The moniker “USB Speakers” might not inspire confidence in a product, but the name B&W should, and for good reason too. They’re no stranger to top notch sound, so when they bring compact speakers aimed at delivering that quality in a 2.0 desktop form factor you can rest assured that they wont under-perform. The Bowers [...]

Friday, October 7th, 2011Three Huawei E586 High-Speed Mobile Broadband Router Reviewed
Thursday, October 6th, 2011Ever since I first reviewed the Novatel MiFi 2352 I’ve been evangelising mobile broadband routers to everyone who’ll listen. And for a good reason, too; they’re awesome. Why? Well, rather than buy a 3G version of, for example, an iPad; you can buy a mobile router and share its connection with every WiFi-enabled device you [...]
hardwrk SATA Adaptor Kit For MacBook Pro Reviewed
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011With the recent addition of an Air to our Mac family, I found myself in envy of its absolutely superb hard drive performance. It’s hard to put into words how nice it is not to wait for things to start, and it’s harder still to go back to using a sluggish, spinning-platter hard drive for [...]
Our man in… Eurogamer Expo 2011
Friday, September 30th, 2011by John Cranston Back for the fourth year running, the Eurogamer Expo is largely unchallenged as the king of UK gaming conventions. Taking place once again at Earls Court in London, this time over four whole days (September 22 – 25), the event had expanded to now fill the main hall at Earls Court One. [...]
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine – Xbox 360 review
Sunday, September 18th, 2011Review by John Cranston “In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war” is the strap-line that describes life in the 41st millennium. Humanity, having expanded across the galaxy, faces destruction not only from within, but also against nightmarish and brutal aliens. In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, a third person shooter developed [...]
Tuff-Luv Marrakesh iPad 2 Case
Monday, June 27th, 2011With its slick, minimalistic and environmentally friendly packaging, that invites you upon a tour of the product itself and permits access to its various functions, and the sheer detail and functionality of this case, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s a prohibitively expensive, hand-made case of European origin. But, in fact, Tuff-Luv manufacture their [...]
Child of Eden – Xbox 360 review
Saturday, June 25th, 2011Review by John Cranston In the 23rd century humanity moves freely amongst the stars, it’s collective memories now stored in a vast network known as Eden. Scientists attempt to introduce Lumi, an artificial intelligence construct, to this database but inadvertently unleash a virus which attacks the memories held within Eden. It’s your job to dive [...]
Motorstorm Apocalypse Review
Saturday, May 28th, 2011I’ve never been a huge fan of racing sims, favouring instead the arcade or novelty alternates of which there are no shortage. Amongst these favourites are Mario Kart, Destruction Derby and 1nsane. Motorstorm has always been another, although I’ve never really gone much further than constantly replaying the demo until Apocalypse turned up. Motorstorm ranks [...]
SteelSeries Siberia Neckband Headset Review
Saturday, May 28th, 2011I’ve never quite understood neckband headsets, and they do take some getting used to. The laws of gravity seem to dictate that having the band on top of your head is the most sensible location, but fashion will always try to run against the grain and thus, and for seemingly no other reason I can [...]
