Soapbox The Worst Thing About PS4 Firmware Update 4.50
Sammy reckons the new Notifications Menu sucks
We can all probably agree that PlayStation 4 firmware update v4.50 is a good update: the external hard drive support is welcome, the custom wallpapers feature is nice to have, and the addition of Boost Mode is great if you're a PS4 Pro owner. But there's one thing about the update that I can't wrap my...

Hands On Clicker Heroes on PS4 Is Going to Become a Problem

Not this again! A handful of you may know that this author's addiction to so-called "clicker" AdVenture Capitalist became such a problem that we had to delete it from the office PlayStation 4. But now there's a new danger in town: Clicker Heroes. The premise is much the same: you start out smashing the square button in order to deal damage on...
Guide 10 Ghost Recon: Wildlands Tips and Tricks for Rookie Agents
Help for conquering cartels
With Bolivia under the control of druglords, gangsters, and corrupt military factions, it's safe to say that Ghost Recon: Wildlands' South American setting isn't exactly a prime holiday destination. Thankfully, the game doesn't put you in the shoes of a hapless tourist, instead opting to make you the squad leader of a...

Earlier this year we launched our new Push Square layout and we couldn't be happier with it.

Soapbox Why We Need Horizon: Zero Dawn DLC
Sammy reckons Guerrilla's RPG is ripe for expansion
Well, this is awkward, isn't it? As gaming enthusiasts we collectively rail on companies for Season Passes and day one downloadable content – and rightly so. But if you'll indulge me for just a few minutes, I'm going to be a complete and utter hypocrite, because I kinda want Horizon: Zero Dawn...

Talking Point Are You Enjoying Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS4?
Totally Oseram
Even we're willing to admit that the build-up to Horizon: Zero Dawn has been intense. Sony sent us some branded biscuits today to celebrate the launch – that's a sign of how hard it's promoting the PlayStation 4 exclusive game. We're not going to lie, they were pretty tasty, too – but we digress. The release's now readily...

Floating balls, exploding balls, knights, and samurai
We've been saying this for a while now, but the PlayStation 4 really has got off to a great start in 2017. January was bursting at the seams with quality titles, and although February hasn't quite had the same level of success, it's still presented us with a slew of solid releases. Oh, and...
Hands On Turning Back Time with Yooka-Laylee on PS4
A Rare treat?
The employees over at Playtonic have been through a lot to say the least, many of them coming from backgrounds at the ever-celebrated developer Rare that was responsible for such timeless classics as Donkey Kong Country, GoldenEye 007, and Donkey Kong 64 to name a few. So there's a pedigree to these people to say the least, but have...
Hands On Tagging Tangos and Having a Great Time in the Ghost Recon: Wildlands PS4 Beta
Tango yankee
Ghost Recon: Wildlands had its open beta over the weekend, so before the tidal wave made up of March releases comes crashing down on us, we decided to sink a fair few hours into it. This isn't the finished game of course, but Ubisoft's open world shooter definitely shows promise - particularly when enjoyed with friends. Wildlands plays...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 157

Sammy Barker, Editor: When I'm not cleaning up the remaining quests...
Talking Point Which Free March 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
That time again
Surely it's not time for another PlayStation Plus update? Apparently, it is – but then we suppose February is the shortest month of the year.

Mads world
Do you remember last year when Metal Gear man Hideo Kojima toured the world with PlayStation 4 architect Mark Cerny searching for an engine to run Death Stranding on?

Guerrilla goodness
The jury was very much still out on Horizon: Zero Dawn until just a few days ago, but Guerrilla Games' open world role-playing release looks poised to become Sony's next big franchise.

Hands On Is Disc Jam the Next Rocket League?
Jammin'?
We're not entirely sure who's responsible for Windjammers' sudden surge in popularity, but we're thankful for it all the same. The Frisbee-based NeoGeo cult classic – which itself is set to get a PlayStation 4 port later this year – has inspired a string of copycats, with Disc Jam being the first to reach open beta on Sony's new-gen...
Video Raise Your Bow at Six Minutes of Horizon: Zero Dawn PS4 Gameplay
Quench your thirst
Horizon: Zero Dawn, then – what a brilliant debut! We have a joke at the office about releases being 'Sammy Games™', which usually means they're a bit girly and have a strange vibe. Going into it, this author didn't expect Guerrilla's latest and greatest to be one of those, but it absolutely is. It pulls together ideas from so...

And an update from Ben & Ben
So, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well that's for a number of reasons, the first of which you've probably already guessed. An embargo for the Prey previews gave us cause to hold back the show and allow me to chat freely about my experiences with the new title from Arkane and Bethesda. Another reason for the longer than...
Poll What Are Your Thoughts on Crash Bandicoot PS4 So Far?
Crashtastic or Crash and burn?
In case you missed yesterday's news, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy now has a confirmed release date; it's set to launch for PlayStation 4 on the 30th June.

Hands On Jumping at Shadows in Prey on PS4
A player chooses, the prey obeys
Welcome to the first-person perspective of Morgan Yu, the androgynous protagonist of Prey. Once you've assigned Morgan a gender (a choice with no experiential ramifications) you awake in Morgan's apartment, decorated in a style delicately coined 'neo-deco' that somehow feels like a familiar sight. It's here that Prey...

Sight life
We've busted our balls busting balls to bring you a Sniper Elite 4 review ahead of its release date, but you probably fancy a bit of video footage to go with it, right?

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 155
Back on schedule
After last week's dramatically delayed What Are You Playing, we're back with a relatively on-time issue now that our hardware issues have (hopefully) been resigned to the past. Is there anything worse than computer problems, readers? We wouldn't mind if Windows 10 actually revealed what was wrong; instead it kicks up vague error...
Talking Point Are 'Live Games' Really What You Want on PS4?
The future
Ubisoft insinuated this week that it cancelled production on a more "traditional" game in order to bolster the content pipeline for its suite of "live games" – titles like The Crew, Rainbow Six: Siege, and The Division which are being iterated upon with regularity.

Poll Has PS4 Pro's Boost Mode Tempted You to Upgrade?
Unleash the Beast
Sony tried its best to cover up PlayStation 4 Pro's new Boost Mode, but the Internet never sleeps on exciting features and it leaked. The added option essentially unlocks the supercharged system's additional horsepower for use in unpatched games, resulting in small but noticeable performance upgrades. While an NDA means that we c

Poll Has Your PS4 Started to Run a Little Slower Lately?
The great lag epidemic
Here's a thing: is your PlayStation 4 running slower than you remember?

Talk with your fists
The PlayStation 4 is no stranger to out-of-the-ordinary experiences, but something about Absolver caught our eye when it was first revealed last year.

"Can't you see I need time to think?"
Ahhh man, Horizon: Zero Dawn looks great, doesn't it? We've always had a soft spot for Guerrilla Games ever since the original Killzone days, and it's great to see the studio branch out and try something bold and ambitious. But we're worried because the studio's never managed to write a great story in its entire...

Panzer Dragoon meets Rez
Ninja Theory: the industry's most divisive developer. Many love the Cambridge-based company for its work on Heavenly Sword and Enslaved, while those with anime avatars hate it for the colour of Dante's hair. Either way, the studio generally makes good games, and Dexed represents its first foray into the wonderful world of...
