Puzzle game ConnecToo reviewed

Review time again. This week, we’ve been taking a look at another puzzle game, this time Connectoo by Rudolf Halmi.

Motorola Milestone (DROID) review

I’ve cheated on my HTC Hero – I spent the last few days playing around with a Motorola Milestone (kindly supplied by Motorola’s PR people), and I’m impressed. This is a seriously slick phone. Upon taking receipt of the review unit, I have … Read more
