booya has an android-based game system that costs $99 the package includes the system one controller and an hdmi cable if you're here wondering whether the odds worth the money let me answer that straight away it's not at least not yet as luckily that we as biggest problems our software based we are small enough to fit into the palm of most hands and includes hdmi micro USB full USB and an Ethernet port it also supports Wi-Fi Bluetooth and includes 8 gigabytes of internal storage games must be downloaded however you can expand aaliyah storage with a USB drive the games are all free to try but most will ask for about three to sixteen dollars from the full version the we are controller feels Hollow and brittle almost like it was smashed into a million pieces if it fell on the floor it won't do that but it just feels that way the analog stick can be real squeaky and the face buttons have the rare tendency of getting stuck under the removable battery plate the trigger buttons are creaky and honestly don't really feel like triggers and aren't calibrated with enough resistance the interface looks and feels like a proof of concept rather than something fully fledged and professional and crashed on me several times there are currently no profiles achievements or leaderboards and non-gaming content like Netflix and Hulu have to be siloed it from android apk s and in my experience aren't optimized to work with the controller there are currently a few apps like twitch and flixster what's there is extremely bare-bones if you're into indie gaming saying that's where we are will hold its strongest appeal every is also an Ouya development kit so virtually anyone can make games for it because of this you will see lots of small unrefined efforts on the system as well as several Android ports you'll also see tower phone we ask killer app it may be difficult to tell here but you can easily lose several hours playing this awesome local multiplayer game seriously once you get the hang of the game which takes all of 20 seconds you lose yourself however even at only 99 dot who I needs many many more of these types of experiences to be worth its cost you can ramp up on good games add native music and video streaming apps fix the bugs and build out the interface we could have a viable console here graphically it doesn't compare with the xbox 360 or ps3 and the controller leaves a lot to be desired but as biggest problems could be fixed over the next few months here's hoping that happens i'm eric franklin and this has been a first look at the oh yeah
