Slim (GSA-E50L)

If there's one good thing to come out of the next-gen DVD format war, it's the plummeting price range of standard-definition optical drives, which are now more affordable than ever. Those who have yet to commit to either Blu-ray or HD DVD are truly s...

PSP (Slim and Lite)

Portable gaming devices are curiously fickle inventions. From the desperately morphing N-Gage to the triumphantly evolving Gameboy, they rarely stay in one size, shape or colour for long. It would seem that console manufacturers are unwilling to leav...

Space Ace HD

It's altogether likely that you've never heard of Space Ace. Originally released in 1984 by Don Bluth Studios, it was an unofficial follow-up to the hugely popular laser disc arcade game Dragon's Lair ...and regrettably, it has forever lived in its b...

Panasonic HDC-SX5

Keeping up with the camcorder industry can be a pretty tough undertaking. Sometimes, it feels like a new video format is launched every other week, with no end to the madness in sight. Whenever we turn our backs, another form of recordable media leap...

Cyberlink PowerDirector 6.0

The nonlinear editing process can be a daunting prospect for first-time filmmakers. From correcting shaky footage to applying subliminal transitions, the huge array of options - both practical and artistic - are often baffling. Cyberlink, better know...

In Pictures: Halo 3

There's no denying it -- Halo 3 is the biggest videogame in history. No other game has had as much hype, built-up fan anticipation nor the marketing push (try $10 million in the US alone) as the last chapter of the premiere franchise in console gamin...

Sony DCR-HC38

With all the hullabaloo surrounding high-definition video, it's easy to overlook the abundance of 'regular' Mini DV cameras still on the market - many of which remain perfectly adequate for today's consumer. While they are unable to capture video at ...

Panasonic HDC-SD5

Along with rival manufacturer Sony, Panasonic is touting the AVCHD recording format as 'the next big thing' in high definition video. The main benefit of AVCHD is its superior compression rate over MPEG-2; an old video codec which is around 50 per ce...

Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2

The gulf which separates amateur photographers from industry professionals is growing smaller by the year. Armed with just an entry-level compact camera and a rudimentary editing package, it is now possible to produce great looking shots almost effor...

Sony HDR-SR7

For all intents and purposes, the Sony HDR-SR7 is the same camera as the [[prodid: 3980]], but with a smaller 60GB hard drive. Otherwise, it shares an identical feature set with its bigger brother; including an unchanged lens and sensor, a 6.1-megapi...
