Finally real gaming without spending hundreds of dollars on a gaming system. - Amazon Customer

The Fire TV is an ideal type of multimedia streaming box to bring gaming to the living room. It has a quad-core processor and a dedicated graphics chip to speed up gaming visuals. It pumps all that out in high definition at 1080p. - Fox Business

I can say this: gaming on the Fire TV is very real, and bears some serious watching. - CNET
