*New* Nintendo 3DS Review – pre-release!
I love being a Nintendo Ambassador – we’re genuinely huge fans, and love the handheld consoles and the wii. But I do hit a slight issue when I’m reviewing. Because *whispers* I have never actually played on a 3DS. Or a DSi, or DS, or GBA either. So telling you how fabulous the latest incarnation is frequently baffles me.

Razer introduces the Naga Epic Chroma Mouse for wireless MMO gaming – Christmas Gift Guide
I know – it took me a while to get it too. Just as a keyboard for me is for tapping to make letters appear in your screen, a mouse is for swooshing around the desk to get to where you want to go.

Honestly – the way their...
Have you got an old-fashioned Cassette player for your child? Pre-Christmas Shopping

I have a couple of precious tapes of my sister and I singing as she practiced her guitar, and the mix tapes… Oh, the memories that are spooled onto those mix tapes! But...
The ASUS T100 Review – You might want to add one to your Christmas list.
*The ASUS T100 Review has been provided by the resident Teen Geek; this then is what your average knows-more-than-you 16yr old thinks of the ASUS T100.

Can’t get Fitter than a Fitbit Fitter!
The FitBit Flex is a slim, stylish device that is with you all the time. During the day, it tracks steps, distance, and calories burned. At night it tracks your sleep quality and wakes you silently in the morning. Overall a very clever piece of kit. The Flex consists of two separate parts – the sensor and the strap. It doesn’t include an LED display like its predecessor the FitBit “One” but that does allow it to be smaller, sleeker...
