There seem to be no shortage of Xbox 360 mods, yet since Microsoft’s console is enormous and requires ample cooling, it is hardly conducive to portability, and creations based on it tend to be unwieldy and impractical. Enter a transportable Nintendo GameCube. More »

I have always considered MSI to be the value conscious PC geek’s brand. None of the company’s designs is flashy, but reliability is usually solid, and so is price to performance. The GE600 is an $899.99 gaming laptop that has a 16″ LCD at 1366×768 pixels, which is actually a good resolution because it enables the middling Radeon Mobility 5730 to keep up nicely. More »

From Htcyou: Ever wished that your Motorola Droid/Milestone had a precise enough directional joypad and dedicated buttons for gaming? Well, Game Gripper is the peripheral that snaps right on top of the Droid’s keypad and enables users to play emulators and ROM games far more effectively. More »

Courtesy of a Japanese blog is this conceptual rendering of Nintendo’s 3DS, which is going to be unveiled at E3. Details about the DS replacement are sparse, but its main attraction is 3D without the glasses. More »

From Girlybubble: When it comes to options for decorating my new Nintendo DS Lite, my head spins. Literally. There’s the deco option — deco is the Japanese word for decorating things with a glue gun. There’s also stickers, skins, charms and you can even swap the original stylus for something that’s cuter. Currently, I’m considering the deco option but of course, that involves a glue gun: More »

From Wirebot:

As much as I think the iPad is a lackluster gaming platform, and as much as I think it is terribly overpriced (what Apple product isn’t?), there is no denying the fact that if someone came up to me and said “Here, have an iPad” I would take it. Of course I want an iPad! Does that mean I think it is worth paying for? Absolutely not, but sometimes the hype just crawls inside you and eats away at your soul. More »

Nintendo will be replacing the amazingly popular DS with a new system temporarily called the 3DS, which will allow gamers to enjoy “3D effects without the need for any special glasses.” The 3DS is scheduled for release on or before March 2011 and will be demoed at E3 in June. More »

In 2009, overall video game sales revenues declined from by $1.1 billion down to $9.9 billion total, but Apple’s share quintupled from 1% to 5%. In the portable gaming breakdown (where it really matters to Apple), Apple’s surge is even more dramatic: from 5% in 2008 to 19% last year. More »

Legendary Shigeru Miyamoto says that he is devoting lots of energy into educational efforts for the Nintendo DS. Some Japanese students already use the handheld gaming system for learning (pictured above) in the classroom. When the new school year begins, Nintendo will introduce elementary and junior high schools to the DS as an educational tool, although exactly how this process will be implemented has not been documented to the public.

From Ningin: For most of us here, this week has been epic for the release of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy XIII. I’m not even much of a gamer and I know this much. I also know that despite the title, FF XIII is more fantasy than it is final. This week we’d like to make your fantasy come true by giving away a copy of Final Fantasy XIII. More »

Eurocom specializes in high performance (and hideous) desktop replacement laptops. The D900F Panther is an absolute titan, boasting a desktop Intel i7-980x (3.33GHz) 6-core CPU, 1GB GDDR3 GTX 280M gaming card, 12 gigs of RAM, and dual 512Gb Sold-State hard drives. My configuration is one of the most expensive that Eurocom sells. More »
