Sony PlayStation Vita review

The powerful PlayStation Vita offers dual-analogue controls and a big, bright screen but it's bulky, battery life's so-so and it's pricey. Read more

Nintendo 3DS XL review

Nintendo wants to give its 3DS handheld a shot in the arm with this super-sized XL version but it's no great leap forward. Read more

Nintendo DSi XL review

The DSi XL is a super-sized version of the DSi, with significantly larger screens. It's a shame that the two cameras haven't received a resolution boost and that the internal storage hasn't been increased, but the big screens do come in handy and the device's battery life is outstanding Read more

Nintendo DSi review

The DSi offers bigger screens and better audio quality than its predecessor, the DS Lite, as well an improved menu system, twin cameras and audio-playback capability. Battery life has fallen and more could have been made of some of its features, but the DSi is a great games console for those who don't already own a Lite Read more

Sony PSP 3000 review

If you're looking for a sturdy portable device that offers great graphics, solid multimedia performance and more sophisticated games than the Nintendo DS Lite -- and a deeper game library than the Apple iPhone or iPod touch -- the PSP is a worthwhile choice Read more

Nintendo DS Lite review

The DS Lite makes the same fashion statement for videogame systems that the iPod did for MP3 players -- slimmed down and brightened up, it's a beauty. It may not have the multimedia capabilities of the Sony PSP, but it can play games online and the games themselves are colourful, innovative and lots of fun -- and the DS Lite is much cheaper Read more

Nintendo 3DS review

The Nintendo 3DS' 3D capability is its headline feature, but really it's just the icing on the cake. This feature-packed little console offers tonnes of fun, even if its battery life is slightly pants. Read more

Sony PSP review

PSP stands for PlayStation Portable, but it might as well stand for 'Nintendo, you have a problem'. One of the most highly anticipated tech products to hit stores in recent memory, the Sony PSP largely delivers on its remarkable promises Read more

GamePark Holdings GP2X review

If the Nintendo DS and Sony PSP are the cool kids of the portable gaming world, the GP2X is the geeky lad with NHS specs and corduroy trousers. It uses Linux, so you can make your own applications for it, and it runs emulators, so there's loads of old-school games out there. It's not accessible, but it rewards dedication Read more

Nintendo Game Boy Micro review

It's been 16 years since Nintendo invented handheld gaming with the Game Boy, but the Micro is more of a repackaging than a revolution. The third iteration of the hugely successful Game Boy Advance format, it offers a tiny form factor and a brighter screen -- but it doesn't cost much less than the more advanced DS Read more
