GamePark Holdings GP2X review

Reviews We've lost count of the number of failed handhelds and only Sony, with its billions, has been able to make a dent in Nintendo's unquestioned dominance. You simply cannot pick it up and play with the same reckless abandon as a Nintendo DS or Sony PSP.

Tapwave Zodiac1 review

Reviews But it's definitely one of the slickest-looking PDAs out there, and it makes Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP seem like a toy. If you're in the market for a new Palm and you have a bit of gamer in you, Tapwave is hoping you'll consider its Zodiac...

Samsung YH-820 review

Reviews This is a larger, flatter version of the control pads on PlayStation or Nintendo consoles. Impressively, the Samsung YH-820 is smaller than the iPod Mini and weighs in at a mere 85g. The player's 41mm (1.6-inch) colour screen is also a theoretical...

Pioneer DVR-520H review

Reviews The DVR-520H's menus look more old school Nintendo than state of the art Xbox. Pioneer's slim and trim DVD recorder/hard disk combination might be missing an electronic programming guide, but its powerful archiving features and beginner-friendly...

Sony DualShock 3 review

Reviews By contrast, the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii have user-replaceable battery packs. When Sony's PlayStation 3 came out in late 2006, much was made over the fact that the new Sixaxis wireless controller that shipped with the system didn't offer any...

Toshiba Regza 26WLT66 review

Reviews The addition of a component input means you could also have a Nintendo Wii or Xbox 360 too. Not everyone wants a huge screen in their living room and even those who do sometimes need a second set for a bedroom, study or maybe for a games console.

Acer AT4220 review

Reviews There is also component in, which will be handy for gamers with either the Nintendo Wii or Microsoft Xbox 360. Acer isn't the best-known name in televisions, so its AT4220 might not be the first choice for those looking for a sensibly priced 42...

LG FM37 review

Reviews LG has, however, bundled a couple of fun colourful games, both of which require you to poke the screen à la Nintendo DS. LG's FM37 is one of the most seductive-looking players we've seen this year. With a large touchscreen navigation system...

Sony PlayStation 2 (slim form factor) review

Reviews Nevertheless, this superslim unit replaces Nintendo's GameCube as the most-portable home-gaming console. But with the PlayStation 3 not expected to hit store shelves until sometime in 2006, Sony has given its venerable cash cow a makeover.

Nyko Perfect Shot (Wii) review

Reviews We've seen our fair share of Wii accessories by now -- most of them meaningless plastic encasings providing no real advantage over just using the Wii remote by itself. But with the Perfect Shot from Nyko, we're finally seeing a practical...

Microsoft Xbox 360 review

Reviews Console and PC gamers have long been divided into two camps. Certainly, there are those of us who play on multiple platforms, but hard-core PC gamers tend to eschew 'mainstream' console games, while committed console gamers can sometimes be heard...

Gaming laptops

Reviews There's a common misconception that laptops are no good for playing games on, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Continuous advancements in mobile graphics technology mean laptops can now push enough polygons to make an Xbox 360 look over...

Samsung LE46F86 review

Reviews There are also analogue inputs in the form of component RCA connections for HD for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and some upscaling DVD players. Not so long ago, 1080p screens were a relative rarity. Now you can't throw a scone without hitting one.
