A Look Into Video Games: Gameboy Camera

I think for many of us, when we were kids this was our first digital camera. It had horrible resolution, no color, and you could barely tell what anything was besides some faces. Yet it was really fun. I think the best combo was it with the Gameboy Pocket. Though you could still use it on a GBA.

A Look Into Video Games: Let There Be Light For My Gameboy!

In Japan they got one version of the original Gameboy system we failed to recieve. It was called the Gameboy Light, and it featured a back-lit screen so you could play in the dark.

Pokemon HeartGold Review

One of my bosses gave me a gift card for Christmas (along with everyone else in the department), and mine was one for Best Buy. They had a $20 sale on the game shortly after Christmas, and I wanted to get it. My girlfriend flipped out and started whining for me to give the copy to her, even though she already had SoulSilver. So for reasons I can't understand, I agreed and she was happy. Two
