• ‘TegraZone’ Gaming Store Announced by Nvidia

  In Android News / 9 January 2011 / 0 comments

  

  Nvidia is creating a gaming store they call the ‘TegraZone’! (I wonder if we’ll hear the ghost of Rod Serling talking it up?)

Yeah, it seems like a marketing gimmick, but you can’t blame Nvidia for wanting to showcase their spiffy new dual-core processor.

It’ll be nice to have a specific place to go that only has ‘higher-end’ (tech specs wise) games. What are your thoughts?
