Reviews

  • Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000

    Standing out from the many desktop combos, the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 has an impressive keyboard but comes with a hefty price tag.

  • Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

    The second Indiana Jones adventure expands and builds upon the previous, making for the best game yet in the Lego series.

  • Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

    Solid gameplay, challenging platform puzzles and a touch of whacky humour make Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier a good addition to Sony's much-loved series.

  • Colin McRae: DiRT 2

    If you have any interest whatsoever in off-road racing you'd do well to take this beautiful and thrilling game for a spin.

  • Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter

    Despite its originality and charm, Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter is a mediocre platforming game.

  • Fight Night Round 4

    Though definitely an improvement over its predecessor, this boxing game isn't without a few problems.

  • Style Boutique

    One part fashion mix and match, one part introduction to consumerism. Style Boutique's a weird little game, especially coming from Nintendo, but tween girls will love it regardless.

  • Cars Race-O-Rama

    Cars Race-O-Rama is a terribly generic racer aimed at the younger crowd. It's neither great nor awful, just absolutely middle-of-the-road gaming.
