News Merry Christmas From Everyone At PushSquare.com!
It's Christmas
No seriously it is. Ok, it's not. We're writing this on a dismal Sunday afternoon sometime in early December. Consider this a message from our future-self or something. Did we even say that right? Goodness knows. All we know is that this post will get published on Christmas morning, and we do genuinely wish you all a very Merry...

Review Marvel Pinball (PlayStation 3)
Marvel Pinball's visual effects and gameplay frills are supported by a strong physics core and generally good table design
Zen Pinball was one of our most played PlayStation Network titles of 2009, so it was with some anticipation we got thrift of Zen Studios' impending Marvel Pinball — a stand-alone catalogue of four new Marvel themed tables...
News Merry Christmas from Movemodo!
Season's greetings to all
It's that time of year again when we manage to tear ourselves from our computers just long enough to sit through a massive Christmas dinner with the family and then endless repeats of the same TV shows we watched last year, but that's the magic of Christmas. We'll be taking a short break over the Christmas period, but we'll...

News Beat Sketcher Team's Christmas Video is Full of Cheer
Spreading the joy
Beat Sketcher hit the PlayStation Store a few weeks ago, so it's no surprise that some talented users have already created some fantastic videos using the programme, but we doubt any will be able to top this festive masterpiece from the game's audio director Ichiro Ebisu. Performing a live rendition of Joy to the World with...

News Qriocity Makes Stealth Appearance On European PlayStation 3s
Ignore the dreadful name and Sony might be onto something with Qriocity
The super-slick cloud based streaming service magically appeared on European PlayStation 3s last night, promising on-demand audio streaming for a small fee. The service — which is accessible from a range of Sony products including Bravias, VAIOs and Blu-ray players —...
Around this time last year everyone was hyped for the somewhat disappointing Split/Second
The game's cinematic take on arcade racing pulled everyone in and delivered a unique but flawed experience when it launched earlier this year. MotorStorm Apocalypse blows everything about Split/Second away. Last year we were comparing Split/Second to Michael...
News "Offensive" PlayStation Move Advertisement Banned For Being "Too Violent"
"Move into the fight" is the tag-line for Sony's print The Fight: Lights Out campaign

Review A Space Shooter For Two Bucks! (PlayStation Minis)
Two Bucks?
Frima's super self-aware A Space Shooter For Two Bucks hits all the right notes with smooth, space-blaster gameplay, a solid progression system and some comical, if cliche, dialogue. Frima's latest PlayStation Mini is probably the best they've released, but we can't help but feel like the game's title does it a disservice. Sure, the...
News PlayStation Plus Subscribers, Get Your Free MAG Trial Now
Well worth a shot
Online shooter MAG is already available cheaply in the Greatest Hits range, but if you're still not convinced it's worth the money then perhaps a PlayStation Plus-exclusive free game trial will help twist your arm.

News Blue Toad Murder Files Adopts PlayStation Move Support
Here's an obvious marriage: Relentless' oddball detective soap opera, Blue Toad Murder Files, is to get PlayStation Move support in way of a patch
The motion support will add pointer controls to the game making its pesky puzzles all the more intuitive to solve. As an added festive treat, Relentless has reduced the entire season's value to £9.99 /...

News US PlayStation Plus Subscribers Net Unlimited MAG Full-Game Trial
Here's a novel way of killing three birds with one stone: MAG's set to get an unlimited full-game trial for US PlayStation Plus subscribers this week
The trial will allow players to experience MAG fully, but will cap progress at level eight. This is actually the best idea ever. Why? It serves three purposes: keeps MAG's servers populated with fresh...
News EA: PlayStation Brand Stronger Than XBOX On A Global Basis
EA's John Riccitiello believes that while Microsoft's XBOX has a brand advantage in the US, Sony's PlayStation platform has an "almost-impossible-to-supersede" advantage on the global stage

News SCEE Deploys Enormous Christmas Sale On European PlayStation Store
It's Christmas -- or so the neighbours' irritatingly chirpy festive lights are trying to tell us
Of course, we all know that the best thing about Christmas (aside from it being over) are the ridiculous sales. When else can you get Naughty Bear for £3.99 from GAME? (Don't do it.) Digital sales are probably the best kind because there's no physical...

Isn't it bizarre how patching can change games? For example, the MAG we reviewed in January is no longer the same game
Likewise PlayStation Home, the whole things changed yo. So while Gran Turismo 5 sits looking sulkily at its respectable Metacritic score of 84, Polyphony Digital's been busy beavering away on new features that could easily brings...

Marvel vs
Capcom is cool and all</a>, but your Grandad doesn't know how to play that. LittleBigPlanet 2 is a family game after all. Maybe he knows how to play pool instead?
