Review by Katie Smith aged 11

I am a huge fan of the Disney Channel and this is my favourite TV show so I was really pleased to have a look at the game for the DS.

You control the three main characters in the show Alex, Justin or Max and the action takes place in the mortal world and the wizarding world.

CIVILIZATION has arrived on the iPhone - and it's as good as any rabid fan of the strategy classic could hope for.

Closely resembling the DS version of the legendary series, Civilization Revolution is as addictive as ever.

Real thought has been put into how you control your kingdom with such a small screen.

You'll find that minutes turn into hours very easily!

Not convinced? Give the free version a try and see what all the fuss is about.

The popularity of gaming on the iPhone is on the increase, developers like EA and Konami are targeting gamers with some very solids versions of their games purely for phone.

To capitalise on the increase in mobile gaming Exspect have released the Gaming Grip - a high-grade silicone cover for your iPhone.

Why? Well - it is contoured especially to help even the sweatiest palms to enjoy some comfortable 'on the train' gaming.

Gaming on the iPhone is potentially great - the standards of the games are getting better but it has to be said that it is tricky to play them.

This new little cover eradicates that awkwardness and I was very very impressed with the one that was sent to me.

It fits around your phone but has cut-outs for the screen and main iPhone buttons, it basically transforms your phone to make it feel like a handheld-console.

It is also great protection for your phone should you drop it! I loved the design and I think despite its very chunky persona it looks really sophisticated.

A huge help with gaming whether you are playing landscape or upright, I honestly don't see me removing my case anytime soon.

The Gaming Grip from Exspect will be available via Amazon costing £14.99.

Here at Power Up we have friends in high places - and in Los Angeles our very own insider LA Dolly is at E3 to give us the lowdown.

Here's what she had to say;

"Hi Power Uppers - Microsoft wheeled Sir Paul, Ringo and Yoko, Spielberg and Hideo Kojima (Oh yes Metal Gear on 360 at last) out onto stage for their press conference.

Also the new thing called NATAL - you will have heard a lot about this already - I know Mr Wollaston has just blogged about it!

Pele and James Cameron were at the Ubisoft press conference, with James Cameron talking rather in depth about Avatar.

There is a new camera peripheral for the Wii. Jay Z and Eminem played at Activisions DJ hero party. Notable spots include Kelly Osbourne, one of the Olsen twins plus some of the cast from Mad Men, Leo DiCaprio and Matthew McConnaghey.

Sony and Nintendo press conference today. Rumour has it that not only will Rogue Warrior Dick Marcinko be at the first day of the show but he might have a "friend" in tow... Over and out - LA dolly

One word - genius.

This fantastic little gadget for less that thirty of the Queen's pounds is just fantastic.

Jog gives you the impetus to get active again on the Wii, aside from the Wii Fit there has been very little recently to get gamers back on there feet and active whilst playing.

Whilst the Xbox 360 has the potential to turn the laziest of gamers into a state of vegetation the Wii was designed to combat that and thankfully this excellent little gizmo reinforces that once again.

My New Year's Resolution was to get a Porsche 911 this year. We are still in January but I have managed it!

It looks beautiful, the paintwork shimmers, the body is sleek and sexy - the car of my dreams.

One slight problem, it's only the size of a cigarette box!

I have been road-testing the latest boy's toy this week in the form of a superb wireless Porsche 911 complete with flashing headlights and a boot that opens up to put the batteries in!

Ok it isn't the real thing but it is very snazzy indeed the Motormouse is the latest executive gadget to hit the market, and is a must-have for any car enthusiast.

Motormouse is a classic sports car wireless mouse with exquisite detail including the smallest 2.4G wireless receiver in the world and three different sensitivity settings.

With a high quality paint finish chrome alloy wheels and real rubber tyres, Motormouse offers a smooth ride and even comes with its own super-glide mouse mat and soft carrying pouch.

I am having to hide this from my colleagues at the moment!

WHO doesn't want their own cashpoint in their house?

The funky Science Museum ATM Savings Bank gives you just that, and with a card, pin number and even cashpoint sound effects it's a great way to save money and show off at the same time.

The light-up display lets you check your balance at any time and accepts notes and coins, keeping track of your deposits and withdrawals; it will even set you a savings target and play you a tune on your birthday.

Great fun and could be a useful stocking filler. Designed for ages five upwards, it costs £24.99.

Even though I review gadgets, games and work as a website editor I still consider myself a bit of a technophobe in some areas - ipods and docking stations, DAB etc, it's all a bit alien to me, so trying this was a very good idea to get me up to speed.

Now basically what we have here is a very sleek black box of wonder that is an all-singing and all-dancing piece of technical magnificence.

This is a DAB digital/FM radio, cd/mp3 player, ipod docking station and even an alarm clock.

The Sound 43 also charges your ipod whilst it docks and allows you to play tunes from it across the speakers.

To put it in to simple english this is just uber-cool, it not only looks the part it really is just an excellent piece of kit that is a hub of entertainment at your remote control fingertips.

This transformed my living room and sat looking very trendy and very useful in the corner, I love being able to just play whatever I want from my ipod on the main sound system in the room.

The speakers are very powerful with a nice deep rich sound handling my Guns and Roses tracks with finesse and treating Moby with equal quality.

The system has a very nice touch screen interface and on the whole this really is a very sophisticated and sharp bit of kit.
