| Review summary | It lacks the graphical prowess and rich media features of the Xbox 360 and the PS3, but the Nintendo Wii's combination of motion-sensitive controllers and emphasis on gameplay make the ultra-affordable console compelling Read full review |
Sony's PlayStation 3 may be the most expensive next-gen console, and its launch titles aren't very impressive, but its swanky design and bevy of features, including a Blu-ray drive, make it hard to resist Read full review |
While it's neither a must-have upgrade for existing 360 owners nor as feature-packed as the PS3, the Xbox 360 Elite's combination of top-notch gaming and digital media features make it the current game console of choice Read full review |
While it's missing a couple of potentially important features at launch, the Xbox 360 delivers the power and performance of a high-end gaming PC, including impressive digital media and networking features Read full review |

Latest Games console Reviews
Sony DualShock 3
The rumble function is great, but it should have been bundled with the PS3 in the first place
Sony PlayStation 3 (40GB)
The new PS3 is significantly cheaper, with only a slightly smaller hard drive, the loss of the card reader and PS2 backwards compatibility
