TV to go, if you can hack it

In today's paper, read a review of Creative's Zen Vision portable video player. Much revised from last's year pug-ugly and overweight Portable Media Center, this tasty little PVP would have a real chance of selling ... if only it weren't so damn hard to get video content into its belly. Too much geekiness is required of the common man to convert TV you might have taped with your DVD recorder.

In games, Black and White 2 (PC) is another attempt at the god game genre which doesn't quite satisfy while Spider-Man 2 (PSP) is a short-lived if entertaining rewiring of the web-slinging, thug-fighting epic from the big consoles.

Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects (PS2/Xbox/PSP) deserves a paragraph of its own for sheer awfulness. Another potentially brilliant licence is wasted by lazy programming and brainless combat.
