Poll: Help Shape the Future of Portagame 1: What format should we be?
Dear Current and Past Portagame Readers,
As we mentioned before, Portagame is in a flux of change at the moment. We have a single goal: to provide a site for handheld gaming news. We were off to a strong start, but with a series of life changes, the site came to a grinding halt. I’m in [...]
U.K. Portagamers: Free Game System with Your Cellie
Hey Portagame pondskippers! Now’s your chance to get in on a little bit of free action. Cell phones are a (evil?) necessity in today’s world, so why not buy in on a little fun while you are at it? The biggest online mobile phone shop in the U.K. is offering free game consoles and gadgets [...]
Everyone Wants Their Hands on Your PSP
WOW!
That’s pretty much all I have to say about this ad for the PSP. I work full time in the advertising industry and I’m still debating if this ad is 100% diabolical genius (look at the buzz it is getting) or if it is just plain tacky and distasteful.
Did it work? Well that depends on [...]
LOST and 24 on Your PSP?
It’s news about media convergence like this that I LOVE to hear:
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is in talks with Sky to allow PSP owners to download Sky content such as Lost and 24 onto their handheld devices.
See, who says that Sony hates the European market? If this service takes off, it could do Sony [...]
Portagame: Becoming Relevant Again
Portagame.com has always had a soft spot in my heart. In the early days, I poured my heart and soul into this site and built it up to be a fairly successful portal for the portable gaming world. I loved to blog about new hardware, and loved to search for news related to my favorite [...]
Free Wii! (21 Days Remaining)
I was looking around teh good ol’ trusty internets to see about breathing some life into Portagame. I really don’t have the bandwidth (meaning personal time–I have a job to keep and a family to feed, and a wife who yells at me for being on the computer too much. sob.) to do game reviews. [...]
Behold: The Xbox360 Laptop!
We here at Portagame are long time fans of Ben Heckendorn and his awe-inspiring mods. His latest work is by far his most brilliant creation to date (although he may argue with us on that, since he makes it all seem like a piece of cake). He tore down a Xbox 360, added a 17″ [...]
Cute Little DS Game Pouch Featuring Mario
Not to be found in stores, this homebrew is of a different batch. A cloth pouch to protect one your smallest, but most priceless, assets. No, I’m not talking about what’s in your pants. I’m talking about your NSMB DS game. This micro messanger-bag is crafted up by the wife of the year 20XX, a [...]
The DS Condom
We’ve heard all the diseased DS rumors: Dead Pixels, cracked casings, sticky buttons, small stylus, etc. There are millions of Nintendo DS Systems in the public having unprotected networking, so its a good idea to put a silicon condom over your DS while multiplayer gaming in case of any outbreaks.

Trig Wars for PSP (Geometry Wars Clone). Lumines Live!
God Save The Queen! But homebrew’ll save the PSP. There is nice Geometry Wars clone (sans Evolution) out there called, ready, get this: Trigonometry Wars. Ok, ok, we know the name lacked creativity but give the developer some major credit for figuring out a control scheme without dual-analog control sticks. If you are a Sony [...]
