Amazon Fire TV to Feature Asymmetric Games

Amazon's heavily rumoured console has come to life, boasting an gaming experience that'll offer asymmetric play.

Based on Google's popular Android platform, the Fire TV is pitched as a discreet set-top content box, featuring streaming TV and media, with it's own dedicated remote and Xbox-esque game controller. Specs wise, the hardware packs in a quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM and various ports. The box alone (without controller) will retail for $99.

One of the games shown was Sev Zero, a third person shooter/tower defense hybrid created by Amazon's own studios. The key highlight, though, is the idea that a second player will be able to use a companion app on tablets to involve a secondary player in an asymmetric way.
