That’s One Small Ouya!


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). Don’t laugh the Ouya off just yet though, because some new features that were also revealed today might just tickle your fancy.

Call of Duty Black Ops II Multiplayer Reveal Trailer


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 check out the Multiplayer Reveal trailer below.

Blacks Ops II ships out on November 13th 2012.

Rumor: Amazon Leaks WiiU Box Art


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. One of these deep burning might have been answered thanks to several Amazon listings.

If the box art listed on Amazon for Avengers Battle for Earth and Assassins Creed III are accurate than the WiiU Box art looks very similar to the GameCube’s box art, color scheme notwithstanding. The supposed WiiU box’s sport a baby blue header with white “Wii U” branding and a yellow border separating the box art image from the header.

If these are real, what are your thoughts, readers? Check out two of the images after the jump.Read More
