Microsoft Arc Mouse

Microsoft's Arc is one of the best mouse concepts we've seen, combining the benefits of portability and a full-sized mouse into the one unit.

Microsoft LifeCam Show

The Microsoft LifeCam Show offers improvement over Microsoft's previous laptop webcam, but Logitech still has the laptop webcam to beat.

Too Human

Too Human is a game of false starts and unrealised potential that infiltrate almost every aspect of the game. This action/role-playing hybrid is too unbalanced and too frustrating to recommend.

Microsoft LifeCam NX-3000

It's cheap and compact and delivers acceptable video quality, but the bundled software plagues Microsoft's LifeCam NX-3000 Webcam. Creative has a model for nearly the same price that we like better.

Viva Pinata: Party Animals

Viva Pinata: Party Animals isn't much of a game to be enjoyed by yourself. Playing it alone won't prove to be much entertainment for long. It has a strong multiplayer focus which is why it is of course a party game, being able to play with up to four-players on or offline.

Microsoft's ambitious, if slightly awkward, Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 covers all the bases with built-in memory, both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, and even a rechargeable battery.

Microsoft SideWinder Mouse

The Sidewinder is a good attempt by Microsoft to launch themselves back into the gaming arena after testing the waters with the Habu, but they're not quite there yet.
