When the Game Boy Advance came out, I was there. Day one. New console, imported from Japan. MINE. Gamecube? Queued up at silly-o’clock in the morning outside Game. GBA SP? Day one. DS? Imported from Japan. DS Lite? Day one pre-order. Wii? Freezing December queue. I’ve never bothered with any other consoles on release – only Nintendo ones since 2000. So why not the same with the 3DS? Here’s 5 reasons why: 5. £££ £229 is a lot of money. …
Or not. Spot the deliberate mistake? I even rang Misco, the purveyors of said incorrectly priced item, to order it. Sadly, they told me it should be seven hundred and something pounds instead. Rubbish.
LOOK AT THE CARDS THAT COME WITH IT JUST LOOK AT THEM! LOOK! AT! THEM! LOOK!!
No time to write anything, but look at the GLORY that is the Collector’s Edition!
A couple of weeks ago, we took receipt of a shiny new iPad at work. And I’ve been testing it. And it is very shiny. Did I mention it was shiny? Because it is. Very. The haters are quick to point out that it’s just a big iPod Touch. Which it is, only that’s missing the point. Other haters (or the same ones) say it’s very expensive. Which (again) it is, and (again), that’s missing the point too. Others too …
I was sent a Wii SD Card this week (actually, three), and last night got to try one out. So, here is a review. Yes, a review of a piece of plastic and silicon the size of a postage stamp! Amazing. The first thing you’ll notice is that, unlike most SD cards, the SanDisk for Wii card is white. Like the Wii. Little known fact: the Wii itself, its power supply, the SD card shaped. Check yours – I’m right! …
Just look at this! It’s AMAZING! You know the OneStation handheld Famiclone? What do you mean “no”? I wrote about it right here! This, the “Digital Dragon System”, is actually just another OneStation. It even says “OneStation” on it. But it’s a different shape! And! It has 999 games built in! And! The cartridges are a different shape! Gasp!! Other than that, it’s the same thing. A poor quality handheld Famiclone with fewer than advertised games (they’re almost all duplicates) …
Yesterday, Apple announced the iPad. Not that anyone was really surprised, as all bar the nitty gritty specifics had been leaked already over the last few weeks. And, although I was looking forward to the reveal, I didn’t think I was going to be especially interested in the product. After all, I’ve had tablet PCs and PDAs and an iPhone and laptops and netbooks and stuff in the past. So it wasn’t going to be anything new. I was wrong. …
After scraping together all my Club Nintendo stars loyalty points at the end of last year (some were due to expire on the 31st of December), I had a look through the Club Nintendo Stars Catalogue for things to spend them all on. Of course, it had to be this: It’s three old Game & Watch games – Oil Panic, Donkey Kong, and Green House – all for the DS. Which is oooh shiny enough in itself, but becomes even …
I teased it a bit yesterday, but here’s some more information on the best games console since the original Game King – the itek! I paid a STAGGERING ¬¨¬£19.99 for this from local supermarket “Roys”. The price says ¬¨¬£39.99 – but that was how much it cost last year when they started stocking it. I knew if I waited long enough they’d drop it a bit, and I was right! Worth the wait? Of course! Unboxening It’s the law of …
After trying lots of apps, these are those I’ve settled with – for now, at least. What does your iPhone look like? What apps do you recommend?
The answer, of course, is “very lovely indeed”. My previous phone was a T-Mobile Vario III, a replacement a year ago for my Vario II. To be honest, I’ve never really had a problem with it. Ok, so it didn’t really work well with my Mac (until I bought SyncMate, anyway), and sometimes it forgot to type double letters, but it was great for everything I wanted to use it for. Or so I thought. After using an iPhone for …
I do. And it’s great. I only got it a couple of days ago, but already I can’t imagine how I managed without one. Here’s the very first photo I took with it. It isn’t very exciting though. Some more gushing praise for my iPhone will be posted soon!
