Another CES in Las Vegas has come and gone, and I have opted to skip the festivities. Maybe it's because the one year I did CES in Vegas it was so crowded that I had to wait three hours for a monorail (there were no taxis), and even longer for blackjack table. Maybe it's that after staring 10,000 versions of the same flat screen TV, my mind turns to jelly. Or maybe I'm a homebody.

Thankfully, the rest of tech press don't mind consumer product overload. Here are five cool game trends or products to come out of CES this year. On the whole, 2014 could be a good year for games.
