Reviews

  • Lego Rock Band

    This charming rhythm game is especially good for first-timers, but it's a little light on content.

  • Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars - PSP

    The PSP version of this fantastic GTA game is even better than the DS original.

  • Garmin Nuvi 1390

    It mightn't offer the bigger bang for buck, but the 1390 is a solid and dependable choice. We particularly like its comprehensive lane guidance and easy-to-use interface.

  • BenQ Joybee GP1

    The BenQ Joybee GP1 is a small and impressive LED pico-projector, but you'll pay handsomely for the "wow" factor.

  • Navman MY500XT

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

  • Mini Ninjas

    Whether you're big or small, there's a lot to like about these little ninjas and their lengthy journey.

  • Sony Ericsson Yari

    The Yari looks great but doesn't have stellar features or applications. If you're in it for the games then be prepared for a serious disappointment.

  • Sygic Mobile Maps for iPhone

    With its latest update, Mobile Maps has become our favourite iPhone nav app, but we still have reservations about using the iPhone as a GPS navigator.

  • Aussie Tesla breaks electric car distance world record

    A Tesla Roadster run in this year's Global Green Challenge between Darwin and Adelaide has smashed the record for the longest distance travelled by an electric car on a full charge, but it had to be driven at an excruciatingly slow pace.

  • Better Place's software tells you where you can go

  • Guess first Ferrari 458 crash, win US$500

    We've all drooled over Ferrari's new 458 Italia and undoubtedly some will end up being written off in a bingle. So, it almost seems logical that a website is offering US$500 to the person who can most accurately predict the day and time of the first crash.
