Shiny Video Review: Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for the Nintendo Wii
Simon’s taken out a good few hours of his life to bring you a video review on Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 for the Nintendo Wii. He did it for you. He probably would’ve preferred doing the dishes or cleaning the mud off his bike, but no, he’s an unselfish type of chap who thinks nothing of sitting down for an eight-hour session playing the Wii, just for you. You should thank him, really…
Shiny Video Preview: Panasonic HDC-SD9, HDC-HS9, SDR-S7 and SDR-SW20 camcorders
Yesterday I grabbed a few quick minutes in a noisy room to show you the four models Panasonic has recently launched/announced for their camcorder range, the HDC-SD9, HDC-HS9, SDR-S7 and SDR-SW20.
The former two models offer lovely, scrumptious full-HD, whereas the latter two are standard-def. Take a look above for some…
Shiny Video Preview: Kat plays Rock Band for the first time
Yesterday, as promised, I got hands-on with Rock Band. Now, this will be old news for our US readers, but I was so excited, after waiting months and months for a chance.
It has been given a release date here in the UK of May 23rd, with the price looking set to start at £130…just for the instruments. Take a look in the video above to see me trying my hand at each of the instruments, including the microphone.
WARNING: I am extremely tone-deaf and have never done karaoke sober before. Watch at your own risk.…
Shiny Video Interview: Susi talks 'Visual Networking' with Cisco
We at Shiny Media have teamed up with networking giants Cisco to delve deep into the internet of next Tuesday.
With your help, in the upcoming weeks, we'll be holding a study called "Your World Video" and looking at the explosion video on the web and where we can take it.
So, for a little glimpse of the future, we had Cisco's head of consumer marketing, Patricia Lopez, specially flown in to talk to our Susi about the concept of using video for communication as well as entertainment. They call it "Visual Networking"…
Shiny Video Review: four best PMPs for watching Lost on, from Archos, Creative, Apple and Sony
In case you haven’t been suckered into it, Lost has left our screens for a four-week hiatus, so I thought it was high time to review four of the best PMPs for storing the last four seasons of the addictive show onto, for watching when you’re on the train to work, at the football, or waiting for your colleague who’s in a sex shop.
Take a look above at the video, which we just filmed on the streets of London’s Soho district, for our thoughts on the Archos 605 Wi-fi, Sony PSP, Creative Zen, and Apple iPod Touch….
Shiny Video Preview: Nintendo Wii Fit video game
Susi recently had a session on the upcoming Wii Fit game for Nintendo’s Wii console, so take a look at her attempts to ‘get fit’ in the video above.
Never fear though, as soon you’ll be making a fool of yourself too, when it launches on April the 25th, for £69.99…
Shiny Video Preview: Sony α700, α350 and α200 D-SLRs
This morning I went down to the Sony Alpha exhibition, where climber and photographer Mike Robertson’s photos from his UK tower-scaling stunts are on show to the general public as of tomorrow.
He may’ve taken them on the α700 D-SLR, but at £999, perhaps you and I better look at the α200 and α350 instead, which are all shown…
Shiny Video Preview: Sony Ericsson G700 and G900 mobile phones
The other week I showed you a couple of handsets from Sony Ericsson, which were non-working prototypes. Today, I’ve got another couple similar ones, the G700 and G900, which will be out within the next few months…
Shiny Video Preview: Philips' range of Sonicare toothbrushes
Toothbrushes. They’re not exacty the most interesting technology around, but when Susi clapped her eyes on these new Sonicare electronic models from Philips, it was enough for her to melt into a puddle of quivering goo. Check them out in the video above, and if you fancy any of those germ-busters, your toothy-pegs will be looking…
Shiny Video Preview: Philips' GoGear range of MP3 players
You just saw Susi taking a look at the Design Collection of TVs from Philips, now how about the GoGear MP3 player range? I mentioned one of them, the SA52, the other day which has 4GB of storage and can play…
