Diablo III review
REVIEW
The game PCs have been waiting for
21 May 2012 17:01 GMT
Tweet
The mouse has to be without doubt one of the most boring pieces of technology available. It might be as useful an invention as the car or the railways, but rarely will we be doing backflips over a new piece of mouse-related hardware. Thanks to Diablo...

Starhawk review
REVIEW
Michael BayStation
14 May 2012 16:01 GMT
Tweet
An early PlayStation 3 classic, Warhawk introduced many console gamers to the idea of proper online multiplayer. It has been a good few years since the game was released and the entire multiplayer landscape has changed drastically, thanks to the likes...

Panasonic Lumix TZ25 review
REVIEW
Easy snapper
26 April 2012 14:14 GMT
Tweet
The compact camera doesn't always need all the extra bells and whistles that many companies slap on top. They can be simple things, designed to capture the moment as quickly as possible and do little else. Grabbing hold of the Panasonic TZ25, we were...

Boardman Team Carbon review
REVIEW
The choice for weekend warriors
25 April 2012 11:54 GMT
Tweet
Pocket-lint recently undertook a fairly meaty 175km cycle with our bum firmly planted on its fairly comfortable seat. The Boardman Team Carbon was so good, we figured we'd give it a review.
So what do you get with a £1499...

Trials Evolution review
REVIEW
The fun evolves
18 April 2012 17:12 GMT
Tweet
Xbox live arcade games are getting so good now that many people are choosing to play them over full-price titles. Last week it was Fez, this time round it's Trials Evolution. The sequel to one of the most enjoyable and addictive titles on the Xbox...

Fez review
REVIEW
Download this
13 April 2012 18:42 GMT
Tweet
Downloadable titles are stealing a lot of the limelight at the moment on both PS3 and Xbox. Journey was a standout game for the PlayStation and remains a highlight of the PS Store.
The Xbox has the likes of Trials Evolution inbound and now... -
Kinect: Star Wars review
REVIEW
Feel the force?
3 April 2012 8:01 GMT
Tweet
Star Wars is everywhere. The Lucas empire extends far beyond the reach of any traditional franchise, with our friends C3PO and R2D2 being as ubiquitous as the kitchen sink. Some of the ancillary elements to the Star Wars world are great - Knights of...

Acer Timeline M3 Ultra review
REVIEW
How ultra?
21 March 2012 18:24 GMT
Tweet
The term Ultrabook becomes more loosely defined with every release under its name. The latest to bend the ultra-slim rules, the Acer Timeline M3 Ultra, despite not being particularly thin has a lot about it worth getting excited about.
Inside...

FIFA Street review
REVIEW
Five-a-side fun
19 March 2012 14:59 GMT
Tweet
Like a lot of sports games these days, FIFA now comes in two flavours; the conventional FIFA titles that are released yearly and FIFA Street, the NBA Jam of soccer titles. This time around, EA has tightened up the nuts and bolts of the...

Journey review
REVIEW
Take a trip
12 March 2012 13:26 GMT
Tweet
Journey has been on our radar for quite a while now. Put together by That Game Company, a studio famed for its alternative approach to video games design, Journey has a lot of hype surrounding it.
We tend to remain sceptical of any title... -
Twisted Metal review
REVIEW
A car crash
7 March 2012 16:31 GMT
Tweet
Twisted Metal has a very special place in our hearts. It was one of the first 3D games we played and also to this day, remains one of the best. A friend had been one of the lucky few to be granted a PlayStation for Christmas and had saved up to buy...

SSX review
REVIEW
A classic returns
6 March 2012 14:08 GMT
Tweet
Of all the games we played on the PS2, it was SSX and SSX Tricky that swallowed up the most hours. We would pour away time flipping, grabbing and grinding in some of the best-designed tracks ever witnessed in a video game.
But SSX got tired.... -
Syndicate review
REVIEW
Corporate espionage
23 February 2012 16:51 GMT
Tweet
Cementing yourself in the hall of gaming history requires a title to be filled with moments so unique, that it becomes instantly unforgettable. The tram sequence of Half Life, Metal Gear Solid 4’s ending, these are moments that elevate the idea...

ModNation Racers: Road Trip review
REVIEW
PS Vita custom racing
22 February 2012 17:55 GMT
Tweet
The Vita is quite a beast when it comes to the ways in which you can interact with it: two cameras, front and back touch sensitivity, two analogue sticks, gyroscopes and accelerometers. Sony really couldn’t have left much out.
With all...

BlackBerry Bold 9790 review
REVIEW
To boldly go where we've already been before
24 January 2012 16:40 GMT
Tweet
BlackBerry is in trouble. The founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie announced they were stepping down from their CEO positions, being replaced by Thorsten Heins. Sure they might all have awesome names, but RIM's performance is far from awesome,...

Sennheiser IE80 review
REVIEW
Tune that bass
20 January 2012 17:23 GMT
Tweet
We like music. We like it even more when it is beamed to our ear-holes via super high end headphones. Until recently our set of Atomic Floyd SuperDarts have remained our go to kit for music listening. Sennheiser thinks they can replace them with the...

Apple MacBook Pro (Late 2011) review
REVIEW
As pro as it gets?
23 November 2011 17:03 GMT
Tweet
The 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro, until recently, was a bit of a misnomer. There wasn't much Pro about a Core 2 Duo processor and the Sandy-Bridge-packing 15- and 17-inch options out specced it massively. It felt like a bulkier MacBook Air and in some...

Goldeneye 007: Reloaded review
REVIEW
The Bond remastered
22 November 2011 11:54 GMT
Tweet
Goldeneye 007: Reloaded on the Wii was a game that suffered at the power - or lack thereof - of Nintendo’s console. The framework was there for a great Bond title, but it didn’t quite manage to live up to the heights of its N64 predecessor.
The...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 review
REVIEW
BOOM!
9 November 2011 10:39 GMT
Tweet
Modern Warfare 3 is, in some ways, a bit like buying a Spice Girls album, in that, no matter how cool you think you are, it's impossible not to sing along. This is what Call of Duty is, gaming fun in its purest form. There is nothing complicated about...

Sonic Generations review
REVIEW
Return to form
8 November 2011 12:53 GMT
Tweet
There is a reason this review is slightly late. For years the blue hedgehog has been on a downward spiral of gaming drossdom. This led us to believe Sonic Generations would be like any other game in the Sonic series. As such, we weren't in a huge rush...

Battlefield 3 review
REVIEW
It's explosive
27 October 2011 12:26 GMT
Tweet
The levels of hype surrounding Battlefield 3 have hit lunar landing levels of excitement. From that graphically stunning trailer released all those months ago, to the first footage of jets in action, there is plenty of weight lying on the...

Atomic Floyd Superdarts review
REVIEW
Super-duper
20 October 2011 9:00 GMT
Tweet
Atomic Floyd have been on Pocket-lint's radar for a good while now, with the older generation TwistJax headphones leaving us suitably impressed.
The company has a reputation for turning out high quality metal in ear headphones that provide...

F1 2011 review
REVIEW
The hardcore racer returns
30 September 2011 13:51 GMT
Tweet
Last year's F1 2010 achieved something that few Formula One games had ever managed: coming very close to a perfect balance between simulation, arcade-style gaming and outright speed. It resulted in one of the most rewarding and enjoyable racers of...

6 September 2011 15:32 GMT
Tweet
Garmin has a serious cycling pedigree, its team Garmin-Cervelo being one of the best in this years Tour De France. The company has a range of dedicated bike mountable satnavs designed to get you from A to B when out on two wheels.
