A question of balance
|
| By: Alan Duggan |
10 August 2010 |
 |
|
Being editor of a sci-tech title offers certain advantages. For example, I often get to hear about scientific and technological breakthroughs in advance of public announcements (mostly, it must be said, because I go looking for them), and I am... |

S for sport
|
| By: Anthony Doman |
2 August 2010 |
|
|
If you’re bemused by the SLS AMG’s R140 000 carbon ceramic brake option (discs only – the standard pads are adequate), look on the bright side. The upgrade provides a lifespan up to four times longer than steel’s. Checking wear can get interesting,... |

Nintendo Wii Fit (for Life)
|
| By: Andrew Solomon |
2 August 2010 |
|
|
The Nintendo Wii Fit Plus has been out for a while already, but even so there are new users of this product (like me) that missed all the hype and now happen to have one in their living room. I’d say that if you’re one of these kinds of buyers then... |

It doesn’t work, dammit
|
| By: Alan Duggan |
27 July 2010 |
|
|
I’m sick of things that don’t work, and I wish someone would do something about it. Take the corkscrew that I used last night in a prolonged and ultimately unsuccessful attempt to open a bottle of good stuff. Having mislaid my regular corkscrew, I... |

Transformers: War for Cybertron: Game Review
Score: 7 out of 10
|
| By: Andrew Solomon |
27 July 2010 |
|
|
Traditionally, games based on TV shows or movies are not really that good. Usually they’re just a cheap attempt at milking the title a little more. This game is not like those games. Firstly, this game is not actually based on the recently popular... |

Singularity: Game Review
Score: 8 out of 10
|
| By: Andrew Solomon |
19 July 2010 |
|
|
I had forgotten how much fun it is to spend one’s evening shooting zombie-like mutant creatures. If this is something that tickles you, then you should give Singularity a spin. It’s got some definite similarities to a bunch of other games,... |

All my own work

“See that there, Bob? ‘This Chevrolet Corvette Engine was handbuilt by... yours truly’.” Under the bonnet, some of the world’s prestigious cars proudly display on a plaque the name of individual engine-builder. General Motors has gone one further:... |

One man converts a pedal dustbin into a smoker
|
| By: Sean Woods |
13 July 2010 |
|
|
Addictions can motivate us to go to great lengths to get our fix; so can necessity. Take John Letherbarrow, for instance - this Capetonian has a serious thing for chillies. In fact, unless his taste buds are on fire and steam is issuing from his... |

Pedalling down under - in a yellow submarine
|
| By: Sean Woods |
29 June 2010 |
|
|
Midget submarines were used to great effect during World War II, now its academia’s turn. Except, this time around, no one will be sneaking into enemy harbours packed with explosives looking to cause maximum mayhem and destruction. Instead, teams... |

Better eyes for football referees
|
| By: Buzz |
28 June 2010 |
|
|
By now, anyone who has been following the World Cup would have heard about the erroneously disallowed England goal. It was clear to all the viewers that it was a goal. It was clear to the players and coaches on both sides. Unfortunately it wasn't... |

Defying the Immutable Laws of Nature
|
| By: Alan Duggan |
15 June 2010 |
|
|
Every once in a while, a group of fun-loving individuals comes up with the idea of rewriting the laws of physics (for the record, these laws contain a fair number of boring codicils) in the interests of scientific progress – and occasionally, with... |

Pure Football: game review
Score: 3,5 out of 10
|
| By: Andrew Solomon |
14 June 2010 |
|
|
When I first heard I’d be reviewing Pure Football amidst the excitement of the FIFA World Cup, I couldn’t believe my luck. The idea that I could watch games and then play a new Xbox game during the short gaps between games fed right into my... |

Pedal to the, er, metal
|
| By: Anthony Doman |
7 June 2010 |
|

The term “electrifying performance” has taken on a whole new meaning with rumours that Swiss ace Fabian Cancellara benefited from an electric motor assist in winning two of cycling’s celebrated classics, the Tour of Flanders and the “hell of the... |

Blur: game review
Score: 8,5 out of 10
|
| By: Andrew Solomon |
1 June 2010 |
|
|
This game is like bumper cars on steroids. It doesn’t make much sense, it’s not connected to reality, but that’s ok because after five minutes of playing, you don’t expect it to make sense. You simply expect to have fun. And fun is definitely what... |
