Your Chromecast is about to be a little more like Amazon Fire TV. The streaming dongle is getting a whole slew of family-friendly games.
The games are coming in the form of a bunch of new apps you control from your phone or tablet. They include a bunch of titles you already know and love, like Wheel of Fortune, Monopoly Dash, Scrabble Blitz, and Connect Four Quads. Your childhood lives on via HDMI port.
It’s also worth mentioning that Chromecast is getting both Showtime Anytime and Starz apps today. But mostly, the Chromecast just landed on Boardwalk with a whole batch of new games. [TechCrunch]
