The world of gaming is finally joining the tablet scene. Razer, a company popular for gaming gadgets, is now bringing an entirely new dimension to gaming with the new Project Fiona, a hybrid tablet and gaming PC. I bet gaming fanatics all over the world are considering emptying their piggy banks to pocket this handy gadget. I can already see little kids walking around like zombies, unable to lift their heads from the screen, fingers stuck to the twin analogue joysticks.

Online gaming has become very popular. This trend is spreading more and more, as Internet connections and speeds increase. And of course, with the flood of online games hitting the market.

Internet connection, as well as system requirements for your computer and speed all play a part in playing online. It can be frustrating though, if you’re in the middle of a major battle with an online opponent, and the game freezes, or buffers in the middle of your battle or war.

The game producers suggest using broadband Internet at the very least, because dial-up is becoming a thing of the past, and is going to cause more frustration than it is worth, with lags, and slow reaction times.

If you’re a gamer you may have been paying attention to the news that Razer ™ will soon be releasing what it calls the world’s first gaming laptop. This is not merely a laptop that is able to run games; it’s a laptop dedicated solely to games. And one of its key selling features is that it’s more portable than most other laptops designed to accommodate big games. That means it’s very, very thin.

Let’s start with its name: Razer™ Blade. It’s supposed to distil the essence of the machine – cutting edge, sleek and paper thin.

Then there are the specs:

I’m not the biggest gamer, I enjoy playing Backgammon on my phone and can spend hours trying to pop the green pigs on Angry Birds, but otherwise I like living in the real world. That said, even I think the new Nintendo 3DS looks beautiful.

This nifty device, the latest in Nintendo’s range, offers users real 3D graphics; no glasses needed. According to Nintendo, it is a breakthrough in portable entertainment.

Nafisa Akabor agrees. In a review of the new gaming device Akabor reports that the 3D screen is “nothing short of amazing” and that users will get the feeling that they can’t believe what they see.

Gaming: you love it or you hate it. Either way, two of the biggest names in the gaming industry, PlayStation and Nintendo, have taken great leaps forward and in 2011 will be releasing their latest portable gaming devices. Sony has built on the success of its PlayStation Portable (PSP) and come up with the Next Generation Portable (NGP), which it hopes to launch towards the end of the year. Meanwhile, Nintendo has been working on its 3DS, which it hopes will knock the socks off portable gaming addicts.

Next Generation Portable

Matt Peckham (PC World) calls the NGP a feature bonanza; Ben Patterson says it fulfills his “every wish for a next generation PSP” and these are some of the reasons why:

As a sometimes-self-confessed technophobe I often find it difficult to keep up with all the new gizmos and gadgets being offered by all the major electronics giants such as Apple, LG and Sony Computer Entertainment. It seems there’s one more to add to the plethora of gaming consoles already out there. The pocket-sized PlayStation Portable 2 is Sony’s latest (but unreleased) technical toy and Richard Adhikari of TechNewsWorld recently got wind of details concerning the eagerly-awaited device.
