Reviews

  • Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000

    Standing out from the many desktop combos, the Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5000 has an impressive keyboard but comes with a hefty price tag.

  • Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

    The second Indiana Jones adventure expands and builds upon the previous, making for the best game yet in the Lego series.

  • Colin McRae: DiRT 2

    If you have any interest whatsoever in off-road racing you'd do well to take this beautiful and thrilling game for a spin.

  • Fight Night Round 4

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

  • Left 4 Dead 2

    With exciting new content across the board and plenty of it, Left 4 Dead 2 outdoes its predecessor and makes the zombie apocalypse an absolute blast.

  • Cars Race-O-Rama

    Cars Race-O-Rama is a terribly generic racer aimed at the younger crowd. It's neither great nor awful, just absolutely middle-of-the-road gaming.

  • Assassin's Creed II

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

  • Ninja Blade

    This derivative action game is a bunch of silly, stylish fun.

  • DJ Hero

    DJ Hero spells a new frontier in rhythm gaming of electrifying fun, but the cover charge is steep.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Up: The Video Game

    Up features energetic, colourful gameplay that will entertain kids hanging out to own their own copy of the movie on DVD, though it won't keep parents engaged for very long.

  • 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.

  • Batman: Arkham Asylum

    With an excellent mix of biff, stealth and sleuth, you don't need to be a fan of Batman to enjoy this excellent third-person action game.

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Home Premium)

    Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been — it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional)

    Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.

  • Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

    Konami will up the ante with incredibly realistic player likenesses and increased strategic depth, as the competition between football games ramps up again this year.
