Hands ON | Ouya Review

THE ANDROID GAMES CONSOLE called the Ouya first came to our attention midway through 2012 when it appeared on the Kickstarter fundraising website.

Launched on Kickstarter mere hours after it opened in the UK, the Ouya was something of an anomaly.The project's David and Goliath goal to take on heavyweights Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo with the world's first Android powered games console proved an instant hit and it shortly met its first funding goal.

Roku 3 Review

Roku is plugging headphones and several other new features into its latest set-top box for streaming Internet video to TVs, a move that amplifies its effort to upstage Apple's better-selling player.

The Roku 3 box going on sale Wednesday also includes a more powerful search engine to find movies, TV shows and music more quickly and new menu for perusing the more than 750 online services available through the device. The new model will be sold for $100, initially only at Roku's website and Amazon.com. Next month, it will expand into other retail outlets, including Costco and Best Buy stores. Prices for older Roku models with less horsepower start at $50.
