Microsoft Office 2010 Review

Microsoft Office 2010 Review

We have already seen Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview tested back in July 2009 and almost a year later we are able to see the final release. Andy Vandervell at TrustedReviews posted both full review and top 15 new features of the Microsoft Office 2010 and came to a conclusion that Office 2010 is worth to upgrade as it brings loads of new features that make it by far the most easy and useful office suite to use. But if you are not willing to pay for your office suite there always are free alternatives such as OpenOffice.

Mozilla is trying to catch-up with Google that recently released Chrome 5 Beta and by the looks of it did borrow some ideas but added its own twist on the user interface. Will Mozilla will be able to get back some of the users (including the HandsOnReviews Team) to switch back to Firefox from Google Chrome? We’ll be able to find out soon enough. Until then hit the link to view the Firefox 4 slideshow.

It’s been a while since Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview and Screenshots popped up and now it’s the Microsoft Office 2010 Starter Edition’s turn. Jay Garmon at NotebookReview got it covered and concluded that Microsoft Office Starter 2010 will be fine for you if you’ve never used the full paid-for Microsoft Office and have no need to create a PowerPoint otherwise you will just feel to limited.

Mass Effect 2 Review

Mass Effect 2 Review

We absolutely loved the first Mass Effect. It kept us awake during nights with its deep story and great visuals. So we were very excited when we received our Mass Effect 2 copy in the post one day before the official release in retail stores (gotta love the pre-orders at Game UK). We opted for the Collector’s Edition that brings extra content and body armor and we have to say it was worth extra £10. We didn’t have time to complete the game yet as (un)fortunately we have real jobs and girlfriends that require a lion’s share of our daily activities so we can’t give you the complete picture of the game but luckily our friends at TrustedReviews got us covered.
