quite small and will need to be strengthened if Nvidia hopes to hold onto customers past the 90 day free-trial period.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Like in other instances with TV streaming services, the hope is that enough people invest to make it a viable system to add new titles, hopefully this can come to fruition.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> GeForce NOW lets you stream a library of new and classic PC games at up to 1080p resolution at 60 FPS, although it’s advised to take advantage of the Shield TV’s ethernet cable to avoid lag issues.</div> <div

title="Nvidia Shield TV review: The gaming machine to take on the PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo NX?" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The GeForce NOW streaming service includes library of games</td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It seems online will play a huge role in the future of gaming and I would be surprised if the likes of Sony and Microsoft adapt some of the ideas of game streaming for their future needs.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The GeForce NOW Gaming Service is priced at £7.49 per month in the United Kingdom, there is also a chance to buy new premium titles that can be added to your library.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It was nice to find The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor among the selection.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The GEforce NOW monthly subscription service includes 50 titles, like Batman Arkham: Origins, LEGO Marvel Superheroes, GRID Autosport, Ultra Street Fighter IV and the Vanishing of Ethan Carter.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The ambitions to make this a potential player in the gaming world are plain to see, Nvidia have gone to great lengths to try and bring something competitive to the market which could catch the audience’s eye.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The industry is crying out for some viable alternatives to the old console guard, something that can do game streaming well, while also going further to include improved features.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> However, when it comes to the Shield TV’s other function as a set-top box, it fares slightly worse in comparison to its rivals.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The level of apps available are still quite low and while it offers the chance of 4K compatibility, Nvidia will really need to focus on expanding the amount of services users can access.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> BBC iPlayer, Vevo, Netflix, Plex and Twitch make the list  but with rivals offering more some may think twice about picking the Shield TV.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The Shield TV can also <a href="http://shield.nvidia.co.uk/blog/twitch-tv-on-shield-uk" target="_blank">broadcast via Twitch</a>, making it the first media streaming device capable of the feat and as it's an Android device, side-loading is always an option for things like Google Chrome.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> For those into looks, the Shield TV boasts am aesthetically pleasing design that will look good alongside your telly, although some may grumble at having to pay extra for a stand.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The Shield TV's other key components also stand up well, the controller is a solid performer, I didn’t feel hindered using it on a range of games and its USB charging design is a welcome sight to avoid endless battery-changing.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Being an Android device, gamers can also play titles from the Google Store, with the likes of Resident Evil 5 and Metal Gear Rising set to be added soon.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In terms of pricing, the Shield TV 16GB model can be picked up with a free remote and a controller for £149, competitively set against consoles that are bound to be discounted on a regular basis.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The classic <a href="https://twitter.com/OddworldInc">@oddworldinc</a> Munch’s Oddysee on SHIELD with a hilarious script and multiple endings! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RuletheLivingRoom?src=hash">#RuletheLivingRoom</a> <a href="https://t.co/S10ENVNXCe">pic.twitter.com/S10ENVNXCe</a></p>— NVIDIA SHIELD (@nvidiashield) <a href="https://twitter.com/nvidiashield/status/667510119207342080">November 20, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <div style="text-align: justify;"> There is also a 500GB option, which weighs in with a hefty 219.99 price tag.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> For me, the Shield TV could be the perfect gaming compromise for someone looking to cater to several 21st Century needs.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Without needing to buy a separate console for games, a powerful PC, or a tablet, the right person will find most of what they need in one item.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> However, compromise does come into it as well, paying a big fee for a box that is hardly competitive against its app-heavy rivals will lead some to pause.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Hopefully the Shield TV proves to be the start of something in gaming that will include more devices merging what an owner’s needs into one device, while also providing fresh alternatives for gamers to explore.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It could indeed be the answer to some family homes where both casual games and top AAA titles can be found, the mix of popular Android and core gaming titles, will make it a top device to have in the living room.</div>
