We tested a lot of hardware again this week - including the new Playstation Portal. We also pitted laptops, smartphones and powerbanks against each other. Let's get ready to rumble!

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
