Amazon's first big exclusive game for Fire TV is Sev Zero, which combines tower defense strategy with a third-person shooter.
Amazon Fire TV is just another drop in an ocean of media streaming set-top boxes with a rather unique focus on gaming. But is that enough to justify picking one up?
We analyze the launch of the Amazon Fire TV, and what could work in its favor down the road.
In addition to announcing exclusive games for their newly-announced Fire TV device, the company has acquired two big names to join Amazon Game Studios: Kim Swift and Clint Hocking, best known for their work on Portal and Far Cry 2, respectively.
Sev Zero is "built from the ground up" for Amazon's new set-top box, and showcases the console's ability to offer Wii U-esque asymmetric play.
As expected, Amazon has announced an Android-based set-top box. Fire TV looks a lot like Vita TV, and features a quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, and will support games.
While Amazon has yet to officially announce a set top box, it's commonly believed the company is developing a competitor to Apple TV. Today, a controller has been spotted.
Amazon has taken a major step forward into the world of game development by confirming its purchase of Double Helix, the development studio behind Killer Instinct and Strider.
