One remote to rule them all

How many remote controls you have got in your house? How often have you been unable to put your hand on the right one when you wanted it? Yeah, me too. All the time. So when Logitech's Harmony 785 supercharged universal remote came along with a promise of replacing them all, well, who'd pass up that chance?

Turns out it's largely true. My setup spans brand-new equipment and ancient gear. The Harmony handled them all, sort of. Read the full review of the Logitech Harmony 785 in today's paper.

In games, Saints Row (Xbox 360) brings a touch of next-gen sheen to the GTA formula without ever advancing the template. Still good crack though. Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (every format known to man) capitalises on the crazy-but-inspired re-enactment of the SW universe with plastic-brick figures. This sequel is more of the same but better: a laugh a minute even for adults.
