Posted on August 7, 2012 by Seung Lee

The $99 Ouya is really small; it looks like it could fit into the palm of your hand. One of the few images released today on the console’s Kickstarter page happened to give away the Android-powered console’s shape and size. It basically looks like a small black-and-white GameCube (well, sort of, anyway).

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

There is so much to dissect from the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops I trailer it’s insane. In just two minutes and seventeen seconds Activision shows us several weapons and tools of destructions. If you’re a fan of unmanned vehicles and gunships, there are tons of those. There are even a few up close and personal options I can’t wait to try like the stun-gun like proximity grenade shown at the begining of the trailer or the throwing knives shown at the end. We’ll hopefully be able to dissect the entire trailer later on in the day. Until then

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Rae Michelle Richards

There are still a lot of things we don’t know about Nintendo’s upcoming WiiU including the device’s price, how much the games will cost and what their box art will look like.
