Megapixels to the power of ten

Camera makers are locked in an arms race to deliver more megapixels for your money but Casio has trumped them all by offering 10MP in a compact camera. That's three or four megapixels more than similar rivals at the same price point from Sony or Canon. Of course, the headline figure of 10 megapixels doesn't tell the full story, as the review of the Exilim Z1000 in today's paper shows.

In games, Brain Training is threatening to become a media sensation on this side of the planet after taking Japan by storm. A simple collection of quickfire arithmetic games for the DS, it's aimed specifically at people normally intimidated by games and it works surprisingly well. Sin Episodes: Emergence uses the Half-Life 2 visual engine but none of its storytelling smarts to rev up a generic shooter.

Also reviewed is FIFA World Cup 2006 for PSP, whose flaws remain uncorrected from the last version just six months ago.
