Review Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn (PlayStation 3)
"Amuro, I'm doing something extremely wicked"
With the indie gaming boom and so many big publishers trying their hands at projects that are somewhat different from the norm, it can be surprisingly refreshing to play something as single-minded as Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn. There are no immediate details to ponder – you just climb into a...

Review Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (PlayStation 4)
Less than meets the eye
Even the emotionless Galvatron would be saddened to see a generation of teenagers brought up on Michael Bay’s visually offensive and canon destroying Transformers flicks. Fortunately for veterans, there’s been a shining light among the countless explosions and Megan Fox pouting that has sought to preserve the authenticity...

Matters of Import Shining a Light on PS Vita's htoL#NiQ -Hotaru no Nikki-
Yes, that really is the title
Nippon Ichi, perhaps best known for its Disgaea role-playing game series, has recently released a new PlayStation Vita game in Japan that’s very different from its usual output. htoL#NiQ is a puzzle game, and is best – or perhaps most lazily – described as Japan's answer to monochrome indie die-lots-‘em-up...
Review Enemy Front (PlayStation 3)
War crime
Set during the turbulent times of World War II, Enemy Front is the latest in a long line of first-person shooters to depict the horrors of one of history’s most fierce conflicts. Depicting the tale of a journalist named Robert Hawkins, you’ll team up with the American resistance as part of an effort to put an end to the Nazis once and...
News Little Red Riding Hood Loses Her Marbles on PS4 Next Year
Beware of the big bad Woolfe
If you go out in the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise – a crazed Little Red Riding Hood gunning for your blood. Belgian indie GRiN – not to be confused with defunct Swedish studio, er, GRIN – has confirmed that strange side-scroller Woolfe: The Redhood Diaries will release on the PlayStation 4 in 2015...
Out This Week Guacamelee! PS4, Ratchet & Clank HD Vita, and More
Super turbo championship edition
Well, isn’t that just typical? Two weeks ago, this editor apologised for the infrequency of the ‘Out This Week’ feature, adding that it will be published every Monday from now on. Of course, then said scribe swanned off on holiday, forgetting to prepare an edition of our regular release date report before...
News Bungie Blows a Hole in Destiny's Out of This World Production Budget
Billion dollar mystery
How much has upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 shooter Destiny cost to make? We’re still no closer to knowing the truth, as Bungie has shot down reports claiming that the company has splashed out $500 million in order to produce the sci-fi loot-a-thon. That would make it the most expensive game ever made, but it...
News The Swapper Will Be Invading All of Your Sony Consoles This Summer
Clones 'R' Us
Our wallets love cross-buy titles. Not only can you play them on the go, but if you have yet to make the transition to the PlayStation 4, you won't find yourself having to shell out a few months later. We suppose that there's always a worry that the next-gen version may have been downgraded to meet its less powerful siblings, but the...
News Freedom Wars' English Story Trailer Will Leave You With a Raised Eyebrow
Living is a crime
If you didn't quite find yourself captivated by last week's 12 minutes of Japanese Freedom Wars gameplay, perhaps this three minute English trailer will do the trick. Thanks to the magic of subtitles, you can finally wrap your head around the handheld title's seemingly bonkers plot. Focusing on the release's cast of colourful...
Feature Seven Dormant Sports Series That Should Come Out of Retirement on PS4
Let's get sweaty
With both the World Cup and Wimbledon in full swing, conversation here at Push Square Towers has focused on old sporting favourites for a few days now. We’re not referring to veterans such as Pele and Martina Navratilova, of course, but classic video game franchises that have prompted more than a few shiny brows over the years –...
News There'll Soon Be a New Yakuza Game for You to Lust Over
Don't hold your breath for a Western release
SEGA’s soap opera-esque role playing series Yakuza had a good run in the West for a while, but now we’re quickly falling behind. Despite localisations being borderline demanded by brand fans, neither Yakuza 5 nor its PlayStation 4 successor Yakuza Ishin have released overseas yet. That means that you...

Destiny can wait
Strategic RPG Natural Doctrine has been on our radar for many moons now, so we're happy to learn that it finally has a concrete western release date.

News UK Sales Charts: Sniper Elite III Is Your Number One with a Bullet
On target
EA Sports UFC is going down, down in an earlier round, as Rebellion’s oddly satisfying Sniper Elite III has cocked its rifle and pulled the trigger on the UK charts.

Review Sniper Elite III (PlayStation 4)
Boom headshot
It’s ironic that so soon after the release of Valiant Hearts: The Great War, another title with a very different outlook on war has stealthily marched onto the PlayStation 4. In Sniper Elite III, rather than making you think about the needless loss of life, this latest instalment in the distance shooter series asks that you revel in...
Review Ultra Street Fighter IV (PlayStation 3)
Shoryuken handle it?
Street Fighter has long been one of the most popular fighting games in the genre, with title releases on just about every platform since 1987. The most recent Street Fighter IV demonstrates Capcom’s commitment to keeping the series alive, with a staggering five iterations on the original build making Ultra Street Fighter IV...
News Not Bought a PS4 Yet? This The Last of Us Remastered Bundle May Tempt You
Ellie of an entry point
While many have been swift to criticise the PlayStation 4’s first full year on the market, we reckon that Sony’s done an admirable job of beating the content drought and keeping a steady stream of software on store shelves. Only last month it collaborated closely with Ubisoft for the release of Watch Dogs, and it still...

News Sony Spends More on US TV Ads for the PS4 Than Microsoft Does for the Xbox One
Apparently it's working

Review Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland (PlayStation Vita)
Mix it up
Shop keepers are an important part of almost every RPG, but they very rarely get the attention that they deserve. They focus a bunch of effort into putting together a nice collection of weapons and potions, and do they even get a spot in the final cutscene? Were they even asked? In Atelier Rorona Plus: The Alchemist of Arland, you’re...
News PS4's First Gran Turismo Game Will Be Stuck at the Start Line for a Little While Yet
Off the mark
This editor’s gaming news engine has been stationary for a few days now, so what better way to remove the rust than with a cheeky post about Gran Turismo 7? It would appear that the industry’s still very much in first gear following the excitement of E3 2014 earlier in the month, but speaking with Eurogamer.net at the Goodwood...
Push Rewind PS4 Firmware Updates, Valiant Hearts, and July's PS Plus Freebies
A good catch up
Push Rewind was conceived as a means to keep you up to date with the weekly happenings on Planet PlayStation, but seeing as this editor’s been holidaying as far away from computer screens as humanly possible over the past seven or so days, this should prove a really rather resourceful recap for your humble host, too. We’re still...
News Here's Every Trophy You'll Be Able to Earn in Upcoming PS4 Shooter Destiny
Spoilers, probably
We all play games for different reasons. Some of us like to get lost in grand and intricate stories, while others are much more interested in rock-solid gameplay. Perhaps the most peculiar breed of gamer, though, is the one that plays purely for the trophies. If you fall into this latter category, we're pleased to share with you...

Got the squids
Octodad: Dadliest Catch developer Young Horses understands that you can never have too much fun parading around vibrant environments as a cephalopod in disguise – and so it’s confirmed that freshly caught DLC is in the works for the zany PlayStation 4 indie. Seemingly ditching the insipid stealth-inspired second half of the core...

News Warhammer 40,000 Stomps onto PS4 with Space Hulk: Deathwing
Them's a lotta bullets
Full of imaginative characters, alien races, and crazy lore, the Warhammer 40,000 universe seems like a perfect backdrop for a gritty action game, and that's apparently what developer Streum On Studio thought, too. Captured from the game's engine — which happens to be Unreal 4 — the announcement trailer looks quite pretty...
Review Monster Monpiece (PlayStation Vita)
Cover-up girl
It’s fair to say that Western support for the PlayStation Vita has dwindled in the past year or so, setting the stage for several Japanese ports to step up and plug the hole. None, however, are more questionably sexualised than Monster Monpiece; a card game where leveling up monster girls by rubbing the handheld’s touchscreen in a...
News The PlayStation 4 Just Can't Catch A Break In Japan
Outsold by the PlayStation 3, again
The PlayStation 4 is selling like cakes which are exceedingly hot in pretty much every region right now — with the notable exception of Japan, where it launched in February this year. According to the latest figures from Famitsu, Sony's latest home console is being outsold not only by the rival Nintendo Wii U,...
News Still Curious about No Man's Sky on PS4? This Video Should Answer a Lot of Your Questions
Space age
It stole the show at E3 along with our Best Game of E3 award, but that hasn't stopped Sony from releasing a rather lengthy trailer that sheds a lot of light on No Man's Sky finer points. The seven minute video covers development of the game, how tiny studio Hello Games got the hype ball rolling, and how the developer has reacted to all of...
News PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886 Features Nerve-Rackingly Realistic Werewolves
At the end of our lycnathrope
You may recall a particularly gruesome trailer for The Order: 1886 from this year's E3. The gory clip debuted during Sony's super slick press conference, and showed off the title's reimagining of 1800s London, complete with historically accurate werewolf infestation. Luckily for us, the Japanese giant has recently...

Review Valiant Hearts: The Great War (PlayStation 4)
Dog day afternoon
There are hundreds upon hundreds of games about war. Yet despite the subject matter’s ubiquity, there is a distinct lack of variety in the way it’s handled: you shoot people, you sneak behind people so you can stab them in the back, or you slaughter countless people with the press of a single button. These gleeful and...
Video This is What Pro Evo 2015 Will Look Like In Motion
First gameplay footage hits the web
Konami has lifted the lid on the next entry in the Pro Evolution Soccer series with a short but sweet gameplay trailer. As expected, PES 2015: Pro Evolution Soccer looks absolutely stunning — but then most football games can boast that these days. The proof will be in the core mechanics, of which the trailer...
News Does This New Project Morpheus Trailer Sell You On Sony's Virtual Reality Headset?
It's incredible, apparently
Sony's virtual reality headset Project Morpheus may be a nifty piece of tech, but its value is incredibly hard to demonstrate. After all, there's nothing particularly exciting about watching someone with a clunky set of goggles strapped to their face wildly waving their arms about. It's the sort of thing that
Matters of Import Becoming the Ace Pilot of Your Dreams in Gundam: Extreme VS Full Boost
Well that's just fan-Feddie-tastic
Over the course of its opening five hours, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Full Boost had this particular Gundam-crazed author shouting and swearing worse than a generic Zeon pilot who's about to be blown to bits by an opposing Feddie protagonist. In layman's terms, this ridiculously named title plays host to an...
Video Footage Of Namco Bandai's New PS3 Godzilla Game Stomps Into View
Play as different Godzillas when the game launches in Japan later this year

But female hostages were shown at E3 for "empathy"

Weirdness Here's What Grand Theft Auto V Would Play Like With a First-Person View
Mind the clipping
Grand Theft Auto V certainly doesn't have the best shooting mechanics that we've seen in a game, but perhaps a first-person view would make its gunplay more appealing.

A lot has been said about the performance of the two major players at last year's E3.

Soapbox Was Dragon's Crown Just A Joke That Nobody Got?
Taking things too seriously

Review Battle Princess of Arcadias (PlayStation 3)
Such a peach
Being a princess is overrated. You’ll soon wear out your waving hand, you have to speak to poor people (which even poor people hate doing), and the occasional gifted helicopter from the in-laws does little to take the edge off. Being a battle princess, alternatively, is a completely different affair. It means you get to go out and hit...

Company doesn't want to take the Call of Duty route

According to Microsoft, anyway
The delay of Batman: Arkham Knight was a real disappointment — we hoped to be busting criminals as titular Dark Knight in 2014, rather than 2015. Publisher Warner Bros. has so far been reluctant to give us a solid release date for the title, but it would appear that Microsoft has gone ahead and done it anyway. On...

This author gets the jitters if Chart-Track’s weekly UK sales data isn’t ready to write about first thing on a Monday morning, and don’t even mention routine rupturing Bank Holidays. It was little wonder, then, that the web was awash with cynicism last year when Nintendo opted to...

Review Mind Zero (PlayStation Vita)
Never mind this one
Without a doubt, Mind Zero appears to be a genuinely high quality JRPG. It has an enticingly sleek art direction, an atypical twist on its familiar gameplay, a diverse cast of characters, and a promising story premise, so we were naturally impressed by the brainpower that must have gone into the game. But as we delved a little...

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse has been made possible due to the generosity of franchise fans courtesy of a successful Kickstarter campaign.

For a system that’s selling extraordinarily well, the PlayStation 4 is seriously short on racing games.

Let it cook
There was a sense of disbelief when LittleBigPlanet 3’s logo nonchalantly appeared on Sony’s sizeable E3 2014 press conference screen.

Wish you were here
Given the delay to PlayStation 4 racer DriveClub, it didn’t play a huge role in platform holder Sony’s big E3 2014 press conference – but that doesn’t mean that the Evolution Studios developed exclusive isn’t enjoying a sizeable presence on the show floor.

Up and down
For large chunks of last night’s PlayStation press conference, we really thought that Sony had learned.
