GameCube Controller Black

from: Nintendo

May 03, 2002
im always careful when buying unofficial controllers, as they never have the same build quality as the official ones. i used to have a white gameware gamecube controller (from GAME) which the sticks just stopped working on after a year (with very little use). so i ordered this controller as a cheap replacement.

i must say that when it arrived the build quality was much better than i had expected. it is a really great shape and fits in to your hand better than anyother gamecube controller ive tried in the past and it has rubber grips on the hand grips and the control sticks (i always found that the C-Stick always seemed to slip under your finger, but non with this one).

if you dont want to shell out for an official controller ... Read More:

Picross (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

May 11, 2007
This game has been compared with Soduko, in that it is simple to get into, and then hard to put down.
However, I find it so much better, since it avoids the obsessive counting, and even provides a result at the end. (Some of the daily challenges do not end up with a picture, which makes the exercise mildly futile; it's never going to be a source of great art, but is nominally intended to create some form of picture! ;)
Get into using the D-pad at the start; you will find it better later on, and avoids the need to get the pen to a point that you can see, even when being joggled on the commute. It's also useful to be able to select a FILL or BLANK just by using a different button (one press) rather than "losing your place" when you "look away" with ... Read More:

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice For All (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

March 16, 2007
This has been the first Phoenix Wright game I played, but I can guarantee it won't be the last. Even though 'Justice For All' is technically a sequel to the first Ace Attorney game, it still stands it's ground perfectly by itself.

The basic essence of this game is that is more of a "visual novel" than your typical gameboy title. As with all Phoenix Wright games, 'Justice for All' is no exception when it comes to being founded on a lot of text. However, dull as that may sound, the scripting is ingeniously done and woven in to often wacky, deep characters (something which has always been a rarity with games) and twisting, engrossing storylines.

In 'Justice For All', you'll play as Phoenix Wright, a defence lawyer who has a knack of bumping into ... Read More:

Mario Slam Basketball (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

February 16, 2007


This is a good basketball game, fun to play and very easy to get to grips with. The basic basketball skills can be mastered very quickly however the more complex moves take a little more practice but are satisfying when you get them right.

There are lots of differnt 'courts' available to play on, each with their own little characteristics and of course all the famous Mario characters are availble to play with (Such as Mario, Bowser, Luigi etc) as well as a few from the Final Fantasy universe.

My only critisim of the game is that it is very very easy to learn, i've only had the game a few hours and already I can beat the more advanced teams so it has the potential to get boring a little quickly. Also you can't actually play basketball games with ... Read More:

Super Mario Advance (GBA)

from: Nintendo

June 22, 2001
This game is not very fun. The levels are difficult and the character slips around a lot. I like to play against the bosses.
There is also the classic Mario game, which will trigger tears of nostalgia for 20-somethings, but is boring for me! Basically, the gameplay is this:
Go to level one. Play a boss. Go to level two. Play a boss.
And then this:
Whack the characters. Play again.
Wouldn't recommend.

Game Boy Advance SP: Silver

from: Nintendo

September 24, 2004
I sold my GBA SP Classic NES edition to help pay for my Nintendo DS. I really like the DS but oh boy do I miss this beauty of a machine.

Let's get the moans out of the way, yes the GBA SP only had a front light and not a proper back light so the screen isn't as colourful as the DS. And yes, you had to pay extra for an adapter if you wanted to use headphones. But stuff that, this thing is amazing and I miss my old one!

So why was it so good? Well the design was spot one. I get finger burn and cramps from my DS light and my PSP when I try to play racing games, never got any pain from the GBA SP. Also this was the last portabl console to have the traditional Gameboy style layout of control buttons under the screen (instead of either side like the Lynx, GG, GBA, Neo ... Read More:

Nintendo DS Browser (Nintendo DS)

from: Nintendo

October 05, 2006
I bought this on a whim as well. But I cannot agree it is slow. I found it very easy to connect to my wireless network. I only have a 1mb Tiscali Broadband connection as we live outside London. If you try to view the BBC website for instance then yes it takes a few seconds. But why do that? There are plenty of Mobile or PDA versions of popular websites, including a very good BBC version and also Ebay, and these are very quick. I find this browser a lot of fun and I use it all the time. A brilliant little device. Try it.
