Portable Console | featured news

Nintendo has done its best to launch a new era in video games with the launch of its 3DS portable gaming system, which goes on sale for $249 on Sunday. The appeal of this device, which can display games in stereoscopic 3D without glasses, is growing on me. But I’m not sure it’s the greatest thing since the iPhone.

After months of intense speculation, Sony has finally revealed the successor to the PSP and PSPgo game devices it currently offers. It's code named NGP or Next Generation Portable and will be available this coming holiday.

Thought of as a platform for casual gamers, the great games that come out for it rarely get their time in the spotlight. That said, I've compiled a list of ten of the platform's greatest games in 2010. If you consider yourself a gamer at all, you should do yourself a favor and pick up these games.

According to NPD analyst Anita Frazier, the United States install base of Nintendo's portable console should surpass that of the PlayStation 2 "by October or November."
