veritronx: All that and not one mention of GTA3 or Max Payne?

i figured most people were aware of those releases, I wanted to recommend a few titles that most people weren't aware of.

novocaine: That would be terrible. It might be the best option to play Android games but it’s not it’s only purpose. I wouldn’t have even bothered looking at it if it had buttons and a joystick protruding from it.

I agree. Pretty much defeats the purpose of a tablet. I think I'll pick one of these up this week, even though the Surface is only a few months away. Can't have too much of a good thing!

cyrinno: why can’t they just put in a few buttons on the right side and a joystick on the left side and I’d be set surely it couldn’t cost that much.

Why? Especially when you can just plug in an Xbox controller and be done with it…
