Zune HD 3D games video hands-on

It took us a tick to get our Zune HD loaded up with those new 3D games that were released this morning, but we thought you might want to check out a quick hands-on. That Tegra chip is no joke — the graphics in PGR: Ferrari Edition are easily on par with the PSP and quite possibly better, with intricate textures, high-quality reflections, and smooth framerates

HP Envy 15 unboxing and hands-on

Neo Slim 3000 handheld promises game emulation and more

It’s not quite as sleek as some homebrew-minded handhelds, or as full-featured as some others , but anything that hearkens back to the days when videos games were measured in bits gets a few points in our book, and this new Neo Slim 3000 looks to have things well covered on that front. While complete details are still a bit light, this one is said to pack a 3.5-inch 320 x 240 display, 2GB of built-in memory, an SD card slot for expansion, a full range of PMP features and, most importantly, support for NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy Advance emulation right out of the box — with other options presumably also available depending on the device’s capabilities. Still no word on a price just yet, but the folks at Neoflash say this one is “coming soon.” [Via Console-Hacking.com , thanks Craig] Filed under: Gaming , Handhelds Neo Slim 3000 handheld promises game emulation and more originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:34:00 EST
