Cloud Streaming officially arrives on PlayStation Portal today
3+ week, 3+ day ago (244+ words) Stream select PS5 games directly on your PS Portal with PlayStation Plus Premium. Super exited about this update. This will definitely increase playtime with my Portal. shame you have to pay a substantial yearly fee to be able to access these features. The Portal is really coming into its own. Definitely a better device than it was at launch. I've been enjoying the beta for this over the last couple of months. Nice to see it is official. I found playing PS2 games was a bit confusing as you have to use the touch screen to be the start and select, but you learn the right areas to touch to get the proper response. The legal dispute between Epic Games and Google has been going on for quite a while, but it could be close to a solution. "The Game Music Foundation…...
Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded review
3+ week, 2+ day ago (1102+ words) A boon for fight pad lovers, but not a controller for the mainstream. Stream select PS5 games directly on your PS Portal with PlayStation Plus Premium. Super exited about this update. This will definitely increase playtime with my Portal. To be honest just at home haha. The TV in the living died last week so wife and kids have been watching their shows in the loft where I have my systems hooked up. Now, I can play games from my library while the TV is occupied. Hoping to get a good deal during black Friday. Main usage of the Portal is in-home for most users. Just like how some huge majority of Switch owners play in handheld mode at home. For example, I was just watching DanDaDan on my television while playing Unicorn Overlord on my Portal. :D shame you have…...
The Best VR Dance & Rhythm Games for Meta Quest and PSVR 2
1+ week, 5+ day ago (266+ words) The Meta Quest and PSVR 2 platforms host a number of great dancing and rhythm games, but which are best for your play time? With more and more wireless headsets coming to market, the PSVR2 may look like a tethered throwback, but here's why it still matters. Meh. My best experience with my PSVR2 since I bought it at launch" HL Alyx, through the PC adapter. Sony destroyed it in less time than it took them to develop it. Biggest waste of money ever. It absolutely crushed the momentum of VR. Nah. HL Alyx is amazing and PSVR2 is an amazing way to play it but I'd put a few native games up there with it. RE8, RE4R GT7 and Red Matter 2. Sony didn't kill it and are still helping it get better. The lack of new games for the headset is what's got me, seeing games…...
3+ week, 4+ day ago (127+ words) The ROG Xbox Ally X enhances the original with improved ergonomics, battery life, and performance, ideal for handheld gaming. Full review. Older Konami and Nintendo patents call the newly granted patent into question. Joel writes: "Abxylute will launch its first PC handheld on Kickstarter later this month, and I cannot believe that this thing is finally landing. The 3D One was originally announced as a partnership between Intel and Tencent, the Chinese monolith with investments everywhere. That was last November." It's a Retroid Pocket Flip 2, not a SouljaGame Flip. Can't exactly complain when China competes with itself and doesn't respect IP. So yet more junk loaded with ROMs. I'd rather add games to my SNES or NES mini least there is quality behind those two devices....

2+ week, 6+ day ago (1097+ words) I primarily used the GameSir G7 Pro on PC, and it quickly became my daily driver. So, what exactly makes it so special and a massive upgrade over most of the competition? A boon for fight pad lovers, but not a controller for the mainstream.

Linux PC Gaming Is On The Rise While Windows Trips Over Itself
1+ week, 6+ day ago (564+ words) Linux PC gaming is more of a threat to Windows gaming, now more than ever and yet, Microsoft continues to fumble the ball, while Valve is leading the Linux PC gaming charge. I only use a Steam Deck OLED for gaming so I suppose I'm apart of those numbers, lol Meh.. I and many others still need Windows for plenty of other apps that I like to use as a hobby, no chance I would ever ditch it unless a direct replacement comes along. If talking gaming only, maybe? It's not for me. TG writes: In a sea of VR fitness apps, does the Quest-exclusive Haymaker VR powerhouse pack enough punch to justify the price tag?
