Reviews

  • Palm Pre

    With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.

  • The Sims 3

    The latest Sims game is also the greatest, striking a terrific balance between the fresh and the familiar.

  • Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

  • Navman S50

    This GPS is blessed with a good price and attractive design but is marred by its buggy Bluetooth and horrible windshield mount.

  • iRiver Clix (2nd generation)

    The 2nd gen iRiver Clix offers the perfect blend of hot design, desirable features, and stellar sound quality. If you're looking for an alternative to the iPod Nano, this device should top the list.

  • Super Paper Mario

    Super Paper Mario brings Nintendo's quirky role-playing series to the Wii with great results.

  • Final Fantasy XII

    This chapter in one of the world's most popular role-playing series features an inspired look, boldly redesigned strategic combat, and a long, engaging story.
