A reappearing spirit, abducted children, flowers and skulls are all featured in this next Hidden Object Adventure game.

When I first read the press release I thought I remembered the View Master name from the dim and distant past with a stereo projector of images from cards. This is a somewhat different idea that uses a viewer face but the images are 360 degree around a feature.

Last year I looked at a new high quality streaming service which also gave you a chance to download and save in 16 or 24 bit. Now with answers to some outstanding questions I look to a new version for Android (3.2) and more.

Rather than a faraway place or fairy tale land, this next game is based closer to home as you explore the mind of a disturbed young woman.

Hour glass or vase shaped are adequate descriptions of the speakers making up this next product.

Not all games have instant appeal. This next title took a while to draw me into its spell.

The last item I reviewed from Sennheiser was a set of earbuds – I did not even know they did earbuds – this is a quality Bluetooth set of headphones. In the past I have reviewed several sets of wired headphones so for those who prefer not to be tethered…

With this next game, the developers have melded together asset management with Hidden Object game play as an author tries to overcome writer’s block.

It is a long way when travelling between Yorkshire and China. However this is the journey made by the Damson Jet and then some as it have continuing on a journey that brought it to London where I can check out this Bluetooth Wireless Stereo Speaker System.

Monster is a name worth considering with headphones, here is – for me anyway – a first a Wi-Fi set called Freedom, most people will have heard of Cristiano Ronaldo the very rich footballer even if they know nothing about the sport.

A wicked Queen and a search for eternal beauty are the central planks for a Living Legends Hidden Object Adventure game.

This is described as a headset but while it does have a microphone it is of the sort attached to a lead and while it is probably fine for phone calls etc. but I found them less than perfect for say speech recognition use, however the headphone part was fine.

It is time to clear the floor and make room for battle to commence as you take on both artificial Intelligent and human opponents in various contests.

This version of Sphero goes far beyond what the previous version could do and that was be controlled by an App to move around, if you were good then you could just about control it, if not it controlled you. Here you teach it.

When I think of Focal I think of quality and these earbuds are rather good. However unlike a lot of items in their catalogue the price they are sold at does not make your eyes water. So these mid-priced earbuds got tested over several weeks.

By chance these came in for review whilst I was learning to use an iPad and it was not a huge chore to listen to music while learning a new operating system and again by chance when I was flicking through the battery properties I came upon a reading that told me the state of the iPad battery which I expected but also the state of these earbuds which I did not expect.

Who would have thought it! Dracula teams up with Van Helsing to thwart an attack on humanity in this next title.

One problem with a sound bar is that to get a good improvement on the ‘naff’ sound coming from your TV is that you really need both the soundbar and a sub-woofer, probably expensive and for a lot of people it needs more space, here a different solution a Soundstage.

I received this unit four months ago only to find nothing I had was compatible. I consulted the list and eventually I got something that worked with it; ironically this was the first iPad to pass over my desk, me being a confirmed Android person.
