    FIFA 12: UEFA Euro 2012 review

    3.0 REVIEW Lacks polish, if not the Polish 27 April 2012 15:49 GMT

    Before we get into the meat of a review that may, we might as well warn you, be more negative than you’d expect, we have to say that we fully applaud EA for releasing its bi-annual licensed international tournament game as an add-on for the superb FIFA...

    Mass Effect 3 review

    5.0 REVIEW Three is the magic number 9 March 2012 15:37 GMT

    Wow. Mass Effect 3 is, as far as we can remember, the best third instalment of anything - movie, game, TV series, anything. Return of the Jedi? Nope. Lord of the Rings: Return of the King? Get out of here. Big Mommas: Like Father Like Son? You seriously...

    Uncharted: Golden Abyss review

    4.5 REVIEW The daddy of the PS Vita launch titles 22 February 2012 16:50 GMT

    Right from the off, as soon as Sony Computer Entertainment revealed that it was crafting a PS Vita version of Uncharted we were intrigued. The adventures of Nathan Drake have rapidly combined to become one of the firm’s most valuable and loved...

  • WipEout 2048 (PS Vita) review

    WipEout 2048 review

    4.5 REVIEW PS Vita launch title hits the spot 14 February 2012 16:00 GMT

    WipEout is as synonymous with PlayStation as a superfluous capital letter, even sharing the same trait. It helped shift the first Sony console on its launch in 1995, and it is hoped that the latest in the franchise will do the same this time around.

    There...

    Sony PlayStation Vita review

    4.5 REVIEW Curriculum Vita 1 February 2012 17:01 GMT

    Let’s not beat around the bush; we like the PlayStation Vita, we like it a lot. In fact, we’re happy to say that we have never fallen for a handheld games console as much as we have the PS Vita. It is to hardcore gamers what a Penny Black...

    First Look: PlayStation Vita review

    FIRST LOOK Got to hand it to Sony 28 November 2011 22:18 GMT

    There’s no denying that all eyes are on the Sony PlayStation Vita at present. Most look on with eager anticipation, but some are more cynical.

    While it managed to shift over 70 million units worldwide, there’s a common, if not entirely...

    Football Manager 2012 review

    4.5 REVIEW The definitive review - one season in 24 November 2011 17:09 GMT

    Football Manager, nee Championship Manager, has always been a voluminous beast of a management simulation. And, as each iteration has layered feature after feature on top of an already excellent engine in order to improve realism, it has become more...

  • Samsung Galaxy Note

    Samsung Galaxy Note review

    4.0 REVIEW Phone? Tablet? Phablet! 3 November 2011 9:00 GMT

    To be completely honest, while we’re entranced by its considerable charms, we’re not overly sure what to make of the Samsung Galaxy Note (or GT-N7000, for the model number fetishists). No matter what anybody tells you, it’s not a...

    FIFA 12 review

    4.5 REVIEW The best FIFA yet 29 September 2011 16:14 GMT

    It's harder to write a FIFA 12 review than you might think. It was doddle when Pro Evolution Soccer was a viable contender, but it's been a fair few generations since that particular franchise has been in the same stadium, let alone on the same pitch.

    So,...

    Onkyo TX-NR609 review

    5.0 REVIEW The mighty mouse of media 8 September 2011 19:34 GMT

    On the whole, Onkyo receivers and amplifiers are excellent, especially for the price. Take last year’s TX-NR808 for example, a superb specimen of sonic sorcery – it’s 3D ready, got more bells and whistles than a cat and dog sanctuary,...

    Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12: The Masters review

    4.5 REVIEW Jolly Green Jackets 1 April 2011 19:34 GMT

    For the first time in Pocket-lint’s memory, Electronic Arts has removed Tiger Woods’ image from the front of the latest in its PGA Tour golf game franchise, opting instead to make a tournament the star. But then, there’s no better...

    Virgin Media TiVo review

    4.5 REVIEW EXCLUSIVE: Much more than just telly 3 March 2011 23:56 GMT

    It’s been a long time coming, but Virgin Media’s TiVo project has finally been realised. And, if you think that plain old catch up TV and video-on-demand services are good, wait ‘til you get a load of this.

    Virgin Media has...

    First Look: Motorola Atrix 4G review

    FIRST LOOK CES 2011: The star of the show? 14 January 2011 15:25 GMT

    Motorola is keen to stress that its Atrix 4G handset is not just another smartphone. It is, in fact, an evolutionary step in mobile computing; the first product in an all new category. You see, while it runs on Android 2.2, sports dual-core processing...

    Football Manager 2011 review

    4.5 REVIEW Tweaked and prodded to near perfection… 4 November 2010 21:34 GMT

    For true football fanatics, like us, there are two distinct dates every year that have us all in a froth: the start of the new league season after a long period without any matches (or worse, after another risible England display in an international...

  • FIFA 11

    FIFA 11 review

    4.5 REVIEW At the end of the day, football is the winner… 1 October 2010 12:00 GMT

    To be completely honest, FIFA 10 was such a massive shake up for the franchise that, with FIFA 11, Electronic Arts could have released a mere update, relying on tweaks and fresh rosters. The software company even enhanced the gameplay a tad in the...

    First Look: Toshiba Folio 100 review

    FIRST LOOK Big is best, says Tosh 8 September 2010 11:02 GMT

    Before we start, it must be said that the current build of the Toshiba Folio 100's firmware is far from complete. Indeed, the slightest deviation from the basic apps and functions causes the pre-production model to fall over faster than an amateur...

    First Look: Samsung Galaxy Tab review

    FIRST LOOK Pint-sized multimedia tablet explosion 7 September 2010 11:19 GMT

    It was strange experiencing the crackle and buzz of a thrilling new launch that didn’t feature the gesticulations of a black turtle-necked Californian, yet Samsung’s IFA press conference had an air of anticipation normally only associated with Apple.

    And...

  • Onkyo TX-NR808

    Onkyo TX-NR808 review

    4.5 REVIEW Future-proof your home cinema 9 August 2010 15:20 GMT

    Onkyo is the market leader in AV amplifiers and receivers for good reason. It has, for the last few years at least, crammed its kit with as much tech as it can possibly fit in, whilst keeping prices at very reasonable levels. The end result is a rapidly...

    Samsung UE40C7000 3D television review

    4.5 REVIEW Welcome to the new dimension... 23 April 2010 15:14 GMT

    Major TV manufacturers, such as Samsung, often have two complete range upheavals a year. That is, they release a new collection of TVs, often with improved features and functionality, bi-annually and generally in line with the changes in a super-fast...
