Utilizing the same sort of technology that enables the feature on the PlayStation Vita, Sony’s upcoming Xperia Z3 phones and compact tablets will have the ability to stream PlayStation 4 games over Wi-Fi networks.

The Golden PS1 Is A Sony Fanboy’s Dream

Remember that goldenPS1 that was given out as a VIP gift at E3? A Kotaku reader managed to get one of his own, and found that while it doesn’t play games, it still does something pretty cool. While it has all the internals of a PS1 (you can see a pic below), perhaps just for…

Getting Up Close with Bloodborne’s Combat

I would never say I was into horror games – I managed about 90 seconds of a YouTube playthrough of P.T. before tapping out, and even the cover art for The Evil Within is a bit much for me – but FROM’s Souls series is the exception to the rule. This post originally appeared on…
