Dick Tracy dream dies

We had high hopes that Sony Ericsson's Bluetooth Watch would fulfil everyone's dream of a phone in a timepiece. Sadly, that's not to be. The chunky watch connects to your phone and tells you about incoming calls and texts, but that's about it. Presumably, the intention is that you can keep your phone in your pocket in a meeting or whatever and still get discreet notification of communications. A rich man's toy if there ever was one, read the full Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Watch MBW-100 review in today's paper.

There's also a brief look at the Logitech FreePulse Wireless Headphones, a transmitter and 'phones combo so you can listen to your iPod without cables. Not a bad performer but prone to annoying audio dropouts.

In games, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops does for the PSP what it did for the PS2: create the definitive stealth-em-up, though its camera flaws spoil the party somewhat.

Submarine sim Silent Hunter 4: Wolves of The Pacific (PC) can be safely ignored if long periods of obsessive hunting followed by a few minutes of intense chase sound like your idea of hell. Intriguing, yes, but widely appealing, no.

Socom: Combined Assault (PS2) needs no introduction: squad shooter with murky graphics but a great online multiplayer. This instalment springs no surprises.

Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (PS3) pales beside an RPG with real brains such as Oblivion.
