The (Un)Official Gaming News Topic - Computer Games - SSMB

There are many times where I'm sure there is a piece of gaming news, that really doesn't go into??a certain topic, nor is it topic-worthy on it's own. Something that is important, or said by a PR guy, comapny concerning their future, or a developer that just wants to address a matter towards consumers.

Because of these we usually put these news in the status updates, which gets lost quickly, or put it in a topic that has little or no relevance towards that topic.

This topic however is to accompany that reason.

If there is an interview that isn't with a game, something you think is interesting??but not topic worthy, or just news concerning the gaming industry, then by all means post it in this topic.??There's been times where I've seen a member not know where to post gaming news, or make a topic that doesn't have that much discussion value (myself included).

Because of that I hope this will cause for less useless topics, and alot more fun!??Right? okay...

So let me kick off this topic with some information on a new (third-party) home console!

Ouya:??a $99 hackable Android gaming console.

Quote

??Ouya has recruited the talents of Yves Behar to build a $99 Android game console that you can connect to a TV, with a high-concept developer ecosystem that's as free as can be. Any developer will be able to publish games, claims the listing, and all games will be free to play. Even the underlying hardware is "built to be hacked" ? every customer who buys a retail box will get a dev kit in the bargain, the site claims.

As we alluded to earlier, though, it's not just Jawbone Jambox and One Laptop Per Child designer Yves Behar who's on board. The project's advisors also include Ed Fries of Xbox fame, Amol Sarva of Peek, Peter Pham of Color, and counts Julie Uhrman of IGN as its founder and CEO. There's also a gentleman named Muffi Ghadiali, who appears to be leaving Amazon's Lab126 where he helped ship Kindle. At $99, the Ouya would be playing in the same space as Google TV boxes like Vizio's Co-Star, but we're eager to see what games Ouya might attract. We're on the lookout for more details and hope to have them for you soon.
