Reviews

  • Sony Ericsson W705

    Average call quality on an otherwise killer music mobile. The W705 ticks most of the right boxes, and is cute as a button, but is letdown in a few key areas.

  • Samsung U4

    The U4 is an attractive compact player with a bit of flair, but test out the touch buttons before shelling out your dosh.

  • Crysis Warhead

    Warhead is a fantastic stand-alone expansion to a superb shooter, and should be played by anyone who likes games with guns.

  • Fallout 3

    Fallout 3 is a profoundly engrossing role-playing game just waiting to reveal its deep, dark mysteries.

  • Apple iPod Touch (2nd generation)

    If you've been holding back, now is the time: the second-gen Touch is an excellent media player, and the addition of third-party apps extends the fun for everyone, no matter where your interests lie.

  • Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

    Technical issues notwithstanding, the violently rewarding Age of Conan is one of the finest online RPGs available.

  • Sony Ericsson C702

    There's a lot to like about the C702, sadly the Cyber-shot camera is not part of this list. People hunting for a rugged mobile phone will rejoice at this compact and attractive option.

  • Bose On-Ear Headphones

    The Bose On-Ear Headphones are compact headphones with a comfortable fit, but you can get better sounding models for half the price.
