The World Ends With You begins when the hero, Neku, receives a message on his phone warning him that he will cease to exist unless he completes a certain mission. Check out what one of our users, Tel, thinks of this new title for the Nintendo DS.

The game could be considered hard to find, but it’s worth it to experience a jRPG that offers a new twist to fan of the genre.

Civilisation Revolution is available on Xbox360, PS3 & Nintendo DS. Check out what one of our users, Tel, thinks about the latest installment of Sid Meiers series.

If you’re a fan of past Civ games, you will enjoy this game, but there will be times were a missing level of detail will nag at you. You’ll find yourself surprised and delighted by the additions, but your long-term enjoyment will hinge on your ability to overlook its flaws.

Check out the full review after the jump.

I’ve been through alotta universal remotes, and this is the first one that i actually really really like.

The clever thing about this remote, it remembers what state everything is in - so i can switch from xbox mode to the apple airportexpress through to the hard drive recorder to … a gazillion other combo for all the different modes the home theatre needs to be in. It knows what state it left the tv, amp, wii and everything else in, so i knows all the signals to beam to get to the new mode.

I have a new laptop, and it’s finally small enough to be called a gadget.

This is the ASUS EeePc. Today you can buy the Linux version for $500, and the Windows version for $600 at DSE.

Continue on ‘More’ for the rest of the review.

When I bought mine 3 months ago they had sold out almost everywhere, so I got the last black eeePc in Wellington, the display model at Vivian street DSE. I had to walk through a crowd of fat men in sparkly pyjamas and cowboys hats to get it (there was a fire alarm at a brothel in vivian street.). It was worth it.

It’s an ultra-portable laptop, with 7 inch screen. It’s completely solid state, looks like it could be dropped a few times, and so light/small I take it nearly everwhere. It fits in some really tiny bags, so i don’t need my “please mug me I have a laptop” bags.

These gizmos are rather wonderful, especially the price tag, and passing the $100 savings from not buying windows directly onto the buyer.
