Reviews

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

A lot of cameras get called "unique", but the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj aptly lives up to this tag as it hosts a built-in projector. It's definitely a novelty and fun to use, we just wish image quality was better.
BeBook Mini

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010

This year's Pro Evo improves upon its predecessor in some key areas, but it does little else to keep up with the competition.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

The FZ35 should be at the top of any potential superzoom buyer's list, with a fully featured specification sheet and good image quality.

NHL 10

While it isn't as big of a leap forward as last year's game, NHL 10 is still one fantastic hockey sim.
