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 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.

News Microsoft: Sony's Done a Nice Job Defining the PlayStation 4
Tell it like it is

King of fighters
Tekken may no longer command the clout in the fighting community that it once used to, but this particular author’s still an enormous fan.

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.

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

Game of the Year Gold Trophy - The Last of Us
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.
