Mazda 2 Neo 3-door hatch (2008)

Smaller and lighter than the previous model, the Mazda 2 is a revelation for small cars, and for cars in general. There's not much tech on the inside, save maybe the 3.5mm auxiliary input for your MP3 player.
HP Mini 1000

HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.
ASUS EeePC 1000H

The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.
Ninja Gaiden II

This action-packed sequel isn't quite up to the standards of its precursors, but it's still a brutal blast.
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer

Mask of the Betrayer offers up a deeper, darker, and ultimately more satisfying role-playing experience than Neverwinter Nights 2.
Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2

Ultimate Ninja 2 still values style over substance, but a bigger cast of fighters and a better-realized story mode will certainly make it a hit with Naruto fans.
The Sims 2: Castaway

Castaway might just be one of the best iterations of The Sims 2 on consoles yet.
