Top-rated reviews of the week (pictures)

Reviewing tech products isn't always rainbows and unicorns for CNET's adventurous editors, but this week they found Samsung's best-performing TV ever, the best app for conducting searches on Android devices, and the best AT&T phablet available now. Oh, and a fun, free game that features...rainbows and unicorns.
