With 50 million units sold over all platforms and a new sale being generated every 4.3 seconds, the original Bejeweled title makes a welcome return with version 2.

This Pace unit (badged Philips) was the first HD unit I saw in a presentation in the spring, here now the production unit. If you need HD recording then this 500GB digital unit may just tick all the boxes on your wish list.

It is time to visit the Whitechapel area of London in the late 1880’s as you attempt to solve the murders that continue to confound the experts.

It's a while since I've looked at a hard-disk video recorder so I was eager to see what innovations the SmartBox 8320HD could bring to our family entertainment.

Calling all budding pop stars!! If you love Simon Cowell's flagship TV pop phenomena then this a fun item built just for you.

I'm sitting in my living room listening to 2Day FM - my daughters favourite Austrailian radio station. Welcom to Internet Radio!

Games at ten-a-penny might seem like wishful thinking but that is what you get with an offering in the GSP Click & Play series.

It's about a year since I last looked at a digital photo frame. The latest incarnation from Kodak has a number of excellent innovations that make loading your images that much easier and at the same time provide a marked improvement in the screen.

If someone told you you could make a ball fly in the air using the power of your mind - would you believe it. We were certainly sceptical - but it's true! This game is just brilliant top notch fun!

Late this summer I discovered a charming gift shop not that far from London. It has a whole range of items at affordable prices. Just in case you do not live that near they have a web site and of course they do mail order.

Put together famous paintings, kidnappers and a criminally inclined collector of works of art results in a new game published by Alawar.

In the early summer I saw a range of Sony audio and photography items. I have already told you about both the photography items I selected. Here is a rather neat stack system that for me stood out as the item to request.

An evil witch, broken mirrors, a helpful fairy and a cursed castle all play their part in a Gogii title now available on the Avanquest GSP label.

For some years there has been a growing market for replacement remote controls for audio-visual products - usually cramming the functions of many separate devices into one easy to use replacement. The Xsight Touch Remote Control from "One-for-All" is the ultimate example of this genre.

Blu-ray players used to be rather expensive. Now a unit costs less than its predecessor and has more functions. So smaller neater cheaper and more functionality seems to be the way to go with the latest model from Sony.

As computers have become faster and capable of displaying realistic graphics so our virtual heroes have developed muscles and gymnastic moves we can only dream about. Yes the Prince is back.

This is I believe the first such product from a known name – yes the Powermat was earlier at 10-1-10 – but for me anyway Powermat was not a known name whereas Duracell are known for their various types of batteries.

Robots, a flying house and cartoon graphics all come together in a couple of games developed from two popular films.

While you may have thought that after escaping from Rosecliff Island, you would be able to relax for a period but you would be wrong. Those diabolical and inventive people at Spintop Games have other ideas for your immediate future. Allowing you to believe that you were merely on a peaceful trip through the countryside, the developers came up with the idea of an earthquake which leaves you trapped in an abandoned village. Your only hope for survival is to Escape Whisper Valley.

These earphones are truly impressive. From sharp and clear highs through superbly natural mid-range and right on down to their speciality - a round and resonant bass - the Audeos punch well above their weight in the price/performance stakes.

My early morning slumbers have been interrupted recently as I have been testing a radio alarm clock with iPod and bed shaker features.

While the majority of titles in the Avanquest Click & Play catalogue consist of a single game per product, some more recent additions include a bonus title. In fact the latest Click & Play title I have been looking at has four different games.

While you might think I had a chip on my shoulder, it is more likely to be a chimp.

First let me admit I am a frustrated drummer, second as regular readers will know I am a big jazz fan. However life does not always/sometimes/hardy ever give you what you want, here however for £25 I can enjoy myself.

One thing that I can say for certain is that those creative people at Playrix obviously do not suffer from ichthyophobia. The reason I say this is that if they did then they would not have developed so many titles based on aquatic themes and the building up of aquariums. The latest title to fall into this category is Fishdom 2 Premium Edition.

With Christmas want lists abounding one item high on a lot of them will be an electric guitar. Will this be something that is a fad or just possibly is your child a real musician? For £25 the Paper Jamz Guitar may just tell you if you should make the next step.

At a recent event from PC World to showcase Xmas items (sorry yes Christmas is coming) this 22inch TV was the main item that took my eye, quite small in size, light to move yet it still has a 22inch screen and has a DVD built in.

The invitation from Alawar welcomes you to the club as you join in the hunt for the mythical Snark in the company’s latest game.

It is deerstalker, pipe and violin time as you use your magnifying glass to search for clues to help solve a number of cases.

A visit to a hotel is meant to be a restful experience but sometimes other matters can take over and make you work throughout your stay.
