Guide How to Share PS4 Video Clips on YouTube
Broadcast yourself
There’s no doubt that the PlayStation 4’s share button has significantly changed the manner in which we communicate our gaming experiences with friends and family, but the console’s inability to upload gameplay clips to sites such as YouTube is a bit of an oversight. Fortunately, there is a workaround if you’re willing to...

News These LittleBigPlanet Trademarks Have Our Imaginations Running Wild
Popit into overdrive
Sony has recently registered two separate trademarks in the UK under the name LBP.

The second, however, is listed as "computer game software", but curiously also...
News Drakengard Director Burns Hopes of Hypothetical PS4 Sequel
Down in flames
It’s not always easy being a fan of niche Japanese games. Often you’ll be forced to promote pathetic online petitions in order to plead to publishers for a localisation, and that’s if your favourite franchise even secures a sequel at all. Drakengard followers may have been jubilant over the recent news that the third instalment...

Guide Building Blocks for Beginners in Minecraft: PS3 Edition
What's mine is yours
Minecraft was a rather vague, strange game when it first launched on the PC. To learn about most of it, you had to jump onto the web and research a particular topic, especially when it came to creating tools and weapons. Thankfully for those new to the release, the super popular title is much more accessible now than it ever...

News This Patent May Shed Some Light on Sony's Plans for Gaikai Streaming
The sky's the limit
You may remember early last year when Sony revealed that Gaikai technology would be used to allow streaming of PlayStation 3 games on the PlayStation 4. You'll probably also recall that, since that time, details surrounding the proposed services have proven as illusive as information regarding The Last Guardian. However, we may...

There are two types of trailer: the teaser that tells you next to nothing about the product that it’s promoting, and the epic that uncovers everything that you could ever want to know.

Dig out that David Bowie record
Just as she’s a fan of dusty old objects, video game heroine Lara Croft is also rather keen on reconstructive surgery.

He's feeling glad
If you didn't already know, we really loved The Last of Us here at Push Square. In fact, we loved it so much that we threw as many Game Of The Year awards at it as we possibly could.

Hig hig hooray
Japan’s tolerance for first-person shooters may have increased, but the region has never been particularly accepting of the Killzone franchise.

It can't be for nothing
We’d love for this article to come as a pleasant surprise, but we suspect that it’s more obvious than a brick to the face.
