Nintendo 3DS review A bewildering array of technology in a compact package, the Nintendo 3DS has huge potential.

Gray Matter review We were swept away by this lovely adventure's depth and characterisation

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 review It's a big improvement over the previous version of IE, but its Windows-centric approach means that Chrome is a better choice.

Panasonic Viera TX-L32E30B review It may not be cheap, but the quality is amazing and the list of features huge.

Total War: Shogun 2 review With none of the flaws of recent versions, Shogun 2 brilliantly blends strategy and action in a sumptuously rendered historical setting.

Ginger6 G6 Fusion GTX 460i review This PC looks great, runs quietly and has a fantastic monitor and graphics card, and squeezes a lot of power out of a modest processor. It's a good bet if gaming is your main priority.

Xigmatek Pantheon review It has some useful features, but the plain design and questionable cooling potential can’t match other cases.

Chillblast Fusion Aurora review Chillblast has balanced price and performance perfectly to build a superb mid-priced desktop PC.

Bulletstorm review In spite of the crude humour and short campaign, Bulletstorm is a fantastic FPS. It’s not big or clever, but it is a whole lot of fun.

Altaro Oops!Backup review A superb backup program - only the fairly expensive multi-user licence keeps it from an award.

Apple MacBook Pro 15in (2011) review Stunning performance, amazing new tech and a great design, but the astronomical price makes the new MacBook Pro for professionals only.

Philips Cinema 21:9 58PFL9955H review Impressive image quality and great looks, but crosstalk is a problem in 3D

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ18 review Builds on its excellent predecessor with more of everything, but the competition has caught up.
