Rocknrolla
While the first episode of the new Push Play series focused on interesting soundtracks released in April, the follow-up issue is going to deal with releases from May.

Video How the Feck Do You Play Farpoint with a DualShock 4?
Not a lot changes, actually
One of Farpoint’s biggest selling points is, of course, the PlayStation VR Aim Controller.

Well, the answer is that you can...

News PlayStation VR Exclusive Farpoint Travels to a Mad, Mad World
Sony's sci-fi shooter seems much deeper than expected
We've played Farpoint a fair few times now and really enjoyed the PlayStation VR exclusive shooter, but we never really expected it to have much in the way of story. This new trailer has exceeded our expectations, then, as it sets the scene on a dangerous journey to a different planet. It's…...
News Farpoint's Full Experience Will Cost You a Pretty Penny
Start saving
From what we've played, PlayStation VR FPS Farpoint is pretty awesome – but we always felt that Sony needed to find a way to bundle the title with the PlayStation VR Aim Controller for the price of a standard retail game. Unfortunately, it's failed. While the game will cost £49.99/$49.99 without the peripheral, you'll need to pay...
