Reviews

Avid Studio review An impressive new editor that attempts to bring the best of all worlds to consumer video production – and almost succeeds.

Synology DiskStation DS211j review It isn't the fastest two-bay NAS, but the sheer range of features and excellent web interface at this price make it a winner.

Apple iPad 2 review The second generation iPad is a revision of the original, and it's a shame the screen hasn't been upgraded, but it's still incredibly quick

Sapphire Edge-HD Mini PC review Tiny, silent and with reasonable performance, but Zotac's Zbox is better value.

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.
