New Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL | CeX review
Moving your head (or the system) to get comfortable no longer results in an eye-f*cking double image and, whereas I never used to use the 3D on my old 3DS, I’m yet to turn it off on the new one.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy | CeX review

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire | CeX review
Much of the games’ second half involves surfing around an enormous, wide-open stretch of ocean… It’s not the dealbreaker it used to be, but do be prepared to have stress dreams about Tentacool and the colour blue if you play too close to bedtime.
