Google is expected to make gaming a major focus for its upcoming “Nexus TV” following its acquisition of Green Throttle Games, the company behind the Atlas game controller for Android.

The search giant’s upcoming set-top box will reportedly compete with Android-powered consoles like the OUYA, allowing users to play smartphone and tablet games on their TVs.

Samsung’s new NotePRO 12.2 tablet is now available to pre-order in the United Kingdom, priced at an eye-watering £649 ($788). That’s for the Wi-Fi only model, which will be leaving Samsung’s warehouse and making its way to your door on Tuesday, February 4 — and it comes with a free Gamepad worth £59.

Archos launched its first Android-powered gaming tablet, the GamePad, back in 2012, and to be completely honest it wasn’t too impressive, particularly when compared to the beastly NVIDIA Shield.

Now, the French consumer electronics company is taking another shot at conquering the mobile gaming industry, with the announcement of its new, revamped successor to the original 7-inch gaming slate.

Gameloft has announced that it has been forced to postpone the launch of Modern Combat 5 for Android and iOS until 2014 to “fully achieve [its] vision” for the game. The first-person shooter was first confirmed in an impressive teaser trailer back in June, and we initially expected it to be available before the end of the year.

Now we’ll have to wait a little longer.
