Reviews

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

With an exhilarating campaign, intense cooperative mode and addictive multiplayer competition, Uncharted 2 is a complete game that is completely awesome.
Navman MY30

Good looks, good price, but let down by overzealous school warnings and limited lane guidance.
Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
Nokia Ovi Store

It's got a long way to go before it catches Apple's App Store in regards to both quantity and quality of apps, but Nokia's Ovi Store definitely shows promise.
Patapon 2

Patapon 2 adds plenty of new ideas to the already unique gameplay, making it a worthy successor to the original.
BlackBerry Curve 8900

We wanted a "Baby Bold" but instead we got the "Bold lite". Not having 3G seriously cripples an otherwise excellent BlackBerry.
Apple iWork '09

Intuitive interface design and easy access to useful features make iWork the best office suite choice on the Mac. Though it lacks some of Microsoft Office's advanced options, iWork '09 is an emerging powerhouse in its own right.
