While Diablo Immortal has received a lot of negative attention since it was announced at Blizzcon 2018, (Do YoU gUyS nOt HaVe PhOnEs?), we believe that it deserves a chance. It can find a great home on Chromebooks which are personal computers if they just add keyboard and mouse support. Anyways, that’s a conversation for […]

Continue ReadingHere Are Your Play Pass Games for June, but Google Has Some Explaining To Do
While Google’s Play Pass always seems to offer at least the $4.99 in value that they charge you each month, we can’t help but feel it is aiming to do just that and no more. For the month of June, Google adds only a few games to the lineup valued at only $9. To make […]
Continue ReadingEmbr Stadia Review: Blazing a New Trail For Firefighter Games
As I said in my initial observations of the game, I’ve been waiting for a firefighting game to come to the market for a long time. Since I was a kid, in fact. What I didn’t realize until writing this review was that there have been many since that I either missed or deemed not […]
Continue ReadingTop 10 Games Your Kids Must Have on Their New Chromebooks in 2020
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 […]

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.

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 […]

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.
