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 […]

As Chrome OS has evolved, the gaming scene has come along with it. With game streaming, web games, Android games, and upcoming Steam game support, Chromebooks are becoming a go-to place for casual gamers. As it evolves, we're tracking along with that development and you can see it all here on Chrome Unboxed.
Top 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 […]
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 […]
Continue ReadingTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 remaster would be so rad on Stadia
A couple of weeks ago, Activision announced the first two Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games were getting remastered and were set to release on September 4th, 2020. Like many 20-something-year-olds, I was ecstatic and proceeded to watch the trailer multiple times in a row with my mouth wide open, remembering the parks, skaters, and yes, […]
Continue ReadingDescend into the Dark Heart of Skyrim. The Elder Scrolls Online Greymoor Gets Stadia Release Date
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 […]

Continue ReadingGrab This Chaotic Metroidvania Sundered: Eldritch Edition on Stadia Now
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 ReadingWhy I’m beyond excited for PGA Tour 2K21 on Stadia
Here’s the thing: about 15 years ago me and some of my friends (Gabriel is included, here) spent far too much time getting ridiculously good at Tiger Woods PGA Tour Golf on the Nintendo GameCube. I can vividly remember shooting in the high 50’s on a regular basis, surrounded by snacks and watching the wee […]
