Review: GUNNAR Optiks Intercept Colors

The Onyx just found a few new family members that truly highlights the model and personifies the gamer.  It’s the first time GUNNAR have ever made such a bold move to personalize the look of the gamer and contain its integrity of providing players with high-tech optical view from PC to consoles to everyday life.

Available in five new colors: Cobalt, Fire, Kryptonite, Ghost and Ink, The INTERCEPT’s have never looked better. The frames alone scream “nerd wear,” which to IRB Gamer means a gamer’s must have article of clothing or accessories. In other words, the frame design is high quality, very durable and well a part of today’s fashion. Now you can define the inner you with the colors of your choosing.

“With the introduction of the INTERCEPT Color Collection, we’ve given everyone, from hardcore gamers to creative designers to technophiles of all types, a chance to show off their individuality and style – while protecting and enhancing their vision.” – CEO, Joe Croft.

Enhancing the vision is exactly what GUNNAR does best! To some, I’ve heard “all I see is the yellow tent.” I have personally challenged them all and propose the same challenge to you. Reading have become more of a relief as there’s less strain to the eyes as the words suddenly come off the page. Televised shows like E3 or other live events grants an even higher resolution viewing, making pictures and videos appear closer while utilizing the protective anti-glare lens to allow additional hours of viewing.

Then there’s the gaming experience. As a reviewer I pour countless hours into gaming and writing and editing. GUNNAR Optiks are spot on with providing a top of the line experience. Games like FIFA, NHL, and NBA 2K that usually gives you the side view angles stand out with GUNNAR products.

It’s not all about the look by the way, it’s also about the comfort provided by the brand. The biggest complexity with owning the wrong frames is the amount of time you keep them on without them triggering pressure points from your ears or your nose. The INTERCEPT’s manage to allow you to wear, play and operate stress free.

GUNNAR recommend to first time users, for a week at least, to use the glasses for 3 hours or more a day to allow your eyes to fully adjust to wearing GUNNAR’s.

It’s not just about how play when you step on the Battlefield, when Duty Calls or even when the Titans Fall! It’s about how long you want to play, enhancing the experience when you play and owning the look while you play.

The INTERCEPT’s new color collection is available now at Fry’s Electronics, Amazon.com, Best Buy, GameStop, Zappos.com and most importantly at GUNNARS.com at the suggested retail price starting at $59.00. Pick up a pair today!
