  • Guide How to Stream 1080p Videos from Your PC to the PS4

    Movie media server

    Despite the promise of future support from platform holder Sony, the PlayStation 4 is currently very poor when it comes to local media playback. While it includes compatibility with key applications such as Netflix and the BBC iPlayer, it’s currently impossible to play videos, listen to music, or even view photos from your local...

  • News PS4 Port The Last of Us Remastered Is Agonisingly Close to Completion

    Endure and survive

    PlayStation 4 port The Last of Us Remastered has sort of crept up on us like Joel and Ellie in a Firefly stronghold. The game – which was announced earlier in the year after numerous leaks – is due out at the end of the month, and judging by a Tweet posted by lead programmer Jason Gregory, it’s very nearly complete. “Grea

  • Review Resogun: Heroes (PlayStation 4)

    Holding out for a hero

    It’s a statement that’s rapidly approaching cliché territory, but Housemarque’s cylindrical shooter Resogun is still the PlayStation 4’s best game. That’s not a slight against the software library that Sony’s next-gen system has amassed over the past six months or so – although we’re sure that many would like...

  • News Blimey, Only Four in Ten PlayStation Games Actually Make Money

    Whelp

    Many of us play video games, but very few of us can fully appreciate just how harsh the business surrounding our hobby can be.

"We...

    Pick-'n'-Mix

    It's no secret that this writer loves Japanese role-playing games, so the latest trio announced by publisher NIS America has your humble host's wallet shuddering in despair – especially as all are confirmed for North American and European release.

  • Push Rewind Transformers, Dynasty Warriors, and PS4 Tidbits

    All you wanted

    We’d love to give this recap a bit of oomph by informing you that it’s been an incredibly eventful week in the PlayStation Nation, but we reckon that the gaming industry’s gone on strike while the World Cup and Wimbledon edge closer to their conclusion. Still, that’s fine by us, as we’ve spent the past seven days huddled...

  • Review Child of Light (PlayStation Vita)

    Summer child

    It took longer and was more brutal than a rap battle between J.R.R. Tolkien and George R.R. Martin, but Child of Light has finally made it to the PlayStation Vita. Those of you who have been desperately waiting to see what all the fuss was about can, after almost three months, join Aurora on her rather poetic quest to save the world...

  • Review That Trivia Game (PlayStation 4)

    Pointless

    There have been copious trivia games released over the years, with Relentless Software’s surprisingly good Buzz! series perhaps being the most popular among PlayStation fans.

  • Review Blue Estate (PlayStation 4)

    Off the rails

    The rail shooter has been a staple of arcades for decades, giving gamers the chance to wield plastic firearms to gun down wave after wave of enemies. Their popularity made it natural that they’d make the jump into the home, and while there have been a few successes on consoles, most gamers came to the conclusion a while ago that this...

    Lifting the lid on Japan's best PlayStation accessory

    Back in the mists of time, when Tamagotchi was still a thing and we were all wondering if SEGA’s Dreamcast was really going to turn things around for the ailing hardware company, Sony took the Sonic the Hedgehog maker's new Visual Memory Unit concept – a portable memory card with a built-in...

  • News Developers Declare That PlayStation 4 Is the Best Console Right Now

    The best place to play and work

    We know that Sony supposedly loves developers, but is that affection reciprocated? It turns out that it is, as a slew of studios have voted the PlayStation 4 as the best console currently on the market – beating the Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS, and even the firm’s own PlayStation Vita. The system finished fifth in...

  • Review GRID Autosport (PlayStation 3)

    Three-point turn

    GRID 2 was largely seen as a disappointment by many of the series’ fans – a step in the wrong direction, lacking the focus and discipline that made the original release such a compelling outing for racing enthusiasts. GRID Autosport, the latest offering from British firm Codemasters, aims to redeem the series – and bar a few...

    Top Márquez

    Our infallible scientific studies suggest that many MotoGP stars endured multiple bumps on their bonces from a very early age.

    Round 20

    Who Would Win Wednesdays has reached its 20th round, meaning that it's now possible to look all the way back to the very first instalment of this weekly feature and think to yourself, "I was there when it all began."
