Review Ravensburger  / Enid Blyton: Famous 5 Treasure Isla RRP: £19.99
Price: £27.99

Review Enid Blyton: Famous 5 Treasure Isla / Ravensburger:

Treasure Island is an interactive adventure inspired by the ever-popular Famous Five Books, and will bring the classic tales to a whole new generation. Brothers Julian and Dick and their sister Ann are staying with their cousin George (Georgina really) and her faithful dog Timmy, and George's parents, Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny, at Kirrin Cottage. However, they are not alone: a mysterious, scheming professor has rented one of the rooms in the cottage. The children soon become suspicious of the professor, when they discover that he is interested in an old shipwreck which had sunk off Kirrin Island many years before. The scene is set, the story unfolds, then players must find the clues, disentangle the secrets, solve the puzzles and lead the Famous Five into a thrilling adventure involving caves, secret hiding places, rowing boats, castle ruins, dungeons and hidden treasure. The installation process is comparatively simple, and is adequately explained in the accompanying information booklet. In the main it is easily followed, and should be read before commencing the game. However, in the section "helpful hints for trickier puzzles" in which five difficult puzzles are written in secret code, it would have been more helpful if the words had been more thoroughly checked before publication as several mistakes are made. It would also have been advantageous if reference had been made somewhere in the pamphlet to the help available via the start menu: clicking on Start then Programs then Famous Five then Helpful Hints unlocks this section, where varying degrees of help are offered. The manufacturer's recommended age is 8-12-which seems accurate-but younger players may need assistance. [+]
Persistence is necessary, as the game is not easy, and it must be remembered that only the tip of the cursor is used, when combing things together or using things. All in all, the game is intelligent, interactive and challenging, with superb graphics. The game really brings the characters of the Famous Five to life. Also available: Silver Tower and Kidnapped. -Susan Naylor.

Review Ulead  / VideoStudio 7.0 RRP: £49.99
Price: £29.99

Review VideoStudio 7.0 / Ulead:

VideoStudio 7. 0 comprises two CDs; one for the program and its various ancillary tools, and the other containing sample media files and a tutorial. The tutorial, which is made up of several videos of the software in use, is particularly good covering all the different aspects of the program. The package also includes a real printed manual rather than the usual online documentation. VideoStudio 7 follows a seven-stage process starting with Capture then going through Edit, Effect, Overlay, Title, Audio and finally Share. The latter stage is confusingly named though as it actually covers all the output options including creating a DVD. VideoStudio 7. 0 has several strong points: while it includes the usual tricks such as filters to make the footage look like old cine films, as well as a wide range of transitions, what sets it apart is the flexibility it offers. Almost all aspects of its operation can be modified and tweaked to make it work the way you want. You can also preview transitions and effects without having to render first, although the quality is slightly degraded. [+]
One thing to watch out for though is the default behaviour of automatically adding random transitions between scenes. VideoStudio 7. 0 also supports Sony's new MicroMV format, which is unusual, as all DVD writers and can even generate suitable menus for your masterpieces. Another good feature is the wide range of formats it can work with-an amazing nine video formats, 25 image formats and 11 audio formats are covered. VideoStudio 7. 0 is a highly polished program that provides everything you need to capture, edit and output your home video projects. Ulead has squeezed a lot of functionality in to the package and the inclusion of their Cool 3D program as well as a CD full of useful media clips is a further plus point. -Iain Laskey.

Review Emission  / PC DJ Pro Edition RRP: £79.99
Price: £19.99

Review PC DJ Pro Edition / Emission:

Top London DJs are reputed to make many thousands of pounds a gig; one way to start the long journey to such lucrative superstardom might be to invest in PCDJ Pro Edition, a piece of polished and professional DJing sofware. The blurb claims it "enables you to mix, remix, and DJ music like never before". Setting aside the grammatical infelicities, and the understandable hype, that's a pretty fair and sensible claim. This CD ROM package has it all. From the automatic detection of beats-per-minute to the turntable brake for those somewhat-too-jiggy moments, from the pitch locking device (with bridging) to the synched-up "auto mix", the toolbag is commendably full. All you gotta do is move that mouse, and mix those trax. And when you're done with being cool, and you feel like reverting to your trainspotter roots, well then the software helps you to sort your trax by groove, song title, artist, star sign, you name it. You can even publish your own playlists, which the computer will follow when you want to nip down to the kitchen for a cheese-'n'-ham toastie. And that's about it. All else you need to know is summed up by megadeej DavidSloly: "PCDJ is a serious piece of kit". [+]
Quite. -Sean Thomas.
