Earlier this month, Carolyn Koh traveled to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. While there, she had the opportunity to talk to a number of different game developers. Still, you can't go to CES without checking out the newest gadgets. Today, Carolyn gives us a look at some of what she saw.

Apart from the media events, hardware companies show on the floor of the convention center. Most are in the Sands Convention Tech area or South Hall. I made the trek out to North Hall just for Razer as they had a meeting room rather than a booth. CES boasted a “gaming” section this year which was dominated by furniture type gamer accessories as most other game hardware companies had other CE lines, or simply stayed where they’ve traditionally exhibited.

I started off hunting for my usual suspects that I’d seen at previous CES – Logitech – lots of “Digital Lifestyle” goodness: new remote, wireless keyboard, music server – Saitek was in the Bellagio and I ran out of time – that’s one I regret missing and Patriot memory was in a private meeting room – oh well, I then moved onto the other interesting ones that had come across my email as a member of the media, and some I ran across on the show floor. Some of them are doozies, so without further ado, here are the “nifty” gamer stuff I saw at CES 2008 in Las Vegas.

Read it all here.

I actually like slime

Seems pretty ridiculous to have that impact set. Who likes to feel pain?

Answer:
Masochists.

Heh. You didn't think it would be full force impact? If it were, I would have been writhing on the floor with pain, not writing about how cool it was. The impact was akin to a firm touch.
