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 [...]

Konductra Developer Interviewed
Sliced Gaming was able to get ahold of Ian Dunlop, the indie developer from oeFun to talk in-depth about the addicting time-killer Konductra. Many are comparing the game to a color version of Polarium, but it is much more unique than that. You are pieces that are only two tiles big and you can place [...]
Browse The DS Browser. Live Opera Coverage.
Josh Zimmerman is giving the world an excellent hands on review of Opera for the DS.
Its looking pretty good, but as with the PSP browser, we’re hoping this is just a start and not a final offering. (I’m pretty sure the Opera team will continue developing and supporting further versions.)

Dear GameCrazy, Please Stop Abusing Non-Gamer Customers
Dear GameCrazy,
I am a gamer. I’ve been a gamer for a few decades now. I’ve also been a regular customer to your two stores in the South Las Vegas valley ever since I moved here. Your staff has always treated me with the utmost respect as they realize I know a thing or two about [...]
Considering a DS Lite?
Check out our buddies at Gadget Madness where they list 13 noticable differences between the DS Phat and the DS Lite.
Looks like he got most everything. Well, he could have compared it to a ham sandwich and then told us what tastes better with mustard, but this isn’t a perfect world.
E3: N-Gage Then and Now
When I think “N-Gage”, I think “Nice concept, poor execution”. Nokia showed signs of their strengths (a good thing) last year and this year is starting to capitalize on them.
