News Sony's Still Got Plenty More To Announce
You'd be forgiven for thinking that last week's GamesCom event might mark the end of a three-four month long announcement bombardment from Sony -- but while you'd be forgiven, you'd also be wrong

Feature What A Great Week For PlayStation -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I've got absolutely nothing to moan about
This has been an excellent week for the PlayStation brand; so good, in fact, that even reports of a jailbreak weren't able to subdue the mood. I predicted before GamesCom that it would be a low-key show - but Sony's found their stomping ground. Last year Sony dominated the European event with the headline...

Metal Gear Solid: Rising is a different type of Metal Gear game
It replaces seasoned protagonist Snake with Raiden, and switches tranquilizers for samurai swords. When all's said and done though, it is still a Metal Gear game. And that means that the stealth elements will remain in tact. In fact, according to Rising's producer, you'll be able to...
News DJ Hero 2 Doubles Up The "D-D-D-D-Dictionary" Button This October
In high school we used to have these keyboards with a "Dictionary" mode on them
Nobody really remembers what the button did because we were all too busy pressing it multiple times to notice. Y'see, the button used to have a voice sample attached to it, which made for some fantastic rhythmic manipulation: "D-D-D-D-D-D-Dict-D-Dictionary",...

Review Fly Fu (PlayStation Minis)
There's a bizarre and creepy charm to Fly Fu's presentation, but repetitive gameplay takes much of the sheen off the game's novelty

News That New Atlus Game, Catherine, Is WEIRD!
We thought the concept art that dropped out of this week's Famitsu for Atlus' new PS3 project, Catherine, looked a bit strange

GamesCom 2010 Gran Turismo 5 Injects Some Car-PG, Gets B-Spec Campaign
We all know about Gran Turismo's A-Spec career path
It's the driving simulator portion of the game, the section where you pick a car and race it. But what of Gran Turismo 5's new B-Spec mode? It's basically a "racing simulation RPG". In B-Spec you are not the driver, but are the voice in the driver's ear. You watch races from the...

GamesCom 2010 LittleBigPlanet 2's Music Sequencer Is Incredible
Before we did this PushSquare lark, we used to lock ourselves in dark rooms with Cubase and Reason trying to create the perfect pop-song

One of the most exciting things about the PlayStation Move is the ease with which it can be implemented into games
