If you don't quite need the sweeping feature set (and steeper price tag) of bigger-name text editors, BareBones software's TextWrangler is a free but still impressive alternative. This versatile text editor lacks the extensive Web-authoring capabilities of its big brother, BBEdit, but TextWrangler still delivers many useful text-wrangling capabilities above and beyond the basics, like spell-checking and unlimited undo/redo. This latest update fixes bugs for a smoother user experience.

Also this week we have the latest version of Audio Hijack Pro, the software that lets you record and add effects to any audio streamed through your Mac. Our game this week is Defenstar, a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game made with classic arcade shooters in mind.

Don't forget to check out our iPhone apps of the week!
