Big screen on a budget

The heart-stopping price tag on big-screen TVs larger than 42 inches puts many people off trading up but a projector offers an affordable way to get the cinema experience in your own home.

In games, Rayman Raving Rabbids proves the Wii's motion controls do have a great future, if only in quirky/insane mini-games like these.

Happy Feet (Wii) is insulting dross whichever way you look at it.
