Google Nexus Player Editor Rating:
The Google Nexus Player is what Google TV should have been. This device is simple looking and it's also quite simple to use, and yet it can be really useful. You can either install or sideload a ton of apps here and enjoy the content on your big TV this device is hooked up on. It has some shortcoming, of course, but considering the price point and the sheer usability of this device, we can't complain much. If you're into gaming, you can always purchase a separate Nexus Player Gamepad for that very purpose.
