Abstract: The OUYA Game Console potentially gives Android gamers hours of fun on their TV instead of a phone or tablet. The system comes in a small package with an acceptable controller. We just want to see more titles before we recommend the OUYA to the average ga...

The console has a cheap controller, unstable software, lacks compelling games, has a dearth of useful media apps, and low graphics performance
