Reviews

  • Assassin's Creed II

    Assassin's Creed II is what you'd want an action sequel to be: bigger, better and more beautiful.

  • Brutal Legend

    This amazing tribute to metal delivers a hugely entertaining gaming experience despite missing a few chords.

  • TomTom for iPhone

    With the highest price, fewest features and the same ol' iPhone nav problems, TomTom's app is hard to recommend.

  • Mio A430

    It may be a frill-free zone, but the Mio A430 offers plenty of screen girth for the money. Pity then that the camera and school zone warnings are nigh on useless.

  • Navigon MobileNavigator for iPhone

    With the addition of text-to-speech and the squishing of a few previous bugs, Navigon's MobileNavigator makes sense for the occasional nav use. We still have some reservations about the whole iPhone nav experience, though.

  • Navigon 4350 max

    It looks good, priced right and has an excellent Bluetooth hands-free set-up, but a host of minor niggles prevents the 4350 max from being a star.

  • Navman MY50T

    Step up to the MY50T and you'll get a larger than normal 4.7-inch touchscreen, traffic messaging with a lifetime Suna subscription, and Google or TrueLocal searches via a Bluetooth internet connection.

  • Kogan EziNav G3

    Want more for less? Kogan's EziNav G3 delivers with more crashes, more stuttering speech, more disappearing streets and more unusable features.

  • TomTom One 140

    Same, same but slightly better than before. Quicker responses and lane guidance justify slight premium over fourth-gen One.

  • Lexus IS250 Sports Luxury (2009)

    What the IS250 lacks in badge snobbery, it makes up for in good looks, rock-solid quality, neat handling and serenity enough to becalm a frazzled monk. While stuffed with tech, it isn't quite as up-to-date as we'd have liked.

  • Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

    The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.

  • Empire: Total War

    This strategy sequel is incredibly deep, broad, addictive — and a bit rough around the edges.

  • Vodafone Compass

    Compass makes an excellent navigation tool for casual users looking for directions a few times a month or year. More frequent users should look to something more robust.

  • iLife '09

    Apple iLife '09 is a great application suite for simple media organising and editing, and the addition of features like face recognition, geotagging and music lessons makes it worth the update.

  • Garmin Nuvi 265WT

    With its relatively elegant traffic antenna and simple-to-use interface, the Garmin Nuvi 265WT makes a good case for itself.

  • Garmin Nuvi 260

    As per the 260W — an easy to use GPS, with great verbal speed and red light camera warnings which, unfortunately, aren't installed by default — but narrower and AU$100 cheaper.

  • Red Alert 3

    Red Alert 3 is a raucously fun strategy game that overcomes its issues with both style and substance.

  • Mio Moov 370

    Traffic messaging and Bluetooth hands-free at a reasonable price, but the windshield mount and hard-to-read traffic alerts mean that it fails to scale the heights of its predecessor.

  • Garmin Nuvi 760

    If you're in the market for a GPS navigator with an FM transmitter and MP3 playback, not to mention excellent safety camera warnings, the Nuvi 760 is the one to go for.

  • Garmin Nuvi 260W

    A good, easy to use GPS, with great verbal speed and red light camera warnings which, unfortunately, aren't installed by default.
