Some of you may remember a story from a few months ago, found here, in which we reported that OUYA had been bought by Razer for an undisclosed amount of money. Well it seems that the fruits of that deal are starting to ripen for Razer. Today the company announced ‘Cortex’, a revived version of the OUYA Store, which Razer brands as “A new chapter in Android TV gaming.”
This new ‘Cortex’ store is said to give gamers a new curated ecosystem for all their favorite games on the Android TV platform. Apparently, all content that was available on the previous OUYA Store will be available on this revamped version, and Razer promises many new titles in the near future, including games like Mimic. On top of bringing back the OUYA Store from the dead, this new Razer store promises a new proprietary algorithm, called Z-Rank, which they claim offers “best-in-class discoverability”.
What’s great about the Forge TV is that, unlike on the OUYA, the ‘Cortex’ store is not your only option for downloading content. Forge TV users also have access to the vast selection of apps available through the Google Play Store. Just like the OUYA Store, however, the ‘Cortex’ store runs in a seperate ecosystem from Google Play, so purchases made on one will not transfer to the other. While that may be annoying for some, having access to two different stores is going to assure gamers that they have access to the most amount of games, new and old, possible.
There is absolutely nothing to lose by trying this new store out, in fact you can only gain. Razer is giving out $10 to all of you who sign up for ‘Cortex’ to get some free games and test out the new features. If you are an owner of a Forge TV then go try out the new ‘Cortex’ store, and let us know what you think!
