Sony have certainly made a giant leap forward in handheld gaming and I'm sure Nintendo are keeping a close eye on them, but while the games are top notch, the multimedia components could have been better and far more flexible. Still, she's a sexy beast of a machine that's earned the lust of gamers everywhere and justifiably so.

A brilliant, innovative device that has the full support of the Nintendo games machine behind it. If they manage more games like Mario Kart DS, they'll have a winner on their hands.

While far from revolutionary, the Slim and Light does add some minor improvements to an already impressive machine. Shame about the pre-existing faults, though.
