Pretty vacant

The first iPod Shuffle didn't look like much and its features weren't much better - that didn't stop it selling a packet. Now Apple has revised the Shuffle with new colours and a pretty, clip-on design. It's still makes more sense as a secondary, part-time player, though. Read the full iPod Shuffle review in today's paper.

In games, think of Crackdown (360) as a giant leap for GTA. Or more specifically, a high-jumping bad-ass superhero who's taking out the trash in a gang-infested metropolis. Bodacious fun, just a little repetitive. Resident Evil 4 comes to PC with the stonking survival-horror epic intact, but is saddled with a poxy control system. Marvel Ultimate Alliance sidesteps onto the Wii, with (of course) motion control tacked on. Fans will like it.
