The Consumer Electronics Show played host to a lot of new technological revelations...none of them necessarily groundbreaking but many of them were cool nonetheless. One of those cool tech gadgets includes Razer's new gaming tablet called the Fiona, and it plays core PC games while you're on the go. Both Microsoft and Sony had nil to show at the CES 2012 regarding next-gen consoles and Sony took it a step further and said that they also had no plans whatsoever to unveil anything at the upcoming E3 tradeshow. A major bummer for next-gen enthusiasts. Perhaps Microsoft is still in the running? Well, we'll have to see when E3 gets here. These stories and more in this January 14th, 2012 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
