REVIEW: Cars 2 (Xbox 360, PS3)
Pixar's Cars 2 races onto the Xbox 360 and PS3 following the release of the summer sequel in cinemas. Have the Disney team pushed the anthropomorphised motors the extra mile, or is this just another Hollywood cash-in?
PREVIEW: Sonos Play:3 hands-on
Sonos, the wireless home streaming speaker maestros, are staking a claim at smaller wallet sizes than usual with the launch of the the Play:3, set to cost £259.99. An entry level system, it not only offers bang for your buck but also introduces a new playful, simplified branding scheme for Sonos. As such, the popular premium S5 speaker gets renamed the Play:5 for instance. We went hands on with the Play:3 to see whether it can match the quality of its renamed sibling.

In the 2011 "Summer of Superheroes" at your local cinema, the big screen Captain America adaptation is arguably the most hotly anticipated of the lot. Veering away from the main plot of the movie to focus on Captain America's earliest missions, Captain America: Super Soldier takes a slightly different tact to other movie-tie ins. Has freedom from the narrative of the movie led to a game better than your average Hollywood cash-in, or is this another super-heroic flop?
REVIEW: Fujifilm Finepix X100
It may look like an analogue relic from a bygone age, but this latest snapper from Fujifilm is full to the brim with ground-breaking, class-leading digital tech that puts other compacts to shame. Is it enough to justify the Finepix X100's whopping price tag though?
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?
