It’s another year, which means another line-up of Pixel phones. Last year, I think Google really went conservative on the various phone features and released a phone that wasn’t willing – and rightfully so in my opinion – to compete with the biggest and best on the market. This year we are seeing a slight price increase on both phones, but also a host of brand new features. Let’s take a look at what Google is promising with the Google…

I was one of the first to download, but something about Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis just hasn’t clicked.  Some of you will know that I’m a Final Fantasy 7 superfan. This remake-but-not was seemingly made for me and me alone. And yet in translation to a gacha mobile game, it has lost some of its soul. The gang are all there, and they look great. And the story beats are pretty well represented too, even if you’re racing through…

When it comes to everyday entertainment, one of the most popular formats is mobile gaming. Players love using a smartphone or tablet to explore games of all types. Word games, action games, puzzles, even online casino games can be played with a mobile device. Regarding the age-old question of Android vs. Apple, most players opt for Androids for online gaming. Why? Let’s take a look below. Free or Inexpensive  Android is a top player choice as it offers free or…

My wife and I have been loving Google products for the last half decade, and have owned most Google home products that were released. We’ve looked at and still love our Google Nest Hub Max, our Google Home devices (wince discontinued), wifi setup and more. Google has had tablets in the past, and most have failed in comparison to the giant of the industry, the Apple iPad. With the brand new Pixel Tablet, Google is actually tackling tablet use in…

My wife has never played a lot of video games. But every night she settles in with her iPhone for a few minutes and announces it is officially “Toy Blast” time. We all know not to bother her as she tries to advance a few more levels. By last count, she was close to level 8,000. The iPhone is one of the greatest inventions of our time. It helps us work, helps us communicate, and it lets us play what…

The a-series of the Pixel phone line-up has finally landed around the world, and those who enjoy many premium Google phone features at a discounted price are going to be very excited. This year, Google has opted for even less disparity between the Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7a, and with only (MSRP) $200.00 separating the two at retail in Canada, I wondered which provided the better value. Let’s dive into the Pixel 7a and see how it…

Once, it was only possible to play games on a large computer. It needed a lot of space and plenty of equipment to make the gaming setup one that could work well. Today, although these larger setups are still popular and can often be found in gamers’ homes, mobile games are becoming more and more popular. They might not take over from the traditional way of gaming on a PC or console, but they are definitely competing well. Mobile games…

There’s only one thing you can say for certain about the current mobile phone gaming market: the stores are pretty locked in. It’s Google Play or it’s Apple’s App Store. Microsoft’s plans for a third alternative is going to have an uphill struggle. This has slowly been coming out over the course of the company’s purchase of Activision. One of the big reasons for the purchase – on top of Call of Duty and hundreds of other Game Pass friendly…

It was ten years ago that the first series of Telltale’s The Walking Dead changed how we think about those kinds of video games. And maybe all video games. Two seasons into the TV series, fans found a new way of looking at the fictional Walker-fied universe – but it didn’t stop there. Thanks to being available on every single device in existence, as well as the episodic format, it quickly spread to a more casual audience. It wasn’t the…
