When entering the world of Age of Enigma you are not involved in code breaking but have the opportunity to chat with and help a series of ghosts

iLuv have a range of earbuds and now it includes headsets. Here I am looking at myMusic a flat wire (no tangle) earbud with hands free microphone and second Sweet Cotton a 2 in 1 with Speak EZ Remote over ear headphones.

Roberts products are always towards the higher quality end and therefore cheaper alternatives are always available. So what exactly does this stereo iPod dock with clock and DAB and FM radio offer that others do not?

As part of Focus Multimedia’s BlackLime catalogue of budget priced titles, A Gypsy’s Tale: The Tower of Secrets is a Hidden Object game that has more than a touch of Adventure game play to keep you on your toes.

The first allows you to connect your device Wirelessly, the second is a speaker dock for your iPod or iPhone that can be powered by ‘AAA’ barriers or mains. The first in traditional black, while the seconds come in four striking colours.

While some series offer a variety of game styles, Popcap's Amazing Adventure series is firmly entrenched in the Hidden Object genre.

TV’s are getting larger and are no longer just a device to take external connections, hence the word ‘Smart’ as now they do not even have to have an Ethernet connection as a reasonably good wireless link will do it all for you.

Are you ready for a journey that will take you to five different locations? If so then maybe it is time to join the Unsolved Mystery Club.

Recently I have been coming across more and more speaker products that rely on Bluetooth technology as the main method for delivering audio content to them.

Turn the light off and the computer sound up is the way the developers of this next game believe it should be played. I must admit I did not take their advice.

Combining a patriotic look with a portable DAB radio, View Quest has gone for a slang name for England when naming its product.

You could find yourself burning the midnight oil as you try to complete just one more puzzle board in the latest Jewel Quest title.

Not entirely new as I am told this first launched more than eighteen months ago. However at an event specifically to showoff its larger sibling I left with one of these smaller units to review. The brand new larger unit will follow later.

Tt can be worrying (well only slightly) if you are put in the situation where you come across a product with the word "Retro" in the title and you realise that you can remember this particular look from your youth or even later. Surely Retro has to mean before "my time" but sadly that seems to be no longer the case. In my defence I will state that with this next item, the Retro designation did refer to the appearance of the product rather than its in-built functionality wh

A while ago someone who knows more about audio than most, told me that the CD would become niche –like vinyl – I was unaware such a revolution was taking place, but it does mean that higher quality audio is now downloadable.

Recently the Sony team was out in force at a Central London location to demonstrate some of the company’s new products that could end up on your wish list for the Christmas season.

Friendly ghosts, shimmering portals and dual locations meet up with an evil spirit in a Hidden Object Adventure game available from Avanquest

A while ago I reviewed another high quality device from Audyssey. Here a Wireless device that can also be attached via 3.5mm cable. However this is mainly Wireless – and I mean Wireless – not Bluetooth and can be used in several ways.

Having recently discovered the Bayan 3 I am looking at its bigger sibling the Bayan 7. This is the biggest and they also do a ‘Grand’ however it is still designed as an iPod player but you would definitely not move it too often.

Keeping your customers satisfied is the aim of this next game as you run a made-to-order store in fashionable parts of town.

This consists on a pair of glasses with earbuds connected by a short lead to a small box. My thoughts go back to early handheld CD players however here you not only get sound but also vision and the box has an Android system.

Aliph has recently introduced a big brother to its original Jambox audio device.

To some Bounty is a tasty treat that combines a chocolate coating with a coconut filling. Others will immediately think of Bounty as being a reward on offer for completing a specific task. Really the concepts are not all that different as a Bounty bar could be your reward for completing a job of work. Bounty is also the title of a match-3 and puzzle solving game developed by Total Eclipse.

Forget among a split personality, in this next game you can switch your role backwards and forwards between four characters.

Speaker units have been a popular topic of late when I have been reviewing items. One such product is a speaker set from Sandberg.

Time to join a school of magic and increase your powers through the use of words.

With a title like Jambox you might think it was a container to store your preserves but instead it is a device for enhancing audio.

Regular readers will know I bemoan the lack of manuals in the box, many think the iPod is easy to use but it has more to offer. The second book in the same series is for Motorola’s Zoom, both these tomes offer help and advice.

Alongside its normal catalogue of games, Focus Multimedia has introduced its BlackLime budget line of titles. This next game is one such offering

First from Revell a very light remote control radio car that can even do tricks in the hands of a skilled child. Second something that may encourage a child to use their imagination rather than require something to imagine for them.
