While we’re all stuck at home, our little ones are becoming increasingly bored and as a result of that, antsy. My son can only watch so many episodes of Nick Jr. shows. During the pandemic, we’ve built forts out of household objects, gone outside and rode a new scooter and a bike and played pretend […]
Continue ReadingSteam Cloud Play Could One Day Let You Play Your Steam Games On Your Chromebook…Without Steam
Back in January, we heard word from the Director and Product Manager of Chrome OS, Kan Liu, that the Chromebook team would be working with Valve to bring Steam to Chromebooks. This came as a surprise to pretty much everyone because even though Chrome OS could run the Linux version of Steam and even had […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Play Store Begins Showing Gameplay Videos for Listings and Why That’s a Big Deal
Today, Google Play listings for games started to show Youtube content in a section simply titled ‘Watch Others Play’. This feature doesn’t yet show on any of our devices and seems to be some sort of A/B testing for now. Here’s why this is a big deal for mobile gamers! The team over at Android […]
Continue ReadingMost of Google’s ‘Built-in’ Games Are Underrated
I honestly don’t expect most people have tried Google’s ‘built-in’ games much at all. They come pre-shipped with Android and Chrome OS devices and are basically Google Play Instant games or web apps. You can find them in the Google Play Games app. When you open the app, you’ll have a carousel of games which […]

I really enjoy gaming on Stadia, but the one thing my soul yearns for is a good MMORPG on the service. The ability to pick up and play a game with millions of other people on any device I’m using, almost no matter where I go is what’s missing for me. I picked up Elder […]
Continue ReadingAngry Birds 2 is the Perfect Family Quarantine Game That You Forgot About
Yes, I realize that I’m writing this in 2020, but that doesn’t stop Angry Birds 2 from being an incredible game that has aged really well. Seriously! This game is almost five years old and I would argue that it’s just as fun today as it was when I first played it. I was browsing […]
Continue ReadingFacebook Gaming Give Us What Youtube Gaming Took Away…Sort Of
When I saw Facebook’s new Gaming logo appear at the top of the app’s navigation menu, I thought it was some odd new venture I wouldn’t care about, like their Marketplace. Instead, I was surprised to see that the company had taken an interest in providing a space for gamers to stream and connect with […]
Continue ReadingMore Vikings Come Ashore as Jotun: Valhalla Edition Lands on Stadia
I don’t believe I’m even close to having my fill of Vikings, so to see Jotun come to Stadia was a pleasant surprise. Yes, it’s pronounced (Yo-tuhn). I’ve owned it on my Switch and PS4 for quite some time now, but have yet to play through much of it. Why, you may ask? Well, it […]

Sundered is a hand drawn metroidvania that I can only describe as the Dark Souls of games like Gris or Child of Light. It features beautiful environments, great voice overs, collectibles like corrupted treasures and plenty of other mystery and intrigue. The marketing slogan for the game is ‘Resist or Embrace’, referring to the Eldritch […]

Continue ReadingFinal Fantasy Tactics Painfully Reminds Me of the Divide Between Gamers and Developers
That Warm Fuzzy Feeling When Final Fantasy Tactics released on Playstation 1 in 1997, it became my introduction to the franchise. The tactical, grid-based combat diverged greatly from the active time battle (ATB) system of its predecessors, but that is what drew me to it. When I found the story, music, characters, and world of […]

Continue ReadingOPINION: Kingdom Hearts Dark Road Sums Up How I Feel About the Franchise
This Happens When? I have a love-hate relationship with Kingdom Hearts and I never thought that I would be writing a post that isn’t in favor of the series. The original captivated me with characters and stories that I became obsessed with, but the controls were terrible. The second game had great controls, but I […]
