All articles →The Browser Game Renaissance and What It Means for Players
Browser games have quietly entered a new golden age. Better HTML5 capabilities, smarter monetisation, and a generation of designers raised on Flash are reshaping the format.
Why Our Star Ratings Are Spread Across the Whole Scale
Most review sites cluster their ratings near the top. Stack Stream does not. This article explains why we use the full star scale and what that means for trust.
How Browser Games Monetise Without Becoming Pay-to-Win

About AJ Arcade
Stack Stream is small on purpose. We publish browser-playable HTML5 games that one of us has actually played through, and then we write about them. Hundreds of titles, not thousands. We’d rather you find one game you like than scroll past twenty you don’t.
Three reviewers cover the site between them. Nilima Joshi handles puzzle and .io. Bruno Conti covers racing and shooters. Maeve Donovan writes arcade, sports, and adventure. Each has a byline and a profile page so you can see what else they’ve covered, plus an email address if you want to argue with a verdict.
Editorial standards and full reviewer credentials live on the About page. Corrections or developer responses go through the contact page and we usually answer within a business day.
