Sennheiser HD-201 headphones review
REVIEW
Looking for a set of headphones for the home rather than out and about? Sennheiser want you to look no further
22 January 2006 22:00 GMT
Tweet
No, Pocket-Lint is not turning into the Sennheiser tribute site, the problem is that universal German rival Beyerdynamic has returned to the studio level of audio equipment, content to let Sennheiser carpet the portables market with the kind of spread...

Quake 4 - PC review
REVIEW
One year after we reviewed Doom 3, Quake 4 has landed. It reintroduces us to the war with the Strogg race and you play Marine Matthew Kane once more, but adding the kind of storytelling and graphical improvements you'd expect for a gap of 8 years between instalments

Darwinia - PC review
REVIEW
4 November 2005 0:18 GMT
Tweet
We all lament the dearth of original games on the PC platform, especially now we’re in the season of sports games which are about to have another year tagged onto the end of their titles. Yet original games, when they arrive, are hardly given a second...

Plantronics Audio 90 headset review
REVIEW
10 June 2005 0:09 GMT
Tweet
We’ll let you into a little secret: I’ve been enjoying this headset too much to get round to reviewing it in its own right, although it was used for comparison purposes with Sennheiser’s PC 155 set (reviewed here) last year. Frankly, Plantronics’ only...

Act Of War - PC review
REVIEW
29 April 2005 17:32 GMT
Tweet
World domination or more of the same old RTS? We take a look at Atari’s Act of War to see whether it can break away from the mould and take over your life as you try and take over the world.
Atari’s Act Of War boasts a storyline crafted by... -
Counter-Strike: Source review
REVIEW
1 April 2005 20:50 GMT
Tweet
Every single time I’ve sat down to write this review, I’ve always thought “best research it some more by playing a round or two”. It’s usually 2am by the time I’ve finished, and for the update, 4am. We also make no apologies for having taken all the screenshots...

TDK BP100 Headphones review
REVIEW
4 January 2005 11:09 GMT
Tweet
For once we can believe the packaging; TDK's BP100 in-ear headphones are as comfortable as TDK says, greatly helped by the rubberised parts. I can't stand in-ear headphones. However I was forced to admit, in spite of the short cable, it was easy to adjust...

TDK NP100 headphones review
REVIEW
28 December 2004 7:46 GMT
Tweet
TDK’s NP100 headphone set aims clearly at walkman users, and what you see is what you get with them- just the Sony-styled neckband cans and 1.1m of cable.
It’s a good job that this design hugs the ears, so that you’re not taken away from the... -
Half Life 2 - PC review
REVIEW
19 November 2004 7:39 GMT
Tweet
In Late November 1998, what were you doing? Can you even remember? PC Gamers can. They were finally celebrating the release of Half-Life, that game which had been delayed for at least two years. Developers Valve squeezed every last drop from the original...

Doom 3 - PC review
REVIEW
18 October 2004 10:15 GMT
Tweet
Rather than rush in with a review on the first day, we’ve battled demons, fought monsters and come close to death to bring you this review. We went back to the start, completed the two previous versions of this game and realising how things can change...

Pinnacle PCTV USB2 review
REVIEW
12 October 2004 11:36 GMT
Tweet
There’s hardly anything to this Pinnacle kit unlike the massive studio sets we’ve reviewed recently. It’s just the box, the USB lead, the installation CD and that’s it. It’s another device entirely open and honest about the need for USB 2.0 for the minimum...

Dazzle Video Creator 90 video editing software review
REVIEW
11 October 2004 12:14 GMT
Tweet
Look at the package. Aside from the two CDs and manual, this blue box that looks like a child’s fist is all there is to the package, which plugs into your USB 2.0 port after you’ve installed the Pinnacle Studio 9 software. Of the current range, only the...

Pinnacle Studio Moviebox Deluxe 9 review
REVIEW
17 September 2004 0:26 GMT
Tweet
First things first; FA Porsche really shouldn't be taking credit for designing a slab and rounding the edges. The Moviebox looks functional enough, but once you've got two sets of wires going in and out of it, it looks like just another piece of junk...

Easy DVD Copy review
REVIEW
14 September 2004 15:28 GMT
Tweet
For all those who think Easy Media Creator 7 is too expensive, Roxio has slimmed down the bread and butter of the package. So if you want to design your own labels or do anything the big big package does, you'll need a lot more money and go look elsewhere....

PC Relocator Ultra review
REVIEW
12 September 2004 20:58 GMT
Tweet
With a company named Alohabob but based in New York and not Hawaii, the makers’ off-the-wall style immediately attracted us. Unlike Norton Ghost, there wasn’t a trace of the program permanently stuck on your system- in at least three different places...

Jeantech Phong Breeze JNH-60 Case review
REVIEW
17 June 2004 16:41 GMT
Tweet
Although we're not a hardcore PC hardware testing site, here at pocket-lint.co.uk we can't resist a bargain, nor the urge to tell you about one that we find. Also while we deal in PC products occasionally, we haven't been totally blind to the case modding...

REVIEW
14 June 2004 13:19 GMT
Tweet
Power Translator Pro 8 boasts that it will deliver all of your translation needs, back and forth, between English and six other languages (French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian).
There are also four separate “Vocabulary Block... -
Sennheiser PC 155 USB review
REVIEW
10 June 2004 18:13 GMT
Tweet
The PC 155s currently sit at the top of the tree in Sennheiser’s PC headset range but there’s been no skimping on sound quality in comparison with its usual mid-to-high-end hi-fi sets. For £90, there’d better not be - but the company has looked at the...

Perimeter - PC review
REVIEW
26 May 2004 20:36 GMT
Tweet
Every so often in the Real Time Strategy Genre, a game other than the Command and Conquer Series moves gameplay and presentation up a notch. In the late 1990s it was the Total Annihilation and the Warcraft series, and although Warzone 2100 flopped, it...

Audio-Technica iCool ATC-H5 Headphones review
REVIEW
18 May 2004 9:20 GMT
Tweet
Look at the design and it’s easy to tell that the late great iMac has stamped its identity all over the design of these headphones - including its name. It also extends to the cable, which is sealed in clear moulded green and red plastic. The copper wiring...

Sennheiser Master HD 200 review
REVIEW
13 May 2004 16:28 GMT
Tweet
The packaging for these closed-back headphones features someone DJ-ing which should tell you the primary market at which these cans are aimed. In spite of the rugged and rigid plastic exterior the HD 200s feature Sennheiser's usual high build quality....

Iomega Super DVD Writer USB2 review
REVIEW
4 May 2004 13:50 GMT
Tweet
Iomega has a habit of launching new formats of its own before taking a while to catch up with what’s popular, open-ended and widely used. This is the case with its Super DVD range. However by including DVD-RAM support, Iomega keeps one eye out for the...

Labtec Stereo 332 review
REVIEW
7 April 2004 8:51 GMT
Tweet
So many of the headsets we review are sexy, snazzy, offer wireless communication and promise infinite wonders. This headset has the good looks but steadfastly clings to its cable. Even so, that doesn't stop it being one of the best basic sets we've encountered...

Far Cry - PC review
REVIEW
27 March 2004 10:23 GMT
Tweet
It began life as X-Isle, a tech demo for showing off Nvidia’s graphics cards but then someone saw the potential for a game among all the dinosaur dodging. Three years later, developer Crytek Studios realises its dream with Far Cry (FC), which delivers...

Proline DM1945MP3 portable CD/MP3 player review
REVIEW
17 February 2004 11:44 GMT
Tweet
If this looks familiar it's because of heavy TV promotion by its seller, Comet. Its £30 RRP is standard, not just for seasonal sales. When we saw the advertisement, an effective MP3 player for the price of three chart CDs we doubted it was true, so we...
