The OnLive service streams games to your computer, TV or tablet. It's a really cool concept that we'd recommend checking out, although the games selection isn't amazing, and occasional lag may spoil your fun. Read more

The Xbox 360 Slim is the best console on the market today. It improves on its predecessors with a slick design, reduced fan noise and a generous hard-drive size. Its chassis collects fingerprints like an obsessed forensic scientist, but this machine offers really good value for money Read more

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim review

The PlayStation 3 Slim is the best version yet of Sony's gaming console. Its gaming and media-playback capability is little changed, and Sony's cut some features, like Linux support, but it's smaller, quieter and, crucially, cheaper. If you've been holding off on buying a PS3, this is the version to go for Read more

Still the best value Blu-ray player on the market, the PlayStation has had a hard-drive upgrade to 80GB -- plenty of space to store downloaded games, demos and media. With rapidly improving online services and exclusive games line-up, the PS3 is better than ever Read more

Nintendo Wii review

Underplaying processing power and using a strange new controller setup could have been major mistakes. But we think Nintendo has pulled it off. It's strange, it's new and it's not as powerful as other consoles, but the Wii succeeds in its primary mission: fun Read more

Microsoft Xbox 360 review

The first of the next generation of videogame consoles, the Xbox 360 certainly sets the bar high for Sony and Nintendo. With spectacular graphical ability and a host of multimedia features, it'll fly off the shelves this Christmas. Having said that, the launch games are nothing to shout about -- it may be worth waiting for better titles Read more
