Reviews

  • Shadowrun

    Shadowrun is an online FPS combining a mixture of magic and technology. It is also one of the first games to allow PC players to face-off against Xbox 360 players.

  • Sony Ericsson W950i

    Convergence? Yeah, Sony Ericsson's heard of it... This is an excellent MP3 phone let down by a clunky PDA interface and no camera.

  • FeedDemon 2

    FeedDemon is a terrific RSS reader that can handle hundreds of subscriptions faster and better than the many free Web-based readers available.

  • Google Home

    Google Home is a breezy service that lets you create a custom sign-in page chock-full of news and widgets.

  • Netvibes

    If you want to fill a personal home page with dozens of individualised newsfeeds and tools, Netvibes does a cleaner job than rival services from bigger brand names.

  • Rojo RSS reader

    Rojo is a respectable newsreader, but it's not our favourite. We like its community-oriented features, but competitors such as Bloglines are easier to learn.

  • Bloglines

    Bloglines is a fun and free newsreader that runs inside most Web browsers and is sure to please all but the most discriminating news junkies.

  • Google Reader Beta

    Google's elegant newsfeed manager for Gmail users is friendly for newbies to RSS.
