Major Mini attack

In this week's column, read about two of the leading contenders for the iPod Mini's mantle of king of the tiny MP3 players.

Creative's Zen Micro and Rio's Carbon both outdo the Mini in terms of raw specs (more capacity, longer battery life, etc) and also manage to be quite good-looking - all for more or less the same price. Get the paper for the final verdict.

In games, Ratchet and Clank III is the best of a stunning trilogy, Sly 2: Band of Thieves is another outstanding platformer, while Viewtiful Joe has more original ideas than half of the top ten titles in any week.
