Hands On Playing Our Own Way in Dishonored 2 on PS4
Corvo, blimey?
It's been 15 years since the events of Dishonored, and we've left the city of Dunwall behind for the vast streets of Karnaca. Emily is now banished, removed from her throne by a powerful outsider, and it's our job to set things right as we're thrust back into Arkane's intricate level design, malfunctioning moral compass, and exquisite...

Soapbox Destiny's Grimoire Cards Are Pretty Awesome
A glimpse at what could have been
Destiny is famous for a lot of things, but a strong and structured storyline is most definitely not one of them. In fact, it's more renowned for telling you that it doesn't have time for a plot. I'm here to tell you that Destiny actually possesses potentially one of the deepest and most well thought out universes...

So, apparently one of the largest gaming conventions of the year took place last week?

Video I've Never Played... Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Part 4 & 5
Double trouble
So, I somehow managed to forget to share Episode 4 with you lovely bunch. It has been live on YouTube for a while now, but I definitely slacked on my job of letting you all know here, as such you've got yourselves a double dose of myself and our Push Square Podcast co-host, Mr Ben Potter, playing through the infamous Uncharted:

We're back again, pushing ever-further into my correctional regime of Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, fixing the oversight secret I've held...
Video I've Never Played... Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - Part 2
Perilous platforming
So the peer pressure finally got to me and I set off upon my Uncharted adventure last week, with my fake moustache wearing Push Square Podcast co-host Ben Potter as trusty my guide. We've returned this week to continue correcting my – apparently massive – PlayStation wrong and push further forward wit

Podcast Episode 2 - The Return
Guess who's back?
So, a little over a week ago, Ben Potter and myself posted the very first Push Square Podcast, which you can listen to here if you haven't already.

Hands On Does Homefront PS4's Co-Op Represent a Revolution?
Derelict teamwork
This game has a past that is not one of secrecy but of an incredibly rocky and public road to completion. Homefront: The Revolution has been tossed between developers like an expensive game of hot potato but it's somehow found light at the end of the tunnel with a release window finally locked in. In fact, it's so close that we...
Review Phineas and Ferb: Day of Doofenshmirtz (PS Vita)
When are they going back to school?
There's a hundred and four days of… You know the drill. Two cheeky lads try and make the best out of their seemingly eternal summer vacation by producing eccentric contraptions and inventions from thin air, only for a crazed scientist – the titular Dr. Doofenshmirtz – to get involved. Oh, and their pet...
Review Toy Soldiers: War Chest (PS4)
I love the smell of polyurethane in the morning
Occasionally there comes a game that sounds like the next big hit on paper but crumples into a steaming heap when in practice. Enter Toy Soldiers: War Chest, a game that pits the likes of the Care Bears against the armies of Castle Grey Skull in this tower defense escapade that takes a fundamentally...
Review LEGO Jurassic World (PS4)
LEGOsaurus
These days, if a brand finds itself considered pop-culture then there are two eventualities that are almost a certainty. Firstly, the inevitable onslaught of Funko Pop Vinyl figurines that casts every single character in cute and irritatingly adorable plastic models. Secondly, a LEGO game, incidentally involving irritatingly adorable...
Review Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark (PlayStation 4)
Dead and alive
Brandishing a rather fetching title, Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark (Schrödinger's, henceforth) introduces itself as somewhat of a novel addition to the 2D platforming realm, boasting eccentric stylised graphics and an intriguingly educational premise. Once you dig deeper than these cosmetic oddities, however,...
