Medal of Honor Frontline - PS2 review
REVIEW
1 October 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
Medal of Honor was one of the best selling games on the PlayStation, so good in fact, that it had a sequel, Underground, and a PC version, Allied Assault (with expansion pack, Spearhead). The acronym has become synonymous with the military world, so it...

MechAssault - Xbox review
REVIEW
1 October 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
The Battletech and MechWarrior series has always had a good following. With over six instalments on the PC, Microsoft has finally brought the game to the X-Box. Taking all the craft and simplifying it somehow, the conversion overall is a very good one.

Dead or Alive - Xtreme Beach Volleyball - Xbox review
REVIEW
1 October 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
Where does one start with this title? Of course you could champion that the game fills that all-important void in the beach volleyball video game category. You could also argue that surely it is better to have the youth of today playing team sports rather...

Brute Force - Xbox review
REVIEW
1 October 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
To clear something up from the beginning - Brute Force is not the strategic tactical squad-based game that Microsoft want to you believe it is - a sort of Halo on speed with more players and better co-op mode. Those looking for a Counter-Strike, one-shot...

Creative Jukebox 3 review
REVIEW
1 October 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
When the Creative Jukebox was first released in 2000, it was a big, clumpy heavy thing. Now two years down the line and like mobile phones, Creative has managed to trim this machine down in both size and weight (it is now 107 grams lighter) and the player...

Otogi: Myth of Demons - Xbox review
REVIEW
23 September 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
A minimal storyline suggests this game is for one thing, and one thing only - carving your way through the action.
Based around your average Japanese demon story, you play Raikoh a ninja styled dude, freeing trapped demons within each level... -

Dane-elec zMate Pen USB review
REVIEW
23 September 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
When we were all a lot younger, it seemed a floppy disk would suffice for all our file and data transferring needs. Surely we would never need to transfer files greater than 1.44Mb. If we did we'd simply split it across a couple of disks and be done with...

Any home entertainment user will tell you. The main problem with their system is not placing the five or more speakers in the room, nor trying to get the right bracket to hang the plasma from it's what to do with all the damn remotes.

Red Faction 2 - PC review
REVIEW
28 August 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
When Red Faction hit the shelves some 15 months ago, it was one of those first person shooters than changed the way FPS where looked at. Like RTS, there is a very strong danger that every new game can look and act like the old, merely in a different location....

Olympus C-50 review
REVIEW
23 July 2003 23:21 GMT
Tweet
Compacted in a rather small if not heavy case, the C-50 is no slouch when it comes to offering the photographer what they want. For starters the camera boasts five mega pixels, a 3x optical and 5x digital zoom and if that wasn't enough, it's all contained...

Olympus C-350 review
REVIEW
23 July 2003 23:16 GMT
Tweet
When the C-300 was launched last year many complained that it was too large and bulky to be taken seriously as a three million pixel camera. Now its predecessor, the C-350, has addressed style, weight and bulkiness to become a leaner, meaner 3Mp camera....

14 July 2003 0:00 GMT
Tweet
If we where to say that soon there'll be a game that crosses the graphical interface of such titles as Oni and Aliens vs Predator 2 and with a story line to the value of Half life, it might just make you sit up and read on. It's no hoax, for Bungie,...
