GameStick Closes With a Grand Total of 648% Funding
If you’ve been following the world of gaming over the last few weeks, especially the world of Kickstarter funded gaming projects, then you’ll have no doubt come across the GameStick.
The device allows users to plug into any TV which sports a HDMI socket and play games anywhere they want. Everything that you need is bundled inside the controller itself too, so you can take it absolutely anywhere you’re going too.
Anthony Johnson, CMO at PlayJam, said “We are overwhelmed, excited, grateful, thrilled and everything in between. The campaign has been an incredible success with support from thousands of backers worldwide but this is just the beginning.The feedback from the Kickstarter community has been invaluable in shaping the final product and we will continue to seek input from those that supported us to ensure continued innovation ahead of a global retail launch.”
Now that the Kickstarter campaign has closed, you can’t make pledges for the device any more, however, you’ll soon be able to pre-order the controller-based console so keep an eye on GameStick.TV.

By day I play video games, test video games or just simply write about them. By night I fight crime on the streets of London as a masked vigilante known only to a select few ... damn SECRET identity. Could never get the hang of that.
I've been writing about video games for about 10 years now, and playing them for even longer, starting off with a Spectrum ZX passed down to me in about 1988. Yes, I used to play games that came on cassettes. Yes, they were AWESOME!
I've been writing for God is a Geek since October 2010 and loving every minute of it, aside from that I write for my own website and work as a video game tester for Testology. So, yeah, I'm pretty much living the life of a gamer, and I don't intend stopping anytime soon thank you very much.
Unless I run out of money, then we might have a problem.
