I recently started a new job which pays weekly. I received my first paycheque 2wks ago. Did I save it? No. Did I invest it? No way! What did I do? I just had to run out straight away and buy a Gameboy Advance with two games from "Toys R Us" didn't I? It seemed the only sane thing to do when you receive a wad of cash for ...  Read the complete review

A good console which is more comfortable to hold than its predecessors (Classic, Pocket, Color). With a bigger, brighter screen and added L/R buttons, this is a great console, but perhaps lack some of the 'retro' look and feel that the others had, though that's hardly cause for complaint. The L/R buttons are a nice addition ...  Read the complete review

I brought one of these as soon as it came out, it was the best handheld of its time, large screen, good graphics, as well as supporting gmaeboy advance games, it supports the gamboy colour and original games. One particular set of games helped sell millions more of these, The pokemon games. The only downsides to this console is the ...  Read the complete review

I knew my wife had been after a Nintendo Gameboy Advance for quite a while so I got her one as an anniversary present - and guess what? I can't stop playing the damn thing now… It's not the newest handheld games machine on the market by any means, but even today it's not too shabby. I'm not going to bore you with technical details ...  Read the complete review

Secondly we wanted something that she would find easy to play and as there are few buttons ...  Read the complete review

As my four children wrote their letters to Santa (well three really, the eldest just told us what he wanted), top of their lists were Gameboy Advance (GBA) SPs. Which is strange really, as they already possessed ordinary GBAs, which were working perfectly well, but as with their Mum, they absolutely needed the newest version of their favourite ...  Read the complete review

The Gameboy Advance was awful. The original Gameboy and the multiple versions that followed were simple and effective systems. True you had to look at third parties for worm lights (to play the games in the dark), battery packs and cases (to avoid nasty scratches on the screen), but it was still a nice looking and playing piece of kit. For the new ...  Read the complete review

I have had numerous computers and consoles since I was a wee lad (I'm now 32!) from the ZX Spectrum and C64 through to my XBox, PS2 & Gamecube (which I recently sold). While I really enjoy some of the games I have on the modern consoles, newer games are much more complex and generally time consuming that they ever used to be, with the ...  Read the complete review

Nintendo's latest member of the gameboy family (barring the GBA XP) is of course the Gameboy Advance. I started my journey along the gameboy family, starting with the Gameboy Pocket (still the smallest of the lot). It was a nice upgrade on the original, being far more compact and having a much clearer and more defined screen display. ...  Read the complete review

I was 17 in March, and I'm indesicive to say the least, so I always get completely random birthday presents to save the hassle of actually asking me! From my parents I got lots of lovely clothes and jewelery, driving lessons, quality digital camera and money. Friends got me an assortment of smellies and other girly stuff. My brother got me a ...  Read the complete review

Handheld games don't need to be 60 hour epics. I'm not looking for a branching storyline, stunning cut-scenes and all that jazz associated with boring consoles. I want something that will kill a few minutes before the bus comes on my journey to school, a quick blast. That's why games like Tetris are so popular - you can dive straight ...  Read the complete review

I am so upset with Nintendo. I have always been a huge fan of Nintendo for there attention to details and he sheer quality of their own brand stuff. The Gameboy Advance has really knocked this confidence for me however. I got myself a GBA fairly soon after they came out (if you`ve read my other opinions you`ll problem be thinking to ...  Read the complete review

The gameboy advance is the first real relevation in the Hand held world. The game boy provided VERY simple and low content black and white games. The gameboy colour was essentially the same thing, but with a few colours dotted around, but the colour usuage and graphics improvement was so little is didnt make much of a difference. Now comes the ...  Read the complete review

Normally, hand held games aren’t my thing, as I find that games simply don’t translate well to a small screen. However, I can honestly say that the Nintendo (and it’s no secret that I am not too crazy about this company), has really outdone themselves with the Game Boy Advance creating yet another machine that not only works ...  Read the complete review
