Reaction Sony Saves E3 2016 with Super Strong PS4 Exclusives
All killer, no filler
Once upon a time, we used to moan about Sony's inability to pace E3 pressers.

Soul searcher
A bizarre pre-release alpha demo for samurai Souls clone Nioh launched on the PlayStation 4 this week, and given that it's one of the rare releases that's piqued both Sammy and Ramsey's attention, we figured that we'd run a dual impressions article on the upcoming Koei Tecmo exclusive.

Feature 5 Things We Know About Murderous PS4 RPG Vampyr
London's bleeding
We first heard about Vampyr back at the beginning of last year, and truth be told, we've heard bugger all since. However, thanks to a glut of new information that's spread across the web like an outbreak of vampirism, we've finally got our hands on some semi-decent details. We're thankful, too, because French developer DONTNOD's...
Talking Point Do You Fast Travel in Open World Games?
Quick trip or epic voyage
There are those that fast travel, and those that don't. Raised voices broke out in Push Square Towers this week when Robert Ramsey revealed that he walks everywhere in Fallout 4.

So, in what we...

Hype merchants
2016 is shaping up to be a major year for the PlayStation 4, and while we can't wait to get our grubby mitts on many of the system's upcoming titles, we thought that we'd take this opportunity to think about potential games that haven't been officially announced yet.

Did the Japanese giant deliver?
Sony's only just getting started with its PlayStation Experience event, but the keynote is the clear highlight for those not in attendance at the show.

Opinion We're So Sick of Saving the Bloody World
Holding out for a hero
Hands up if you've got a headache from saving the world yet again? Yeah, us too. One pet peeve that's had Push Square Towers irritatedly animated over the past few weeks is the fact that every single video game in existence seems to feel the need to go big. Well, we're tired of preventing the apocalypse, and we'd like to see...
