First thing first - the Nvidia Shield is insanely powerful. Nvidia's Tegra 4 chipset is the absolute cutting edge in terms of mobile tech; it blows away pretty much every other Android hardware on the market when it comes to pure, unadulterated processing clout. From a gaming perspective this means that the Shield runs every Android game with ease; even taxing 3D titles like Real Racing 3 don't c

Abstract: From the amount of green-coloured lights on Nvidia's stand at the 2013 E3 gaming expo you'd be forgiven for thinking that the final build of its Shield portable games console is also green. But, fortunately, it's not. Previously we've only seen the clam-s...
