Reviews

  • 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.

  • Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview

    The next Microsoft Office may not be hitting computer screens until 2010, but we got to test drive the invite-only Technical Preview. See what Redmond has in store for its powerhouse suite.

  • Microsoft Windows 7 (Ultimate)

    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.

  • Microsoft SideWinder X8

    Microsoft's SideWinder X8 is a marked improvement to the series, but there's more work to do yet, especially when it comes to the shape.

  • Halo Wars

    Halo Wars is a fun strategy outing for fans of the universe, but it feels simplistic and short alongside other games in the genre.

  • Microsoft Explorer Mouse

    Microsoft's new desktop mouse conquers surfaces no mouse has conquered before. It also happens to be very good.

  • Lips

    Lips' wireless mics and excellent song selection make for an evening's worth of entertainment, but it has little to offer solo players.

  • Gears of War 2

    Gears of War 2's new environments, weapons, and multiplayer features round out an all-around superior action package.

  • Guitar Hero: World Tour

    That's one giant leap for a franchise; one small step for a genre.

  • Microsoft SideWinder X5 Mouse

    Microsoft's pared-down SideWinder X5 Mouse is supposed to offer PC gamers a lower-cost version of its higher-end model. Instead, it comes across as flimsy and overly stripped down.
