Blacklight: Tango Down – When Nostalgia Calls Back!

Blacklight: Tango Down is a First Person Shooter set in a dystopian future in which two opposing enemies, The Order and the Blacklight Special Forces, are battling it out to bring peace and security to their world. This sounds like your typical “generic sci-fi shooter”, but the developers over at Zombie have packed a lot into this downloadable game. Read on to see if it’s enough to warrant your attention.

Blacklight really does have a lot to offer. There are 12 different maps to battle it out online, as well as a cooperative “Black Ops mode” in which you and up to three other friends can work your way through waves of enemies towards the end of each level. There is no single player mode, and no real story to the game, but it doesn’t need any of that. With the focus on multiplayer, Blacklight will keep you busy for a long time to come.

The controls are tight and familiar, and veterans of Call of Duty should be able to jump right in. You can sprint, melee, aim down the sights and shoot just as you would expect. One major difference is the incorporation of the Hyper Reality Visor (HRV), which allows you to see all nearby enemies, allies, and Read More

Is it possible to play PS5 & PS4 games on a PC Windows or Macbook?

In today’s rapid growing world of technology, it’s a bit challenging activity to stay updated and prepared for all kind of new gadgets and applications which are getting released on a daily basis.
Same situation applies to gaming niche. We have many different consoles of all types, made by different brands & companies. Aside from consoles, massive percentage of gamers use their personal computers, laptops and Macbooks to play their favorite video games.

In recent years, because of advancement in producing smaller hardware parts which are still powerful in specifications (CPU and GPU units) even laptops started becoming “powerful” enough to be able to run high-end demanding games. However, giant tech names of gaming consoles, such as Sony, Nintendo and others still keep their customers who are loyal to console gaming.
This situation applies to PlayStation console. With their latest and currently trending PS5 console, which still keeps some of gaming titles as their exclusive games, produced for PS5 only, it makes and forces gamers to buy and own PlayStation 5 console if they want to run their desired PS5-exclusive game.
Examples of such games are Ghost of Yotei, Marvel’s Wolverine (still in development mode), Horizon Zero Dawn remastered, Astro’s Playroom and many other exclusive titles.

There are, however, many gamers who prefer playing on their PC only, and console gaming is just not their style, or some of them unfortunately cannot afford themself a PS5 to game on it, especially those gamers living in third world countries. Reasons vary.

Luckily, there is a way to run PlayStation 5 console games on a PC, and even those games released for older Sony’s consoles too. The solution to do so i a newly released software for Windows and macOS operating systems called PS5Emux, which is a PS5 emulator application developed just for this reason – to help PC players to play their favorite PS5 gaming titles on desktop and laptop computers!

The PS5Emux developers made their emulator to adapt its running game performance according to a PC’s hardware specs which is running it. Means that a certain game will have different graphics quality and FPS displayed when run on PCs with different GPUs and CPUs. In a scenario if a PC1 has stronger hardware specs – game’s GFX details and performance will be looking better than on PC2, which has a weaker Read More

Codemasters’ DiRT 2 DLC is… Disappointing!

Back in February of this year, developer Codemasters made it public knowledge that multiple DLC packs would be released for Colin McRae: Dirt 2 shortly after the game’s launch. As explained by Senior Executive Producer Gavin Raeburn, the said DLC would allow players to personalise and augment the boxed game – a vague and intriguing statement.

Sure enough, two DLC packs labelled ’Trust Fund’ and ’Access All Areas’ are alluded to (but greyed-out) under downloadable content in the Extras segment of DiRT 2’s menu interface. Yesterday, this content became available on the US PlayStation Store – don’t worry Europe, you’re not missing anything…

The US PlayStation Blog details the new content:

DiRT 2 Trust Fund ($4.99)
