REVIEW: Teufel Concept D 500 THX PC speakers
PC speakers come in many shapes, sizes and price brackets. While most of the time we'll be happy to sift through our iTunes catalogue with a respectably priced and spec'ed set of desktop noise makers, the audiophile in everyone sometimes wants a little bit more class to go along with those lossless tracks. Enter then the Teufel Concept D 500 THX PC speakers; massive in both physical size and pricing and packing THX certification, does more dough equate to more sonic bang for your buck?

Limbo, the finest downloadable game to hit the Xbox Live Arcade store last year (and arguably ever), is to finally get a release on the PlayStation 3 through the PlayStation Network Store and the PC through Steam. Heading over to…
REVIEW: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (Nintendo 3DS)
What would you get if you stripped away the often-rubbish story flak from the most recent Resident Evil games and focussed purely on the baddie-blasting action? Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, that's what. The first truly adults-only game for the 3DS, can a title that began life as bonus game mode stand tall against other entries in the veritable horror series?
REVIEW: JBL OnBeat iPad / iPod speaker dock
iPhone/iPod docks are two-a-penny these days, but iPad docks? Even more than a year after the tablet's launch, they're still a relative rarity.

REVIEW: Jamo In40i wEAR earphones
Jamo may be best known for creating top-end home audio speakers and home cinema sets, but this summer sees them branching out into earphone manufacturing too. Made up of three sets including the In20m and In30, we took a look at their wEAR range's premium pair, the wEAR In40i earphones. Can they match the quality that Jamo owners Klipsch's earphones regularly present?
REVIEW: Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium Edition (PC)
Just as the clickity-clackity sound of the humble typewriter was superseded by the tip-tap of the PC keyboard, could we soon replace even this staple PC accessory with merely the power of our voices? That's more-or-less the idea behind the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11 Premium speech recognition software from Nuance, offering advanced dictation and hands-free PC navigation controls. Is it time to unplug your keyboard and warm up your vocal chords? Read on to find out
REVIEW: Livescribe Echo smartpen
A significant step up from a trusty old Bic, the Livescribe Echo smartpen takes note taking to a whole new level by allowing you to sync audio to your scribbles and send them all over the web in just a few simple steps. But can it achieve results any more accurate than a fast hand and attentive ear couldn't manage just as well with a humble biro? Read on to find out.
REVIEW: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play smartphone
After months, years even, of rumours of a mythical "PSP Phone" Sony Ericsson finally revealed the PlayStation-certified Xperia play at MWC 2011.With the handset finally touching down in the US this week, even more gamers will be able to get some Android/PlayStation hybrid action very soon. But can the Xperia Play live up to the expectations years' worth of whispers have left it with, or will it suffer the same sorry fate as Nokia's N-Gage gaming/mobile crossover?
GALLERY: LA Noire and the uncanny beauty of MotionScan
Though far from being a perfect game (as you'll discover from reading our full review) LA Noire is without doubt as good looking as a sultry Hollywood femme fatale. From the superb art direction that sees LA circa. 1947 vibrantly…
REVIEW: LA Noire (PS3, Xbox 360)
Played from the perspective of the law-makers rather than the law-breakers, Rockstar's latest epic is a far cry from the destructive hi-jinks of the Grand Theft Auto series. But is LA Noire a "hardboiled thriller", or more like a hardboiled egg?
