Reviews

WD My Passport Elite 500GB

Desktop users who need a portable drive will find the My Passport Elite endearing, although the dock could stand to be a little more user friendly.
Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G

The Sony 70-200mm lens is an excellent telephoto zoom choice for Alpha cameras, providing you've got deep pockets and strong, strong arms.
Sony PlayTV (PS3)

The Sony PlayTV is an add-on for the PlayStation 3 that allows you to use your console as a fully-fledged, dual-tuner video recorder.
DJ Hero

DJ Hero spells a new frontier in rhythm gaming of electrifying fun, but the cover charge is steep.
Olympus Mju Tough 6010

The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.
Sony Dream Machine (ICF-CL75iP)

We have a few nitpicks and grumblings, but overall the Dream Machine is a happy marriage between the alarm clock, iPod dock and digital photo frame.
AFL Challenge for PSP

Shallow gameplay, technical flaws and rubbish difficulty make this more of a bench warmer than a goal.
