Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter

Xbox 360 owners who are yet to own a compatible wireless adapter or are having troubles with their existing one will find the Wireless N networking adapter a useful purchase. The dongle provides wire-free gaming and media streaming on the Xbox 360, albeit at an expensive outlay.

Transcend PF730 digital photo frame

This latest frame is another playful offering from Transcend, and at about $129, it's affordable for a broad audience.

Assassin's Creed 2

One of the most celebrated franchises of the current generation of consoles makes its triumphant return as master assassin Ezio sneaks and slays through the streets of 15th century Italy.

Garmin nuvi 1250 GPS unit

Provided you don't require any advanced features and can live with a small display, Garmin's nuvi 1250 GPS unit offers an excellent navigation experience.

3 INQ Mini 3G mobile phone

3's INQ Mini 3G mobile phone is far from perfect, but it represents decent value for money. Multimedia features aren’t up to scratch and there are limitations at this price point, but the integration of social-networking features, particularly with contacts and messaging menus, is excellent.

Dragon Age: Origins

When we first saw Dragon Age at E3, we walked away sceptical, grumbling at the rough graphics and odd focus on character interactions that bordered on high school level drama. Compared to the butter smooth E3 demo for Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age looked like it would end up being the black sheep of the family. Well, shame on us for doubting the wizards at BioWare: they worked their magic and turned that early demo into another must-have masterpiece. Deep and engaging, it's sure to please any RPG fan looking for a long and satisfying adventure. Even better, it will keep us all busy until Mass Effect 2 comes out in 2010.

MyVideo HD camcorder

The Memorex MyVideo HD pocket camcorder won't bowl you over with its performance or build quality, but its feature set is a good value for the price.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Infinity Ward returns with a follow-up to the critically acclaimed Modern Warfare that has already stirred up controversy over the now infamous airport level. But don't let that distract you from the real discussion: is the game any good? The game definitely has potential but its place in video game history will ultimately be decided by the fanatic online community who may take issue with some of the n00b friendly changes.

Western Digital WD TV Live high-definition media streamer

The latest version of Western Digital's WD TV media player is better than ever. It boasts an Ethernet port and has ability to view YouTube videos and photos on Flickr. The WD TV Live's extensive format support will let you access almost any movie, photo or song.

NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision

The NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision is expensive, yes, but for a hardcore gamer it will improve the depth, realism and immersion that good games provide.

OXX Digital Vantage digital radio

We are very impressed with the Vantage: it has great features, it's aesthetically pleasing and, for a digital radio, it's cheap!

Tekken 6

Tekken fans have reasons to rejoice now that the latest instalment of the 3D fighting franchise has arrived but gamers who haven't closely followed the series may be wondering what Tekken 6 has to offer them.

AliphCom Jawbone Prime Bluetooth headset

AliphCom's Jawbone Prime is one of the best Bluetooth headsets on the market, combining a stylish and unobtrusive design with excellent noise-cancellation technology. We couldn't find a great fit with the included ear buds and incoming audio volume could be louder, but on the whole, this is an excellent headset -- albeit at a premium price.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS42 digital camera

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS42 is an ultra-affordable compact camera that does the basics well. It might not excel in any one area, but at this price, it's not supposed to. A good choice for skint casual users.

Navman C40 GPS unit

At just $199, the Navman C40 is certainly cheap and for the most part it does a reasonable job. It is essentially an older GPS unit with updated software, though; Mio's Moov range is a valid alternative at a similar price.

Adobe Premiere Elements 8

Adobe Premiere Elements 8 is an appealing upgrade for anyone interested in organising videos, editing them, and compiling them into attractive, fun movies. With its underlying power and its significantly improved ease of use, it's a good value.

Mio Moov A350 GPS unit

The Mio Moov A350 represents great value for money. While its performance isn't spectacular, it does a very good job for the asking price. If you're on a budget and need a cheap GPS unit that does the basics, look no further.

Kodak ZI8 HD camcorder

The full-featured Zi8 captures the best HD pocket-camcorder footage we've seen, plus it has shooting options galore. Tere are some interface and key usability issues and digital zoom often get in the way.

Liquid Digital Solutions Agent V5 Full HD webcam

With its high quality picture and recording capabilities, it’s hard to not consider the Agent V5 as a viable webcam option — just make sure you have enough room for it on your desktop.

BlueAnt V1 Voice Control Bluetooth headset

BlueAnt's V1 Voice Control Bluetooth headset possesses the finest voice recognition user interface we've seen.

Bush BR10DAB digital radio

If you’re looking for a simple DAB+ radio, you can’t go wrong with the Bush BR10DAB. It tunes in and plays DAB+ radio without a hassle.

Olin HVBT-2000 set-top box

If you’re looking for a cheap device to make your older television digital TV ready, the Olin HVBT-2000 set-top box is a great choice. It’s simple and fast, with no serious issues (bar a bland interface).

Ghostbusters: The Video Game

Though I was ultimately somewhat disappointed by the flawed and fundamentally repetitive nature of my time as a green recruit, Ghostbusters' tight online component renewed my long-term enthusiasm for slam-dunking slimers. Now I just need to figure out how to get Ray Parker, Jr.'s theme song out of my head.

Pure ONE Classic DAB+ digital radio

As a simple introduction to the glittery world of DAB+ digital radio, the Pure One Classic is a good product. Decent monaural sound, an easy interface and a great design combine to create a digital radio that is equally usable at home or while on the move.

Fuel

An intriguing take on the classic arcade racer formula, there's no doubt that Fuel is an absolute blast as a racing game, but it won't make you forget other recent rubber-burning release from Burnout: Paradise to Pure.

Samsung YP-U4

The YP-U4 is an excellent MP3 player that packs in plenty of cool features for the asking price. While it fails to reach the lofty heights set by its YP-U3 predecessor, it remains a solid offering that won't disappoint the average music fan.

Ubisoft Call of Juarez

Call of Juarez will entertain anyone who is tired of identikit FPS clones. However, the uneven gameplay often resembles a ghost town -- one for cowboy fans only.
