Magix Xtreme PhotoStory on CD and DVD 8 review

If all you want to do is make DVDs of your photos, Xtreme PhotoStory does the job, but we'd prefer to be able to create attractive online galleries too.

Cyberlink MediaShow 4 review

A polished slideshow package with great DVD authoring, although there's little else here that isn't available with the free Picasa.

Vidatech Film Writer review

Cut-price scriptwriting software with usefully integrated advice for beginners.

Incomedia Website X5 Evolution 8 review

This program will get your website online quickly, but the modular design approach is limited and templates are mostly cheesy.

Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Plus review

There are a few rough edges, but this is a capable editor that gets the basics right and offers plenty of entertaining diversions.

Gemalto YuuWaa Go

A great idea, but YuuWaa Go's design flaws make it too frustrating to use either as an online storage or as an online backup service.

Codemasters Fuel review

A huge, open world to explore with highly addictive racing. The best arcade-style driving game in years.

EA Games The Sims 3 review

A detailed social simulation with many layers. There's an entire town, and more role-playing elements than before.

Codemasters Overlord II review

Clever level design, plenty of action and some gloriously crude humour make Overlord brilliant fun.
