From £250 Nov 2012

4 out of 5 stars

The new future of consoles starts with Nintendo’s Wii U. Or does it? We hit up the latest gaming hardware to find out

  • Sony PSP Slim & Lite

    4 out of 5 stars

    £140Nov 2007

    The snazziest portable gaming console has been on a diet, but is it worth buying all over again?

  • Sony PS3 40GB

    5 out of 5 stars

    £from 300Oct 2007

    The new stripped down PS3 costs the same as the Xbox 360 Elite – and still packs that fantastic Blu-ray player

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

    5 out of 5 stars

    £300Oct 2007

    Evolution not revolution is the name of the Xbox Elite’s game with an HDMI-out and bigger hard-drive the bait for anyone who managed to resist the original’s charms

  • Sony Playstation 2

    4 out of 5 stars

    £95Sep 2007

    Yes, it's in the twilight of its years, but PS2 isn't quite ready to be put out to pasture yet - two of the best games of the past year are PS2 exclusives, something you can't say of the PS3...

  • Nintendo Wii

    5 out of 5 stars

    £180Nov 2006

    Nintendo’s little white box is determined to inject fun back into gaming – but can it overcome the might of the PS3 and Xbox 360’s next-gen power?

  • Sony Playstation 2 Slim

    5 out of 5 stars

    £130Nov 2006

    An old favourite gets a slimline revamp, and with a gargantuan catalogue of stonking games, who are we to dismiss it?

  • Radica Plug 'n' Play Cricket

    3 out of 5 stars

    £40Nov 2006

    Plug ‘n’ Play cricket takes the Nintendo Wii approach to the sport sim with its motion-sensitive bat and ball. Sadly, it plays a sub-Brian Lara Cricket game

  • Nintendo DS Lite

    5 out of 5 stars

    £100Sep 2006

    The original DS was a bit lardy but this is a leaner, meaner addiction inducing portable console

  • Sony PSP

    5 out of 5 stars

    £180Sep 2006

    The Sony PlayStation Portable comes with its own UMD movie format, has a 4.3in colour screen and a pile of freebie online content

  • Nintendo Game Boy Micro

    5 out of 5 stars

    £70Sep 2006

    Could get you into trouble at work - it's unputdownable.

  • Nintendo DS

    4 out of 5 stars

    £100Sep 2006

    Despite some excellent games and dual screen, the DS fails to step out of the increasingly mighty shadow of the PSP

  • Microsoft Xbox 360 (Premium)

    5 out of 5 stars

    £from 130Sep 2006

    Sod waiting for the PS3 – this is a true gaming and media 360 degree revolution and it’s here now

  • Nokia N-Gage QD

    3 out of 5 stars

    £from freeJul 2006

    Can the N-Gage Mark II take on the portable gaming superpowers of PSP or DS Lite? What do you think?
