THE VERDICT
Overall, gaming on the Fire TV is a compelling experience, though it obviously targets a much more casual demographic. But when paired with the vast wealth of streaming entertainment from most major services, the Fire TV’s gaming functionality makes for a cheap all-in-one solution for a room away from your next-gen console or entertainment center. However, with ever persistent rumors of Apple’s plans to take on living room gaming with its 2014 update to the Apple TV, Amazon could soon face stiff competition.
8.0=GREAT
Amazon's claim to the living room is a solid first effort with only a few minor blemishes.
+Convenient Voice Search
+Tons of Games and Media
+Affordable Price
– Lacks HBO Go
– Controller Sold Separately
