Reviews

  • Forza Motorsport 3

    The next instalment, coming in October, offers pumped up visuals, error prone AI drivers and a rewind feature to undo nasty little incidents, like dates with the Armco.

  • Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

    The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.

  • Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700

    Although it's not our favourite keyboard and mouse combination, the Logitech Wireless Desktop MK700 set earns our recommendation for its comfortable "Incurve" key design, quick scrolling mouse and impressive battery life.

  • Fake iPod Nano (4th generation)

    If it wasn't for the glitchy software and sub-standard battery life, the fake iPod Nano might have been almost as good as the real thing.

  • Microsoft Security Essentials

    Microsoft Security Essentials is recommended for those who want something to set and ignore, but users who want more robust configuration choices or don't want to contribute to the cloud should look elsewhere.

  • Halo 3: ODST

    An awesome campaign and addictive new Firefight mode make ODST a thrilling new entry in the Halo franchise.

  • Apple iPod Nano (5th generation)

    Not sure which new iPod to choose? The Nano's fifth incarnation wins hands down, with FM tuner and video camera being more than just cheap gimmicks.

  • Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

    The Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000 doesn't leave much room for complaint. It fits comfortably in your hand and works on almost any surface, thanks to Microsoft's BlueTrack sensor technology. It would make a useful addition to your mobile arsenal.
