Best party games

Got people over? Not sure how to keep them entertained as you're preparing the beef bourguignon? Check out this collection of great party games.

Console titles may get all the fanfare, but there are still plenty of great games to play on the PC.

NHL 10

While it isn't as big of a leap forward as last year's game, NHL 10 is still one fantastic hockey sim.
Belkin Switch-To-Mac cable

Belkin's Switch-To-Mac package performs adequately, but at a high price for what's likely to be a single use cable.
Apple Mac Pro (2009)

Apple's new eight-core Mac Pro demonstrates marked improvements over the older model in high-intensity digital media and multitasking scenarios.
Apple Mac Mini (2009)

Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.
Dell Inspiron Mini 10

The Dell Inspiron Mini 10 looks to be an improvement on the Mini 9, although the initial low resolution screen, lack of WWAN and three-cell battery option could hamper initial sales. We'd recommend waiting for the updated model coming later this year.
Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

The X1's good looks and strong hardware are hampered by frequent performance lag, an unintuitive user experience and its jaw-dropping price tag.
Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition

While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.
Logitech diNovo Edge Mac Edition

The Mac Edition of the diNovo Edge is still a better keyboard overall than the iMac's default model, but not enough to justify its high price.

Best PlayStation 3 games

With its Blu-ray and music features, Sony loves to spruik the PlayStation 3 as a multi-purpose home theatre centre, but face it, you wouldn't have one if you didn't want to play games. Here's our pick of the best.
MacBook Pro vs. the PC competition

Mac or PC? The war rages on. We've thrown the most recent 13-inch MacBook Pro and the closest PC to a Mac we've seen, the Asus U80V, into the ring for an all out brawl.
Best games for Mac

With all the focus on console gaming these days, the poor old Mac often seems to be totally ignored. But fear not, Apple fans, for some of the greatest PC games are also available for your Mac. We've gathered some of the best.
Is Apple behind the laptop curve?

As good as Apple laptops are, Windows-based PCs do have a few leading-edge features not found in MacBooks.

Australian pricing for new Macs

Apple has revealed Australian pricing details for the new hardware line-up it announced overnight in the US, with the vendor's new low-end MacBook laptop starting at AU$1299.
Snow Leopard brings great news for Windows 7

Every time I see the "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" ads on TV, I can't help but wonder, "why not both?" And it has never been a better time for that.
