It doesn’t take long does it? One moment Bond is wielding some achingly cool gadget and before you know it it’s on the IWOOT website. Q’s furious of course. The Spy Video Watch is literally indistinguishable from a normal (and actually quite swanky) watch but the crucial difference is that you can craftily record video and take photos thanks to the almost-invisible camera hidden in the number ‘2’ of the watch face. In fact all the features on this genius little watch are extremely well-hidden. There’s a microphone and an LED indicator on there somewhere too but they’re sufficiently unnoticeable for you to get on with the very important business of mucking about. The video quality is pretty amazing for such a tiny camera and you’ll have no-end of fun trying to catch people up to no good (if that’s what you like doing). The stills are excellent too so any Top Secret documents you might happen upon won’t go un-snapped (though it’s just as handy if you see Neville from accounts picking his nose and need some blackmail material… the choice is yours). The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is good for about 2 hours continuous sleuthing (with a full charge of 2-3 hours). It’s got a whopping 2GB capacity as well so you don’t have to worry about clogging it up with pictures of your upside-down face and getting your vids and pics off the watch and onto your computer is easy. Just plug the included USB cable into a port and treat it in the same way you would any other digital camera – your recordings will then be ready to upload to YouTube or send to whichever client you’re doing some private work for. Because it’s such a convincing watch as well (it tells the time and everything!) you’ll be able to snap and film all you like – and not a soul will know you’re doing it.

Noir
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld is, perhaps unsurprisingly given the game’s title, the setting for this point-and-click romp which combines the best elements of Bogart-esque private eye movies with the best-known fantasy environment in the world.
The game follows the trials and tribulations of the Discworld’s first PI as he takes on his first case–a missing persons job on behalf of a darkly mysterious female client who’s husband has gone walkies.
It’s pretty standard adventure fare with pointing and clicking aplenty as the case unravels, villains are revealed and outrageously long FMV sequences disturb the flow of the plot.
OK, so far it doesn’t sound that good, right? But perseverance is the name of the game and you won’t be able to help getting drawn further into the plot to the point where it is impossible to leave it alone. The major draw in this title is the obvious input from Pratchett himself. The characters really bring this game to life, mixing the new, such as Lewton the private eye and main character, with the old, Nobby Nobbs of the City Guard, Death and the Grim Squeaker–a hilarious character who is actually the Death of Rats.
Comedy abounds here, from the obvious to the incredibly subtle, and there is plenty going on to keep you playing for quite a while.
At the end of the day, this is more suited to the Discworld fan then to someone looking idly around for an adventure game to fill in a couple of hours, but with its budget price thanks to an Infogrames re-release, Discworld Noir is a good purchase. –James Gordon
