Last week I went into a violent rage when I heard Envizions had given someone the opportunity to review their new EVO 2 DX system. At that time all we had was the video, now we can read the actual review. Check out excerpts from the review below:
System Overview
The EVO 2 DX is custom designed for the television gamer looking for the unique experience of PC gaming with the bonus ability to tap into the massive Android market for games and apps typically reserved only for smartphone and tablet users. Motion gamers aren’t overlooked either as full gesturing capabilities come packaged as well (at this time requiring only a standard webcam to interact; EVO-specific hardware not unlike the Kinect and Playstation Move is in the works).
Pricing
Pricing puts the unit closer to the PC gaming hardware side of the spectrum than it does the ever-decreasing current generation of home consoles with two variations planned at launch: A standard Windows 7 Premium system and a Blu-Ray equipped version for $579 and $679 respectively.
Design
The hardware itself is surprisingly sleek in person; an all black slim case offset with only a single red EVO badge on the upper right of the front panel. The red and black motif is masterfully applied to the wireless controllers as well.
Gameplay
A big part of this system’s appeal lies in its gaming ability and fortunately, right out of the box, it contains the ability to run game programs through quite a wide range of media. Using the included BlueStacks app, accessing the ever-expanding Android market place is as simple as launching the application and selecting what you wish to try. We played literally dozens of games during our time with the console this way (ranging from Angry Birds clones to driving games, shooters etc.) without encountering a hitch.
