Reviews

  • 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.

  • Corsair Flash Voyager 64GB

    With more than enough space, some will be using Corsair's 64GB as a replacement for an external hard drive. Transferring this much data though will leave you wishing for more speed.

  • Ninja Gaiden II

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

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