Reviews

  • Panasonic SC-PT865W

    It's got a few weak points, but movie buffs with large DVD libraries will find this a great way to add surround sound to their home theatre set-ups — particularly if wireless rear speakers are a necessity.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

    Metal Gear Solid 4 is an awe-inspiring synthesis of dramatic storytelling and entertaining gameplay.

  • Ape Escape: On the Loose

    Monkeys, weapons, 3D worlds and cool mini-games. Ape Escape: On the Loose has all the elements of a great platformer.

  • Asus W2Vc

    A good multimedia laptop with a great screen and strong all-round performance.

  • Samsung YH-820
