Reviews

Dell Studio One 19

There's a decent but not great PC hiding behind the Studio One 19's touchscreen gimmickry.
Ashes Cricket 2009

Bugs and glitches mar an otherwise fair attempt at bringing the gentleman's sport to consoles.
Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch (June 2009)

Apple's 15-inch MacBook Pro makes only minor tweaks to the previous version, but cutting prices and swapping the ExpressCard slot for an SD card slot are enough to make it a solid improvement over its predecessor.
Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, June 2009)

Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.
UFC 2009 Undisputed

This great fighting game nails the look and feel of the UFC and demands strategy as well as quick reflexes.
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.
Dell Studio XPS 16

The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.
Dell Studio XPS 13

The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent, but Dell seems to have actually tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired slightly.
