On February 3, 2012, In Gadgets, Video Games, by dickskenyetta

A new mobile gaming startup that’s yet to release a single game isn’t the sort of thing we’d normally cover ’round here, but the story behind Los Angeles-based Innovative Leisure is anything but ordinary. The man behind the company is the co-creator of the Xbox, Seamus Blackley, and he’s brought with him eleven industry veterans that he calls “the dream team from Atari,” including the likes of Van Burnham, Ed Logg, Rich Adam, Tim Skelly, Owen Rubin, and Ed Rotberg.

On January 24, 2012, In Apple, Gadgets, Video Games, by tyronepwhenderson688

Xbox 720, Xbox Loop — whatever Microsoft ends up calling it, that hot rod of a console looks to be on deck for a late fall 2013 release. According to IGN’s sources, this successor to the Redmond gaming throne is purported to pack a GPU based on AMD’s 6000 series of chips and will boast silicon circuitry that catapults its performance past Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U by 20 percent. If you’re looking for a more apples to green X’s comparison, this next-gen console’s graphical capabilities are also reportedly six times greater than its 360 progenitor

LG’s Gaikai powered cloud gaming service hands-on

On January 11, 2012, In Gadgets, Video Games, by ToryRobinson

Between OnLive’s upcoming Google TV integration and LG’s recently announced cloud gaming application , the gap between gamer and game is narrowing rapidly. We dropped by LG’s CES booth to try out the outfit’s Gaikai powered offering and have to admit, it was pretty smooth. We hadoken’d our way through a few rounds of Street Fighter IV with winning results — as far as we can tell, the input delay was about as snappy as OnLive’s best offerings, although a few artifacts betrayed the stream’s clarity
