The Hardware of Gamescom 2014

The Hardware of Gamescom 2014

As the name of the event indicates, Gamescom is mostly about games, and there surely was a lot going on in this regard. But games, of course, need hardware, both to run on and for interaction. And as hardware enthusiasts, there was only one thing on our minds, so we set about finding the newest products being showcased in Cologne.


Of course, Gamescom isn't as big as Computex in this regards (see here for our Computex 2014 coverage), but there was still enough to keep us occupied for a few days! Click the links below for coverage of each company.
