The best football title ever? 30 September 2009 16:43 GMT

Logitech Z520 Speakers
Pricey. But do they deliver? 30 September 2009 16:00 GMT
The Logitech Z520 speakers are desktop stereo speakers designed to be paired with a computer or hooked up to an MP3 player. There is no subwoofer, remote or battery option - just two compact speakers and the wires to hook them up with.

Sony Ericsson S312 mobile phone
A budget handset worthy of consideration? 30 September 2009 12:00 GMT
The Sony Ericsson S312 is pitched as an entry-level handset, with a few added touches that bring the camera to the fore. But is this a viable camera phone, or does it struggle to drag itself out of the bargain basement?

The S312 is a typical candybar phone from...
LG BL40 Chocolate mobile phone
Sweet on the outside but just as tasty within? 30 September 2009 9:20 GMT
The LG Chocolate BL40 is a beautiful handset. It's an irrefutable fact. Its shape is unique, its colours striking and it's one of the few phones these days that gets more ooohs and aaahs than a certain other touchscreen device that's somewhat taken over the planet. In fact,...

Wireless charging is one of the buzzwords around gadgets at the moment, promising to do away with the hassle of having to connect a wire to charge your device, or even worse, remove the battery and place it in a separate charger.

With the Xbox 360 controllers...
Sprint HTC Hero mobile phone
Can this build on its European roots? 28 September 2009 16:00 GMT
We started our last HTC Hero review with talk of the chin, so it seems logical to start this one at the same point. That's right, it might have quickly become HTC's signature for it's Android devices, but Sprint clearly doesn't agree.

Instead from Sprint you...
Canon PowerShot D10 digital camera
The camera of choice for action heroes? 28 September 2009 12:00 GMT
The most striking feature about the Canon PowerShot D10 might well be the range of funky colour choices you get, from blue through to camouflage. Pitched directly to action fans, the D10 is battling it out alongside the likes of Olympus' Tough cameras.

In that...
Asus UX30 notebook
A viable MacBook Air challenger? 28 September 2009 9:42 GMT
The Asus UX30 is a CULV laptop, using low powered components in order to keep the dimensions as small as possible. As such, the 13.3-inch machine measures a smidgen over 2cm at it’s thickest, and weighs in at 1.5kg, putting it broadly on par with Apple’s MacBook...

Observe and Report - DVD
"I thought this was gonna be funny, but it’s actually quite sad" 25 September 2009 12:00 GMT
There are have been many things that have emerged from Hollywood’s creative pipehole that we should marvel at. I am presently marvelling at the way that one of the largest cultural factories is able to cater to its audiences needs, no matter how small, seemingly worthless...

Jabra Halo Bluetooth headset
Angelic wireless headphones? 24 September 2009 7:17 GMT
Bluetooth headsets get a bad press. Although they are amazingly practical, allowing you to use your phone whilst keeping your hands free, they've always had something of an image problem. A problem that is probably reinforced by just about every estate agent in the world...
Halo 3: ODST - Xbox 360
Halo without the Chief 23 September 2009 15:21 GMT
In hindsight, Halo 2 wasn't quite what we'd expected. After the original Halo single handedly made the Xbox a legitimate rival to Sony's PlayStation 2 console, early videos promised that it's sequel was due to include battles on a ruined earth, taking place huge cityscapes....
Samsung Galaxy i7500 mobile phone
Intergalactic Android megastar? 23 September 2009 14:38 GMT
Samsung's Galaxy i7500 has already had a troubled existence and it's only just launched. While the handset has been available in Europe since June, endless delays have plagued its UK launch, as chronicled extensively on Pocket-lint.

Can Shift refresh the series? 23 September 2009 12:00 GMT

Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 digital camera
Will this bring your 3D world to life? 23 September 2009 10:04 GMT
We first saw Fujifilm's 3D concept camera at Photokina 2008 and struggled to take it seriously. There are so many questions and seemingly so few answers. Now the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 has come to fruition. But can we now take the first 3D production camera seriously,...
HP Photosmart C4780 all-in-one printer
Is this the printer for those who don't really print? 22 September 2009 13:21 GMT
There used to be a time when printers were big and beige. But can a colour change to gloss black really make you want to sign up for the new HP C4780 all-in-one printer? We get printing and scanning to find out.

Sitting in the mid- to low-end of the printer...
LG GW520 mobile phone
QWERTY slider for the undecided? 22 September 2009 9:00 GMT
The LG GW520 takes the company's popular KS360 style, updates it and adds some hardware beef to the package. But in a time when mobile phones are moving so fast, is this enough of an evolution over the smaller 2G sibling?

The GW520 has distinctive LG looks,...
Championship Manager 2010 - PC
Can this match Football Manager? 21 September 2009 16:00 GMT
The story of the split of Football Manager developers Sports Interactive, and publishers Eidos has been told more times than Top Gear gets repeated on that daftly-named Dave TV channel. For a fair few years now, Beautiful Game Studios have attempted to step into the Championship...
Angels and Demons - Blu-ray
Any redemption for Dan Brown? 21 September 2009 12:00 GMT
If there is one thing that Dan Brown should be familiar with it's criticism. It seems to come hand-in-hand with writing a best seller these days, as like it or love it, the Da Vinci Code was both adored and abhorred in the same breath. Angels and Demons comes very much from...

Will this make you more productive? 18 September 2009 18:14 GMT
