Controversial as it may have been in some circles, there's no denying The Last of Us Part II is among the finest games ever put out by Naughty Dog. Ellie and Abby's story may not be everyone's cup of tea, but no one can deny that the second entry in the series greatly enhances its predecessor's formula, bringing it to extreme heights. These extreme heights have possibly become even higher in The Last of Us Part II Remastered. While the base game hasn't changed at all, it's the No Return roguelite mode that shows how amazing the gameplay of the […]
A new PlayStation 5 DualSense controller PC app called PCXSense is now available for download, allowing users to get more out of the controller in PC games and emulators. The app, whose beta release can be downloaded from Github, allows users to do things not normally possible even with official support, such as the ability to tweak trigger sensibility and behavior in emulators like Yuzu, Cemu, and Dolphin, and create custom adaptive trigger profiles and macros. While several games support the controller natively on PC, not too many come with adaptive triggers support, so this app will allow users to […]

The PlayStation Portal system made it possible for users to enjoy PlayStation 5 games away from the console, but requiring an internet connection to work, it cannot compare to a proper portable system, such as a custom version of the console showcased in a video shared online today. DIY Perks, who also built a proper slim edition of the console last year, created the world's first PlayStation 5: Tablet Edition, truly making Sony's current generation console portable, whose creation was documented in the video below. The end results are phenomenal, making us wish Sony would really release a similar system. […]
