There were many gamer-friendly gadgets at this year’s CES but, due to technological limits and simple human exhaustion, we couldn’t quite get them all on Gadgetell.
Here a reduced version of the list I compiled for my local CiN Weekly column featuring the better gaming gadgets and announcements from CES 2007. Read on for the list…
Razer Reclusa gaming keyboard with gold-plated USB plug Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse Nyko WiiMote charger
Nyko PS3 wireless controller charger (4 controllers at one time)
Novint Tech.’s Falcon 3D controller, maybe the weirdest item I found. The pointed mouse floats on robot arms and gives back a bit of resistance so it feels like you are touching the items on your computer.
Alienware m9750 laptop (bling and caching)
TDVision Systems’ 3D visor that turns any 2D video into 3D
Samsung’s Series 53 and 54 LCD HDTVs with increased viewing angles and extras ports for game systems.
N-Gage will become a software package that will work with their NSeries devices and will not be a specific N-Gage branded hardware device (I confirmed this with Nokia).
Zune will play games by July 2008
Sony, besides the unfortunate PR blunder, won two Emmys and announced and agreement with Midway to offer more downloadable games.
Nintendo was a no-show but Wiis were on display everywhere and they won an Emmy for their D-pad.
Microsoft promoted Vista with the FPS game, Crysis, showed off the Xbox 360 controller working with a Vista PC, console and PC content sharing, a raise in the 50MB download cap on games and some Zune integration.
