We all dream of owning a huge television, but is a 52 inch high-def giant like Sony's KDL-52W4000 Bravia all it's cracked up to be?

 LCD's don't use that much power, unlike PLASMA's. I've got the 46inch XBR Bravia Series and it doesn't give me a huge power bill. Incredible picture quality though, which is easily worth any slight increase in your power bill.

Far Cry 2 the review - unflinchingly brutal

Average User Rating 3

Far Cry 2 is an ugly game, simply because it all too accurately portrays a modern world conflict in a war-torn African nation.
