3DAvenue.com has one of my PSP reviews up, specifically my review of Medievil for PSP: “On the other hand, the original PSOne title, while lacking the cut scenes, tepid minigames and superlative Tom Baker, goes for around ten bucks on eBay…” Meanwhile, I’m busy working out how best I can help my best mate, whose
They publish that dastardly Kidman everywhere.. Specifically: CNET.com.au has three more of my articles up today: D-Link DGL-4300 Wireless 108G Gaming Router: “… it’s not often that you can use the word “easy” and “networking” in the same sentence, especially if you add “wireless” to the mix.” Ricoh Caplio R3: “If you’ve ever laid awake

As an additional side-note to that iTunes commentary: I noted you could only buy “Intensive Care” on a song-by-song basis, but that’s not in fact strictly true. It is something of a cock-up, though: If you go into the album listing, it says Song Only, and lists the booklet as Album only, and you can’t

I wrote this as a non-specific commentary, but nobody’s bitten on it, so I’m publishing it here So, Apple’s finally managed to launch the iTunes Music store in Australia. Things went live early this morning with plenty of punters eagerly awaiting the chance to legally put music onto their hundreds of thousands of iPods. It’s
