Recent code commits to the Chromium Gerrit suggest that Google is working on adding a Games Hub to Google Chrome for Android. Read on to know more!
More often than I would like to admit, I have spent several frustrating minutes in front of my browser with the Chrome Dino game.

Perhaps Google has seen my frustration at being unable to master this simple game, as the company appears to be on track to add a Games Hub to Google Chrome.

Here's Super Mario Galaxy running at 1080p on the Nvidia Shield TV
You can technically run Super Mario Galaxy at 1080p on the Nvidia Shield TV, come check it out here and let us know what you think!
The Nvidia Shield TV is an Android TV device powered by the Nvidia Tegra X1 system-on-chip which also happens to power the Nintendo Switch game console. Nintendo partnered with Nvidia to release a handful of Nintendo Wii and Nintendo GameCube games on the Nvidia Shield TV, but these games are only accessible if you live in China. It turns out that the Wii and GameCube games on the Shield TV may actually be actually running on an emulator which is exciting both for Nintendo Switch and Shield TV fans alike. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get access to these game titles, but EuroGamer managed to do some testing on Super Mario Galaxy. It runs at 1080p surprisingly well on the device, which you can check out below.
You may recall that a few weeks ago, we talked about a rather interesting take on everyone's favorite number game addiction, 2048. But while the previously covered version offered great game play thanks to its selectable grid sizes, it was admittedly a bit lacking on the UI front. Now, XDA Senior Member sylsau has published his own take on the number-based puzzler, offering quite a bit of polish that is lacking in most of the other 2048 variants available.
Gaming is a part of life of almost every Android enthusiast. But many of new titles are hitting the market have one thing in common: They are written and optimized for new devices with modern architectures and instruction sets. Unfortunately, not every XDA member has powerful device like a Nexus 5 or Xperia Z Ultra.
Oh, our beloved childhood memories! Who out here (son/daughter of the 80's and early 90's) doesn't remember the early beginnings of our current electronic companions? One of the (by far) most memorable devices of all time came from the heart of no other than Japan (not really a surprise there). The invention of a small key chain-sized electronic pal turned the world upside down, and began an era in which we will undoubtedly end up hooked up to machines à la The Matrix. The Tamagotchi was a fun first step. The little game essentially was like having an electronic pet that you need to care for in real time. When it was hungry, you needed to fed it; when it was sick, you needed to heal it with medicine; and when it wanted to play... well, you played with it. There have been some attempts in the past to recreate this in other Android apps, but XDA Forum Member Shelly22 brings forth one that is more "in your face."
Android (and mobile gaming as a whole) has undergone an incredible evolution over the last decade or so. Due to the sheer ingenuity of developers and tons of imagination, coupled with the wonders of modern technology, several games have been successfully taken from the conceptual phase to the playable craze that they currently are. One such example is the ever fun concept of word games. Before the times of handheld devices, these brain twisting, knowledge testing, hair pulling games were around in other shapes or forms such as crossword puzzles, letter soup, matching, scrabble, and many more. As stated before, evolution seems to have taken place in this refined and classic area of gaming and has taken the word game to a new level.
We've all played those games where you're forced to wait around to let a particular scenario play out, whether it is waiting for crops to grow in farming games, or cities to grow in simulation games. And we've all just wanted to press an imaginary "fast forward" button in order to bypass these long delays.
