Battlefield 3 - Living up to the hype!

After the trailers, the trash talking and the rather controversial multiplayer beta, DICE’s highly awaited first-person shooter, Battlefield 3 has finally arrived. It carries with it the expectations of millions or at least thousands of gamers, who’ve been looking for their next online fix. And thankfully, it does not disappoint. Now, the Battlefield series (not to be confused with DICE’s Bad Company games) has always provided players with a deep multiplayer experience, but this time around, DICE strapped on a single player campaign as well. The story puts players in the boots of a US Marine named Sgt Black, who via flash backs during...

Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro Android Smartphone Review

With Sony Ericsson as a company undergoing a slight change, one would expect their devices to do so as well. Sadly that’s not the case, however, there never really was a general cause of concern for users to take up issue with too many of SE’s devices with regards to functionality or style. The same can be said about the newly launched Xperia Pro. Here’s a closer look. Form Factor Available in 3 colors – silver, black and red with a chrome rim and a superbly slick slide-out QWERTY keypad, the Xperia Pro gets high scores in the design segment.

Lenovo IdeaPad K1 Review

Lenovo failed to deliver on their promise of the Le Pad but at least we have a part of it in the form of the IdeaPad K1 tablet. If you look at the pictures more closely, you'll notice the K1 and the tablet portion of Le Pad are virtually identical. The company announced this along with two other tablets a couple of weeks back in a rather grand spectacle. This is Lenovo's first foray in the world of Android tablets and it faces stiff competition from the iPad 2, Motorola Xoom and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 750. The K1 looks rock solid on paper, but what is it actually like in the real world, is what we are about to find out today. Design...


Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V Compact Camera Review

The camera market these days is swamped with a variety of cameras that serve different purposes, leaving consumers with plenty of choices to pick from. Most people do not opt for DSLR cameras because of the high price as well as the fact that they may be a bit difficult to use. That’s where super zooms come in; they do not offer the image quality or even the settings that are found on a DSLR, but they look awfully similar. However, this may not be feasible for travellers as they would want these zoom capabilities as well as the ability to tweak settings to a certain extent within a compact package. The pop-up flash has a sturdy build As...
