You would think that, having used QuickBooks in our parent company for many years, would make writing a review on this product a lot easier. Yes and no. It is easier because you know how it works and your business will be totally lost without it but on the other hand, we probably only utilise a fraction of its potential. Just like our brains, I guess….
That means there are a lot of functions and features in the program that we never use but these may be just the key elements for other businesses so we'll quickly list them as well.

Assasins Creed BrotherHood.jpg

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is the third in a series of games that mix renaissance Italy and the exploits of a secret group of assassins that penetrates all the way into modern society in 2012, but is it enough of a sequel to stand out of the shadow of its successful predecessor, Assassin’s Creed 2?

Dragon11Pro

It seems that these days we here at DigitalReviews tend to review a lot of upgrades and new models of software and gadgets. That's great because we can mainly highlight the differences in the new package and refer to the background material in the previous reviews. (See here, for instance).
Such is the case with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
We have done write-ups of DNS, more commonly known as Dragon, just about every year over the past four or five years and we have rated this speech recognition program very highly. I have always had a bit of a challenge with Dragon because of my somewhat Dutch accent and a just knew that a later version could make all the difference….
So how did we go this time around?

Adobe CS5 Master Collection

When we received our evaluation edition of Adobe CS5 we knew it could be a long time before we would be able to give our first impressions.  First up, the Master Collection is massive: some 15 (fifteen!) programs all tightly woven together.  Secondly, whilst familiar with Photoshop, most of the other programs we have not used before and some of them are best left to the professionals to evaluate.  These are the people that have need of these programs on a daily basis.
Our task here at DigitalReviews is simply to give an overview of the total package by way of introduction.  That sounds simple enough but for the sheer enormity of the package.

Our recent review of Adobe’s Lightroom 3 edition was a lot simpler to write as I use this very focussed application on a daily basis but how will we fare with what has always been seen as a disparate and diverse bunch of applications thrown together fairly randomly? Or is that no longer the case? Is this a pizza with The Works that just tastes delicious no matter how you slice it?
We’ll do the overview first to give you some flavour.

Then in Part II we’ll cover some highlights of the new Photoshop.
So let's have a quick look.

Starcraft 2 - Wings of Liberty

The biggest game to hit stores this summer is without a doubt Blizzard’s latest creation and sequel to the 1998 original hit, Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. I got a chance to play through each of the facets of this behemoth of a game and this is what I have to say about it.
