The Nintendo 3DS was officially launched last night in South Africa.
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend and be one of the first people in the country to play with Nintendo’s latest portable device.

At least something different. In my opinion, getting ‘stuck in a rut’ is quite a sad state of affairs. Unfortunately,

As movies come and go, there are usually only a handful of films which really pique my interest. One of those, which you may have guessed from this posts title, is that of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
