Reviews

Fight Night Round 4

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

The S640 boasts dSLR-like responsiveness and good pictures but is let down by its price and lack of competitive features like HD video.
Tekken 6

Punch-Out!!

Lexmark Prestige Pro805

The Pro805 frustrates as much as it innovates with a touchscreen interface and an interesting, iPhone-style app store.
Thecus N5500

Thecus' N5500 is, like all of Thecus' lines, best suited to the professional user who doesn't mind tweaking the unit to get the most out of it.
