MARGIN MAKER PS3 PYRAMID CHARGER
VENOM’S latest line-up of accessories includes the Pyramid Charger for PS3. The pyramid-shaped charger allows up to two SixAxis or DualShock 3 controllers to charge side-by-side.
Controllers can be docked onto the pyramid, which offers an alternative docking solution for any spare controllers, making sure you’re never
picking up an unit that has no charge. The dock also contains a blue neon power light at the base that lets you know when the controllers are being charged. It also connects via USB so it can be connected into the console. With a recommended retail price of £19.99, it’s a great charging solution at an affordable price. Venom UK: 01763 284181

Portal has a lot of out of the ordinary stuff such as the plush cube, socks, earrings and cookie cutters. We are expecting new waves of great stuff from Assassin’s Creedwith a lot of new books and toys – and more Halo. There certainly seems to be a

Is there anything in the works to expand Forbidden Planet in any way? We moved into a new store in Croydon earlier this year but beyond that, let’s just say we are always looking for new projects.
