Thinking of rounding out your entertainment center's arsenal with an Android-based game console? You've certainly got options: [Ouya](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Ouya/), [GameStick](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GameStick/) and [Project Shield](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/nvidia-project-shield-tegra-4/) are all vying for a spot on your couch. On the other hand, you might already have a perfectly serviceable Android device just waiting to be converted into a makeshift games console -- that's where [Green Throttle Games](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/06/green-throttle-games/) comes in. By pairing a dual-stick gamepad with a console-like game launcher, Green Throttle aims to turn any Android device into a gaming platform. We spent some time with a [developer build](http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/17/green-throttle-games-atlas-and-arena-hands-on/) of the setup late last year, but today the company officially launched the Green Throttle Arena and its companion Atlas controller. We popped in to the firm's Santa Clara office to see what changed.
