F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Review (Xbox 360)
Posted on February 18, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
Fear Alma – again. F.E.A.R., the seminal classic shooter, revitalised a tired FPS genre with a great mix of horror, gunplay and Matrix style slow-motion action sequences that proved a huge amount of fun.

It isn’t that often that a gadget comes along that makes you stop and think – and I really mean that, not just an instant ‘I want one’ of the latest iPod but something that looks like it could be a taste of the future. The Sony E-Reader is just such a gadget. I was [...]

Posted on February 3, 2009 Written by Leave a Comment
We’ve already mentioned the P series here, but I couldn’t fail to mention it again after seeing one of these in action. This diminutive little thing is incredibly light, has a wonderfully luxurious wide screen, a GPS, 3G and a design to die for. Perhaps the only thing that you won’t like is the size [...]
