Red Dead Redemption 2 (£50) After some seriously heated debate involving raised voices, hollow threats, and the odd potato-based projectile, Red Dead Redemption 2 takes the game of the year title and to be frank, it’s one of the best games we’ve played this console generation. Rockstar’s sprawling Western captivated us from start-to-finish, with its […]
Sony WH-1000XM3 Sony already had form for making some of the best active noise-cancelling headphones for relieving tortured ears, but somehow it’s created an even more compelling package with the WH-1000XM3’s. They’re Chesterfield sofa-comfortable, sound fantastic, and zap an even wider array of frequencies than Bose’s QC35 II. In fact, did Bose just get out-Bose’d? […]
Panasonic Lumix TZ200 (£629) The perfect travel compact should capture memories at a moment’s notice. It’s designed to be yanked out of your pocket and take the perfect holiday snap, flexible enough to get close to the action without a big bulky lens, and all while delivering better results than your smartphone. Easy then. Not […]
Sonos Beam (£399) Fresh out of food-based projectiles and suffering from a collective loss of voice, the gadget of the year award looked like it was going to be decided by some sort of mute Royal Rumble, before one Stuffling used their notes app to remind us we should settle this like adults. Sadly with […]
Jaguar I-Pace (£63,925) It’s with a sense of patriotic pride and Land of Hope and Glory emanating from the infotainment system, we can announce Jag’s electric whip takes top prize. As you would expect from a car company with racing pedigree, taking us from A to B was never going to be a dull, but […]
Apple Watch Series 4 (£529) It’s taken Apple four attempts to find its smartwatch feet, but what you’re looking at is the best smartwatch in the world. With the Series 4 in particular, Apple has honed its fancy digital timepiece into a fully baked device that feels greater than the sum of its parts. Whether […]
Oddmar (£4.99) And it’s high ho cartoon viking, anywhere you go now baby! We’ve had that song stuck in our head ever since we picked up Oddmar, the beautifully animated, endlessly charming mobile platformer about a rather lazy viking imbued with magical powers. Admittedly, it all sounds a bit odd – heck, the clue’s in […]
Fuji X-T3 (£1349) Introducing the best APS-C camera on planet Earth. It’s a bold statement, we know, but stick with us. You see, rather than reinvent the wheel, Fuji taken every feature on the already outstanding X-T2 and incrementally upgraded it. The result is an all-round beast of a camera that manages to astound in […]
Fitness Tracker of the Year: Fitbit Charge 3 (£130) With smartwatches becoming commonplace, you may have been wondering whether dedicated fitness trackers were still worth your time. The Fitbit Charge 3 answers that with a resounding ‘yes.’ An easy-to-use workout companion that’s subtle and comfortable, the Charge 3 hits the sweet spot in terms of […]
Apple iPad Mini 4 Speedier than its predecessor and lighter than ever, the dinkiest ‘Pad in Apple’s pack is a dream to prod and poke, wherever you go – thanks to finger-friendly Touch ID tech. The runners-up Amazon Fire Neither the biggest nor the brightest, Amazon’s low-end slab o’ glass is a hard-up hardware fan’s […]
Sony RX10 II Shoot 1/32,000 stills with the RX10 II’s memory-attached sensor and you’ll be left in awe. With a hi-res OLED viewfinder also onboard, this is a cash-happy dream of a bridge camera. The runners-up Canon Powershot G3 X Looking for a new travel-cam? The rugged, weatherproof G3 X will survive pretty much whatever […]
Nest Stick this smart-learning digital dial by your boiler and you’ll never be caught chilly. Algorithms assess time and temperature pairings, whilst geo-fencing and app-controls make it a truly toasty thermo. The runners-up Amazon Echo Less annoying than a constant echo, Amazon’s always-available tabletop tubular assistant is just a tap and a talk away, able […]
