The Best Nintendo Ds Lite Case
by webmaster on Feb.09, 2011, under Nintendo Ds
Official Licensed DS Lite Cases put to the test
Nintendo DS Lite Console Cases are everywhere and available to everyone’s budget and taste. At tgrav.com we look for DS Lite Cases that are different and offer the gamer something more.
I have been testing a few cases from A4T, Venom, Big Ben, PDP, MadCatz & Joytech and have the following conclusions;
A4T came from nowhere a few years ago and have grown to be a major player in the gaming accessories market, my concern for them is can they stay innovative and keep the consumer interested?
Venom and Big Ben are really one of the same and have developed a joint range that still impresses me; their range of cases has grown from accessory packs to stand alone, high quality cases targeted at a broad range of consumer.
MadCatz seem to have lost the way slightly and this is a real shame, they have some fabulous products in other ranges, but DS really lets them down.
Joytech is similar, although their Tech Pack XL has always been a great seller at tgrav.com. Since they and Saitek were purchased by MadCatz I guess they are all looking at their range(s) and will be back with vengeance very soon.
PDP is the new kid on the UK block, a very established brand in the USA with their PDP and Pelican labels. PDP have really thought about being innovative and market leading. The range is smaller than their competitors, but changes regularly enough to stay fresh and appealing.
The DS Lite Case Verdict
From Venom / Big Ben I would strongly recommended the Flip Case, available in Black, Blue, White & Pink the case is made from good quality leather and has a classy magnetic fastener. They are also launching a red case for the new DS Lite Colours. We all want to protect our console and the case did a great job. As a 30 something male the case looked great next to my Blackberry and iPod on the train. This case would appeal to people similar to me and to our older generation of DS gamers. The case is Officially Licensed by Nintendo. It is also perfect for, in my opinion, girls as the pink case is the best one I have seen and fantastic seller. I have seen them retail from £9.99 to £14.99, at the high end price point I would more than happy with my purchase. http://www.tgrav.com/ProductCategories.aspx?catid=520
Venom / Big Ben has excelled themselves with cases and they also take the second slot in my verdict with their DS Lite Glitter case. They do everything you want from a DS case and look great. Plus they are only £6.99! http://www.tgrav.com/ProductDetails.aspx?prodid=5847&catid=520
So there you have it, two cases that are available now at tgrav.com and tick all the boxes for two very different DS gamer.

Download Free Wii Games Today
by webmaster on Jan.27, 2011, under Wii
Downloading free Wii games is an idea that makes every console owner foam at the mouth. Wii’s are pretty hard to find these days, and are slowly winning the next generation console war. In the rest of this article we’ll show you how to download free Wii games..
The humble, affordable, underpowered Wii has already left a large impression on the history of games consoles. There are more Wii owners than any other current generation console, and most of them want nothing more than to download free Wii games. In order to do that, there are a few things every Wii owner should know about downloading free games…
1-Firstly, you need to decide on your definition of “free”. It is possible to download free Wii games of a few different kinds. The most obvious kind is the new games and big releases that you’d find in stores. You can usually find these to download if you know where to look, but it’s only legal for you to download them if you already own the original. You may wonder why people bother, but it’s purely to use as a backup, so they can use that version and save the original from being scratched or whatever. It may sound crazy but it’s true, and yes people do download free Wii games just for this purpose.
2-The other kind of game is the homebrew kind of game. A game that’s been home brewed is just what the title suggests, a game that’s been made in someone’s home, IE, not a big professional release. These games are obviously of a slightly lower quality than the big releases, but hey they are free, and you can find some genuinely interesting stuff. It’s quite common for new gaming ideas to first be used in homebrew stuff, things like physics and ragdoll effects.
How To Go About It:
If you are intent on downloading free Wii games as backup software for games you already have, you can’t just slide the copied disc into the Wii and have it work. Nintendo are far too smart for that, any disc that doesn’t contain special code and manufacturer information will be rejected. To prevent this you’ll need to install a new chip inside your Wii, on one of the empty serial buses. That’s right, I said inside. You’ll need to open your Wii, and there will be soldering and everything. Feeling queasy? Doesn’t seem like such a great idea now does it?
You’ll be glad to hear that it’s a lot easier to download free Wii games of the homebrew variety. You’ll need a few different things – An SD card, an Action Replay for Gamecube, an SD card adapter, and some software called Sdload. If you have all these things it’s literally as simple as connecting it all together and using the SD card with the code in Memory Slot A, and using the Action Replay in Memory Slot B. Once you’ve got all this done there are a big list of codes you’ll need to use to unlock the Action Replay cartridge, there’s not room here, but these are readily available on the net.
Hopefully this article has opened your eyes a little to the various methods to download free Wii games. If you’d like to see one of the best download sites on the net, check out the link below.
