Sony reportedly working on new PlayStation handheld for PS5 Remote Play - Earlier this week, rumors claimed that Sony was creating new PlayStation hardware, separate from the upcoming PS5 revision and rumored PS5 Pro. It was quickly theorized that this could be a new handheld, like a PS Vita 2. Now, sources have clarified that Sony is working on a dedicated Remote Play device, rather than a native-gaming handheld. - Article by KitGuru

Asus' first PC Handheld Has Twice the Performance of a Steam Deck - A handheld gaming PC from Asus' ROG (Republic of Gamers) brand seemed like an April Fools' joke when it was "announced" over the weekend, but apparently, the company is serious.

Andrew Mayfield hosts Video Game Tango, a space where the serious and the silly sides of gaming collide. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair with friends who are just as passionate about the latest releases as they are about digging up obscure titles from decades past. The conversation flows from genuine analysis to lighthearted jokes, never taking itself too seriously even when diving into detailed news or industry shifts. You’ll find a refreshing mix here: thoughtful discussion on game design one moment, followed by tangents of pure comedic banter the next, all grounded in a real love for the medium. This podcast captures the leisure of gaming itself-that perfect blend of focused interest and relaxed fun. Tune in for a consistently engaging listen that treats video games as both art and playground, delivered with Andrew’s distinctive voice and a welcoming, conversational tone. It’s the kind of show that makes even the most niche gaming topic feel accessible and entertaining, perfect for your commute or while you’re taking a break from the controller.
