Now the dust has settled and things have moved on for Gizmondo i was just wondering what you guys thought.
Like you, as soon as they said they were anti home brew i didn't pay much attention, however i always had a slight interest.
At the begining of April i took the plunge ?28 for the console from HMV (got a mates staff discount) and have to say its one of the best designed handhelds the gaming world has ever seen.
The graphical ability is wowing in some areas and this was just a slight scratch at what the machine could do. If you look at games like Chicane, Carmageddon, and Jump they are amazing (as good as if not better than the PSP).
I just can't believe that this handheld managed to go under the radar.
Now the company has gone under the console has bene cracked and we are enjoying home brew emus, theres a very nice SNES emu a fully working NES emu and Mega Drive emu, as well as ones for PCE and game Gear/Master system.
With the right people at the helm i am sure this console could have done the business, while maybe not challenging Sony or Nintendo still establishing its self in the market.
I would fully reccomend picking one up, just for the home brew and the few fantastic retails games that are out there
Trailblazer
Sticky Balls
Hit and Myth
Chicane
All this and it can function as a GPS/sat nav system as well as an MP3/MP4 player, texting and emailing.
