Another CES in Las Vegas has come and gone, and I have opted to skip the festivities. Maybe it's because the one year I did CES in Vegas it was so crowded that I had to wait three hours for a monorail (there were no taxis), and even longer for blackjack table. Maybe it's that after staring 10,000 versions of the same flat screen TV, my mind turns to jelly. Or maybe I'm a homebody.Thankfully, the rest of tech press don't mind consumer product overload. Here are five cool game trends or products to come out of CES this year. On the whole, 2014 could be a good year for games.
There comes a time in every consumer electronic device's life when an impasse of sorts is reached: it's been improved in nearly every way possible, but companies are still forced to constantly improve upon it if they wish to keep interest alive. While I wouldn't say this has happened to the tablet just yet, it's clear we're getting close. Lenovo has just unveiled the IdeaCentre Horizon, a 27-inch tablet running the Windows 8 operating system. And before you ask, no, it was not conceived in Texas. I think.
At the 2011 International CES in Las Vegas, Nevada the trend seemed to be on what new tablet was going to be the proverbial iPad Killer. That is, a tablet that is going to be superior in just about every way to Apple's breakthrough juggernaut.
