CES 2012, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow, is undoubtedly a techie's dream come true. Between the thousands of exhibitors, mind-blowing product reveals, and the numerous events that take place during the week, there is no better place to be than in Vegas in early January. While the main focus for the Consumer Electronics Show is technology in general, having a gaming mindset, people such as ourselves tend to relate the various technologies to gaming in some fashion ans imagine how it could be implemented into our favorite videogame titles.

One of the companies we met at CES 2012, EyeTech Digital Systems, had a technology that was easily able to be related to gaming and that was eye-tracking. Imagine being able to view your environment simply by moving your very own eyes rather than having to navigate analog sticks. Imagine looking to the left/right to see a Ferrari flying past you in an intense race. The possibilities are endless and while covering CES 2012 we met up with Caleb Hinton, Engineering Manager for EyeTech, to provide us with a brief overview of the technology they had to show.

Hello everyone and welcome back to Nick’s Gaming View where I, Nick McCandless, cover the latest gaming news and events throughout the industry. It’s been over a month since the last episode of Nick’s Gaming View due to the holidays and traveling out to Vegas for CES 2012, but I am glad to be back to producing Nick’s Gaming View for the wonderful fans of the show and TheGamerAccess.com. While this week was light for gaming news due to the conclusion of CES 2012, nothing stopped Capcom from announcing their upcoming sequel to their action-packed thriller.

I also cover NetherRealm Studios’ latest announcement in regards to bringing Mortal Kombat to the PlayStation Vita. While the Vita’s release will be similar to that of the 2011 PS3 version of Mortal Kombat, Ed Boon, Creative Director at NetherRealm Studios, has announced a plethora of Vita-exclusive content that will appear when Mortal Kombat launches on PlayStation Vita spring of this year.

To wrap it up, I discuss the biggest, most devastating threat yet from global hacking group, Anonymous. If you think shutting down the PlayStation Network for over a month is worth noting, just wait till you hear what they have in store now. Episode #62 of Nick’s Gaming View cannot go unseen, so be sure to hit play and enjoy the show! This is Nick’s Gaming View!

For those following TheGamerAccess.com and the plethora of CES 2012 coverage we have been posting, last week you would have seen Britney Parks interview Jerry Hart, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Nokia to speak on their recently announced Nokia Lumia 900 device along with its Windows Phone implementation. Today, you will see Britney Parks interview Frank Larson, Sales Trainer for Nokia to speak on the deep integration of Xbox LIVE with Windows Phone.

While Android and iOS are unarguably the two most popular mobile platforms of today, the one thing that separates Windows Phone distinctively from the iOS and Android platforms is the integration of the most successful online gaming network available on consoles, Xbox LIVE. Having the ability to communicate with those on your friend list, compare achievements with other Xbox LIVE users and much more while on the move with your phone is simply incredible. Check out our walkthrough with Nokia to discuss the deep integration of Xbox Live within Windows Phone.

We welcome our good friend Hayden back and our new guest Luke to the podcast. Onwards, we talked various 3DS topics, Pokémon, Metal Gear, throw Mass Effect ideas around, and give our view on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

Coming soon, we will debut a new video show on The Gamer Access! We got this idea during our Game of the Year discussions, so stay tuned.
