Poll: Pick The New Portagame Mascot

Time to voice up Portagamers…
You’ve probably seen the SLOOOOOOW transition we are making to a new site. We still have a new template underway, but we are running fine and dandy on this new WordPress install. (WordPress is so hawt!) Now we need to start considering a mascot. A brand. Someone or something that our [...]


Stealth Portagame.com upgrade…

Friday we had the iPhone, tomorrow we have E3, so it seemed sense to launch a new and improved Portagame.com this weekend. Well, it’s new as in we use Wordpress now. There’s still a lot of things I want to do to the site, and a custom design was in the works at one point. [...]


Construction Zone: Hard Hats Required.

Hey everyone,
I’m finally migrating away from b2evolution and onto wordpress. In the process I have to kill the template (temporarily) and also disable comments (more permanent, at least until wordpress is up and running). Migrations are never easy, so wish me luck!


Poll: Help Shape the Future of Portagame 1: What format should we be?

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 [...]

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″ [...]

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 [...]
