Reviews

  • Borderlands

    Fun combat and a steady flow of rewards make this journey a massively enjoyable one, especially with some fellow mercenaries along for the ride.

  • HP 2159m

    HP's 21.5-inch monitor is fairly average for its class — however, in the face of its limitations, the price doesn't add up.

  • Rugby League Challenge for PSP

    The biggest challenge here is finding decent gameplay among the mess of broken camera angles and dodgy AI.

  • FIFA 10

    FIFA 10 offers the best gameplay in the series' history and includes even more features and game modes to boot.

  • Dead Space Extraction

    This story-focused on-rails shooter is a worthy follow-up to Dead Space that delivers the same sort of thrills, chills and kills, but in a whole new way.

  • Asus Designo MS246H

    The MS246H works well if you're trying to reach a certain design aesthetic — just be aware that with this aesthetic comes a lack of adjustability options and frustrating menu buttons.

  • HP w185

    Its limitations mean that the only scenario we can recommend the w185 in is where you need a dirt cheap monitor for extremely basic use, like to throw in a server room. Otherwise if you're looking for quality, we'd look elsewhere.

  • ViewSonic VX2433wm

    ViewSonic VX2433wm is a low-priced monitor with acceptable performance for everyday tasks.
