Chris Burns It's not often that we review the services of a device we've reviewed in the past, but the opening of the gates NVIDIA is providing here in the SHIELD, we must. When NVIDIA SHIELD was first introduced, the service that would eventually...

Solid guts with great GPU, PC streaming has virtually no lag, Access to full Google Play
Pricey, Finicky Console Mode, Recessed joysticks feel terrible after extended play
While the Shield is a great gaming device, it suffers from a high price point against an already crowded field of Android devices.Image: Mashable...
