Review by Nick H. There are too many controllers out there these days, but most of them are of the budget variety. These controllers are usually well-made, and might even do one or two things better than the typical system ones that Sony or Microsoft ship with their units, but…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Portable systems offer a great deal of flexibility for gamers on the go, but they tend to introduce some unique challenges as well, ranging from how to protect them to keeping them charged to the best way to transport them. The 3DS was handy because its…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The 2DS is a strange beast for Nintendo handhelds as it forgoes the clamshell folding design that had worked so well with previous DS units. That design means that it needs a robust carry case to protect those previous screens from damage while out and about.…
