them or not. What is more, in the Community tab you can find the latest news about the program, you can view your Impulse Reactor games, see your achievements, ranking, friends, chat with them, enter to forums, among other things.
In addition to this, the application is very nice and intuitive, and completely free.
