Ranger GPS allows your kids to navigate from the backseat with their NDS Lite – $59
Billed as the first high-precision positioning system for the Nintendo DS the Ranger GPS is now available from our overseas friends at DealExtreme. The maps are downloaded from Google Maps though it’s unclear from the site whether you’ll need to learn Mandarin or Cantonese if you want to receive optional voice prompts. Just think of [...]
OK, Apple, But How Many *GOOD* Games Do You Have?!?
After all of the dust settled from the Apple Event the other day, there was one segment that left me with a particularly bad taste in my mouth – the part where Phil Schiller put down the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP and supported his claims of gaming greatness with the slide above. That segment [...]
Review: Black Sigil: Blade of the Exile for Nintendo DS
There is a fine line somewhere between homage and outright copying, and also a line between recreating the best elements of a classic in a modern setting and bringing something that was shackled by its’ time into the future warts and all. Black Sigil is a game that captures much of the magic from the [...]
Nintendo Introduces DSi – Facebook Integration Tonight
Back in June at the E3 gaming convention, Nintendo indicated that they would be adding the ability for users to integrate their DSi handhelds with Facebook. They indicated that this would include and pretty much be limited to uploading pictures from the dual cameras on the device. Since then there was no firm date given [...]
An iPhone developer who survived Nintendo and Apple taking him down
Geek.com has just published a very interesting interview with Aaron Ardiri, the founder of Mobile 1 Up. Back in April Mobile 1 Up was ordered by Nintendo to remove its Game and Watch style games from the iTunes App Store.

Sony sees huge loss, Nintendo profits fall, Apple noted as competition
Hearing about corporate losses is nothing new these days, so it is sometimes what ELSE is contained in those announcements that is of interest. In this generation of consoles, Nintendo has led the way with their always-profitable Wii and DS systems, while Microsoft and especially Sony have struggled to cut costs and boost sales to [...]
GearGames Review: Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Director’s Cut (DS)
My wife thinks I am insane when I buy something more than once – she considers it extraneous. Generally she is right, and I seldom do it – but there are also times I go overboard. For example, there are several games I own for both Mac & PC so I can play whatever platform [...]
The Dark Side of Video Game Console Fanboy-ism

Review: DreamGear Rumble Blaster
One of the best technology purchases I made was the Nintendo Wii, which was a family present two Chanukahs ago. It is a fantastic gaming platform, especially for younger children, and the motion sensitive controls are nothing short of amazing. The only problem I found, though, was that the Wii remote can get in the [...]
Review: Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS
I remember reading a New York Times article that was calling the recently released entry in the Grand Theft Auto franchise of video games ‘one of the most important’ video games released in recent years. The article talks about how by bringing a fully fleshed out entry of the M-rated series to a platform generally [...]
Release Your Inner Gamer With Retro Duo NES / SNES Player
If you were part of the ‘Nintendo Revolution’ that followed the great video game crash of the early 1980′s, you likely have very fond memories of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Super NES.

Motion Plus…….Wii!
Ok, so I finally convinced my wife into buying a Wii, and being the loving woman she is it was my Christmas gift. Since then on any given day you can drive past our house and see two grown adults swinging their arms around like Orangutans in a zoo…..hehe and if I am quick enough [...]
