Please excuse me Microsoft for just stealing an image from your site, I just want to say that my last two purchases from Microsoft have been excellent value for money – first Windows 7 Home Premium with both 32- and 64-bit versions for fifty quid, and now the camera you can see to the leftContinue reading “Review: Microsoft LifeCam Cinema”

Review: Max and the Magic Marker
It’s not often I buy a WiiWare game. For my money the only one worth the Wii points has been World of Goo (though I did buy Swords and Soldiers and Bomberman Blast). World of Goo is now joined by Max and the Magic Marker. Max is the story of a young boy whoContinue reading “Review: Max and the Magic Marker”
Review: Humax Foxsat-HDR
Intro We live in France, so normally UK TV is unavailable to us through the aerial. However, the satellite that feeds Sky TV in the UK also feeds most of western Europe with other channels, so equipped with a secondhand Skybox, we have been able to watch the FTV and FTA channels broadcast to theContinue reading “Review: Humax Foxsat-HDR”
Review: Superplexus
Superplexus is a 3D maze toy that involves you turning a plastic ball around and around on all axes trying to get a ball bearing from 1-100. Although it was a flop for manufacturer Tiger Electronics when released in 2002, it’s an excellent pastime for “grown-ups” who are waiting on a render, or want toContinue reading “Review: Superplexus”
Review: Canon Digital Ixus 95 IS
We’ve had a Pentax Optio for a few years now. It replaced our Fuji that was our first digital camera, so the immediate leap in resolution, screen size, speed and image quality amazed us. This replacement comes faster on the heels of the Pentax, but even so, amazes us in its own way. One ofContinue reading “Review: Canon Digital Ixus 95 IS”
Review: acekard 2i
The acekard 2i is a card for running homebrew DS software. It sits in the slot where you’d normally put your game of choice and can be used quite successfully to run dodgy copies of games as it turns out, but my main reason for getting it was to get reading material on my DSi.Continue reading “Review: acekard 2i”
Review: Gremlins (1984)
This film still had a 15 certificate on DVD, so I was a little worried about watching it with my son, but really the rating is a little confusing. The only bad language in Gremlins217 is someone getting called an asshole, and the violence is nothing worse than Doctor Who and a lot less realistic.Continue reading “Review: Gremlins (1984)”
Review: Picross
Picross? Pic-crack more like. This is a very simple game, a bit like the old logic problems, but reduced to even simpler aims. There was a game on the GameBoy Advance called Mario’s Picross originally, and this is a DS version with all the abilities that the DS brings. In smaller puzzles, like the starterContinue reading “Review: Picross”
Review: Blast from the Past (1999)
Blast from the Past (219) is a sweet little film. The story revolves around Christopher Walken’s character Calvin and his pregnant wife Helen, played by Sissy Spacek. Calvin is a scientist who makes his own fallout shelter in the garden of his house because of growing nuclear tensions. There is a party in the house,Continue reading “Review: Blast from the Past (1999)”
Review: Donnie Darko (2001)
Not your average teenage film… Donnie Darko is like a piece of jazz, it plays all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order. That doesn’t stop it from being an enjoyable experience by any means, but it does mean that when the film ends you will more than likely be nonplussed byContinue reading “Review: Donnie Darko (2001)”
