Push Rewind Child of Light, Call of Duty, and Project Beast
Feeling hella good
Similarly to a No Doubt bassline, this week’s PlayStation coverage has left us bobbing our heads like the Churchill Dog. Yes, we’re a little late with this latest edition of Push Rewind, but cut us some slack – today was a public holiday in the UK, after all. Still, with stories spanning new PlayStati

News Forget Minecraft, Indie Puzzler MouseCraft Hits PS4, PS3, and Vita on 8th July
Modest mouse
We know that Sony said that it would be putting a bigger focus on indies, but we didn't think that it'd deliver on that promise in such a big way. Indeed, it seems that we can't go a day without another announcement of a new title making its way to the Japanese giant's hardware. And while we certainly appreciate the flood of content,...
News Wait, Why Does The Last of Us' Ellie Look All Grown Up?

A place in the sun
Summertime is often a period where people like to make memories.

News Heartless Americans Thought Tokyo Jungle Was Woof
Doggy doo
Tokyo Jungle is the most bafflingly barmy game to grace any console over the past five years. Outpacing even Octodad: Dadliest Catch in the odd department, the ridiculous roguelike sees you assume the role of a variety of animals, as you attempt to survive in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. However, while we utterly adored the animal centric...

News Extend Your PS4 Controller's Battery Life with the Nyko Power Pak on 26th May
The waiting game
The PlayStation 4 controller has a pretty good chunk of battery life, usually clocking in at about seven or eight hours. However, if you're anything like this reporter, you probably constantly forget to charge the sleek piece of machinery, and are left trying to negotiate its criminally short connection cord.

Would you kindly port this?
The original BioShock was released seven years ago. That's an astonishing statistic that makes us feel old, but Rapture still holds up well regardless.
