April 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment
There is a line in the Tomb Raider: Anniversary documentary (found on the bonus DVD) that really got me thinking. It was mentioned that Tomb Raider is one of the oldest surviving game franchises around, having been around for 11 years and over seven sequels (if you count just the PC versions). That is practically as long as James Bond if you convert from movie franchise years to PC game years (yes, time is relative).

But, let’s face it my phone’s built-in speakers are just too weak to be heard over in a crowded place. Enter, the Sony Ericsson MPS-70, a tiny portable speaker set that easily connects to any Sony Ericsson Walkman phone and seriously cranks up the volume. The MPS-70 is a peripheral that addresses the need for music on the go and gives you the option of listening to your music without having to wear headphones.... [Read the full story]

Sony serves up another Blu-ray-equipped device to woo consumers to the world of HD. The Sony Vaio VGN-FZ18G is a rather enticing notebook simply because of one thing – its Blu-ray drive.

Inset: The noteboik comes in a nice twotone finish. The notebook also comes with a required software (InterVideo WinDVD BD edition)... [Read the full story]
