NVIDIA Project Shield Hands On: A Little Less Weird Than It Looks
#nvidia Nvidia's Project Shield is a curious little device, attempting to toss its hat into a bunch of rings at once. It's taking shots at handheld gaming, console gaming, tablets, and phones.

I think I'd let Cobra Commander or Bane holler. Doctor Octopus is too creepy. [World of Heroes via The Awesomer] More » Read similar
