Reviews

  • The Beatles: Rock Band

    After a string of disappointing Guitar Hero franchises, Harmonix looks to reinvent the "band-based" rhythm game genre with The Beatles: Rock Band.

  • Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A

    While strict rules say Panasonic can't call this TV "green", the Panasonic Viera TH-P42S10A features reduced power usage in addition to better image quality.

  • MotorStorm: Pacific Rift

    More content and clever courses make Pacific Rift everything you'd want in a MotorStorm sequel.

  • Disney Sing It

    It's great fun for kids and fans of the Disney films featured, with practical tools to help take melody and singing skills from average to awesome!

  • Rock Band

    Rock Band does a superb job of bringing out the wannabe rock star in all of us, and creates one of the best party-game experiences of all time.

  • Guitar Hero: World Tour

    That's one giant leap for a franchise; one small step for a genre.

  • Philips SHE9850 sound-isolating earphones

    An excellent all-rounder, with good detail, a balanced, warm sound and superb comfort and fit. Deeper bass and brighter treble exists in competing models, but for almost all genres of music and in most listening environments, the SHE9850s will impress and for a good price.

  • Panasonic Viera TX-37LZ800M

    This flagship 2008 Panasonic Viera LCD TV delivers brilliant colours and soulful sounds, but is held back by a less than ideal PC resolution support and a broken anti-judder 24p function.
