X-Men Origins: Wolverine - DVD
Is this just a case of franchise expansion? 16 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
It’s a solid companion to the X-Men trilogy, and Hugh Jackman effortlessly nails the part. And surprisingly, the appearance of The Black Eyed Peas’ Will.I.Am causes no distress

The Bad
Some underwhelming casting and the sense that franchise expansion was the prime aim

Verdict
It’s a dynamic, entertaining and solid piece of cinema that won’t disappoint fans of the series - yet it won’t wow them either

Price

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 - PS3
Lower league football? 23 November 2009 19:01 GMT

The Good
Realistic looking player faces, great fun in local multiplayer

The Bad
Online still broken, AI not up to scratch

Verdict
Once again the former king of the footballing genre stumbles well short of greatness

Thinking outside the Xbox 18 November 2009 10:16 GMT

The Good
Attractive interface, 400+ on-demand films, easy navigation and streaming

The Bad
Occasional buffering delays, expense to non-Sky subscribers, no Freeview channels or iPlayer

Verdict
For non-Sky converts, you get what you pay for; an expensive though an excellent IPTV solution that fits seamlessly into the Xbox experience. For existing Sky subscribers, it’s a must-have no-brainer; grab yourself Sky in the bedroom, or even in another property, for the cost of Xbox LIVE Gold

The Good
Incredibly powerful for such a compact machine, stylish, well made

The Bad
Not as portable as other VAIOs, light bleed from LED screen

Verdict
With one of the most powerful graphics cards we’ve seen in a laptop of this size, the VAIO CW1S1E is one of the most complete packages currently available

Price

The Good

The Good

The Good
Email service, screen quality

The Bad

Will this keep you safe online? 5 November 2009 10:21 GMT

The Good
Approachable interface, easy to use, free version still very appealing

The Bad
Range of tools and performance lags behind faster-evolving rivals, scan times better but still comparatively slow, few significant additions in this version

AVG hasn’t done anything radical with version 9, and while existing users may still be satisfied with an upgrade, there are a range of more capable rivals now available

Price

A worthy successor to the original? 12 November 2009 18:24 GMT

The Good
Brilliant multiplayer, Spec Ops mode

The Bad
Single player still too short and a little unfair

Verdict
A brilliant overall package, only slightly let down by the slightly less than amazing single player story

Price

The Good
Compact, great suction, can switch off the brush, lightweight

The Bad
Cable and hose are too short

Verdict
If you are short on space but don't want to compromise on suck, then the Vax Mach Air is an impressive cleaner and will get pretty much anything out of your carpets

The Good
3D power, neat design, compact and fast

Public Enemies - DVD
Another Michael Mann classic? 30 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
It’s beautifully shot, with some sumptuous photography

The Bad
It feels like it doesn’t do enough with its subject matter, while Bale is fast developing into a predictable and tedious character rut

Verdict
Undoubtedly suave, beautifully shot and smoothly put together, Public Enemies still weirdly fails to hit the spot

Price

Casa Bugatti Vera Kettle
The Veyron of the kitchen? 29 October 2009 16:07 GMT

The Good
Head-turningly good design, clever LED display, super fast boil and programmable timer

The Bad
Eye-wateringly expensive, tricky to fill, fiddly controls and wasteful

Verdict
A must have accessory for kitchen fashionistas, but as a basic water boiler it’s harder to use than a cheap plastic student kettle

Price

Is this a Micro Four Thirds competitor? 10 November 2009 6:00 GMT

The Good
Build quality, EVF is excellent, slide quality is reassuring

The Bad
Price, new system means limited options

Verdict
From what we've seen from our initial hands-on the idea of changing lens units no longer seems so laughable

Price
£419 (body) + £330 (Ricoh lens)
Sony Ericsson U10i Aino mobile phone
Accesses your PS3, but what else? 2 November 2009 13:35 GMT

The Good
Build and hardware design, BBC iPlayer, PS3 link, DNLA certified, dock and MH100 Bluetooth headphone adapter

The Bad
Operating system looking dated, lacks customisation and app options that rivals offer, battery life, 8MP camera flawed

Verdict
Packed with features and a full set of tech specs, the Aino is a unique offering, but doesn't hang together quite right or offer the flexibility of other premium handsets

Great hardware, more compact than previously

The Bad
Loss of UMD drive makes old games useless, no background downloading of games, price

The Good
True sandbox game, looks pretty good, variety in missions

The Bad
Campaign is a little short, obvious bugs

Verdict
Despite the bugs in the initial playable content, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will entertain, but won't quite leave the impression that the original did

Nokia N900 mobile phone
Will this revive Nokia's fortunes? 23 November 2009 15:44 GMT

The Good
Good hardware, bags of potential, multitasking options

The Bad
Battery life, lack of apps, lacks aspect switching

Verdict
The N900 is an extremely capable handset but it needs aspect switching for the home pages, it needs the Flash support enhancing and it needs to develop the app offering. Until these things arrive the N900 is a supporting role, rather than the star of the show

Will this brighten up your computer? 27 October 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Great design, small foot print, colour options

Didn't find what you want?

Are you having trouble finding what you are looking for? Below are a few tips that should help you get the best results from our search engine.

Be Specific

Try to think of words that would best describe the product such who makes it or how many megapixels it has. Our search engine does not recognize "and", "or" "the" or similar words so don't worry about putting them in as search terms.

Spelling

Typos are the most common reason for unsatisfactory search results. If you're not sure how to spell a product or brand name try a more general term.

Tags

If you still can't find what you are looking for, then why not try our tag index where we have tags all our stories with words we think will help you find information quickly. You can choose to look at the tags either via which are the most popular, or via an alphabetical list.
