After many weeks in the making, the games section on studentbeans.com is now live!

Here you can fritter your time away on 80s favourites like Tetris, the curiously addictive Sling Jumper or shoot apples off a friend’s head (see below - incidentally this is our most popular game so far - must be the realistic spurts of blood).

On the other side of the website, the Beanzine (our online magazine by students for students) has evolved to feature blog posts from our ten Channel Editors within the articles section.

So, if you have a random urge to get the Food Editor’s opinion on risotto or find out the Entertainment Editor’s favourite bands you know where to go (plus, you can see what they look like too!)

With the winter nights getting longer and mornings getting colder, what better reason is there to indulge in some shameless procrastination?

The games section on studentbeans.com is one.

Launching in the next week, it’ll feature a selection of computer games that threaten to put your grades dangerously at risk.

If, however, you prefer your essay-avoiding to at least look productive then cast your eye over the new finance section.

Here you can compare the best student credit card rates, find out everything you need to know about credit and read the best student money saving tips.

Watch this space for news of the launch date!
