Ouya Nabs Games From Airtight, Minority Media

@lordkorax: Must have purchase it with all those sick Quantum Conundrum royalties.

I get it, video games don't have many women to hold up as a shining example for design, but when will the media get over the love affair of this mediocre designer? Pretty clear Portal was a group success, not just this one person and I think there are more talented women out there that should be in the media lime light.

I Completely agree.
She doesn't seem like a bad designer, but Quantum Conundrum is mediocre, especially when compared to Portal.

Xbox. No thank you, asshole.

@patrickklepek I'm getting caught up on some news articles from the past couple weeks.

"Ouya hardware will begin shipping to backers on March 28, and arrives for general populous in June."

"Populous" is an adjective describing something that is very populated (also a god game :P). You probably meant "populace", which is a noun that generally means "the masses".

I'm really surprised that so many members from a niche community like Giant Bomb have difficulty in understanding the Ouya. The Big Three consoles have scary amounts of overhead! Dealing with Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo can be extremely expensive and challenging -- if they even give you the time of day! They make you jump through a lot of hoops!

The Ouya has the open concept of the App Store or Google Play combined with a TV and controller. "Hardcore" gamers often complain that touch-screen games are kiddy and that they can never be hardcore since they lack a proper controller. This system shouts out to indie developers looking to make console games that can be played using a controller and a TV.

Also, you can bypass the risk of needing to have a hard copy release! In essence, game developers who are skilled at making Android games, but who wish they could make hardcore games that feature more than a touch screen, now have the chance to make some really awesome low cost games, designed for controllers and TVs.

<p>&lt;p&gt;it upsets me when everyone I talk to has the same thing to say about ouya "it's only $100". First of all I don't care what anyone thinks $100 is a lot of money, regardless of the times or cost of living. Secondly when was it ok to just take that kind of money and just carelessly throw it down on something your not even sure of or want for that matter. In my opinion the ouya is useless, you want a emulator get a 1st gen Xbox and jtag it or use your pc, want to stream any current gen console will stream, even some tv's stream want indie games keep playing them on your phone. I can go on and on but you see the point, there isn't anything the ouya can do that can't be done now. Save your $100

I lol'ed.

Even he doesn't know...

OOooOO yooOOO
