  • News Sony Suggests a PS4 Reboot if You Still Can't Sign in to PSN

    Simple solutions

    We've been signed in to the PlayStation Network on all three of our primary Sony systems all day, but a quick look at our site statistics suggests that we're one of the lucky ones. The platform holder insists, however, that its online infrastructure is working, and recommends a reboot if you still can't login with your PlayStation...

  • Game of the Year Best PS4 Games of 2014

    Greatness awaits

    Sony would probably agree that the PlayStation 4's first year wasn't exactly vintage – but then, when does a console ever come flying out of the gates? From a first-party perspective, the platform holder pumped out some quality titles, but compared to its frankly frighteningly lineup in 2013, the past twelve months have fallen...

  • News Meet the Man Who Stole Christmas for PS4 Fans

    The Grinch would be proud

    While the PlayStation Network slowly rolls back out around the globe, the after effects of a recent gaming cyber attack are still looming large. Indeed, some people are still unable to connect on the PlayStation 4, rendering Christmas gifts untouched. Meanwhile, the damage to Sony's reputation has been catastrophic –...

  • Rumour Rebecca Chambers Will Return in Resident Evil Zero on PS4, PS3

    Oh, Coen then

    It seems like Capcom's not even going to bother waiting to see if its forthcoming Resident Evil re-release is successful, as it appears to be lining up a remastered version of divisive GameCube prequel Resident Evil Zero as we type. Eagle eyed fans spotted the game's icon on a PlayStation 4 dashboard image, which the publisher is using...

  • News Joy to the World, PSN's No Longer Offline

    Most people can now connect

    Let's hope that this is the last article that we have to write on this matter: PlayStation Network is finally coming back online across the globe. While not everyone has access yet, we're now able to use our consoles fully – we even tried our luck by purchasing a couple of games from the PlayStation Store, and had zero...

  • News Christmas Will Last Longer in Grand Theft Auto Online on PS4, PS3

    The most wonderful time of the year

    We hope that you enjoyed it, because Christmas is now more or less over for another year. While there's still New Year to look forward to, though, Rockstar Games is prolonging the seasonal spirit in Grand Theft Auto Online due to the ongoing PlayStation Network outage on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Aw,...

  • Review Super Mega Baseball (PlayStation 4)

    Out of the park

    Super Mega Baseball marks the first release from Canadian developer Metalhead Software. Currently only available on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 as a cross-buy release, the $19.99 baseball title offers a marvellous distraction from the rigmarole of everyday life. As an arcade game, it's not going to put you in the Yankees...

  • News Assassin's Creed Unity Is No Longer a Total Slide Show on PS4

    French resolution

    Assassin’s Creed Unity probably should have been taken to the gallows rather than store shelves. There’s a reasonable game at the centre of the Parisian escapade, but performance hiccups have thus far prevented it from breaking free. However, following the addition of a gigantic 6.5GB patch, has Ubisoft managed to salvage...

  • News Actually, PS4 Had the Most Great Games This Year

    Don't shoot the messenger

    There's an image from Nintendo doing the rounds that claims that the Wii U had the most great games this year. It uses a combination of Metascore and user score from aggregation website Metacritic to draw its conclusion, which struck us as an unusual fusion of information. Perhaps this is because the aforementioned...

  • News This UK PS4 Bundle Comes with Four Blockbuster Games

    How low can you go?

    It's not even Boxing Day yet, but UK retailer GAME is already breaking out the big guns. Despite being historically expensive, the specialist store has been pretty competitive in the hardware space of late – and this £349.99 uber-bundle is one of the best that we've seen so far. It looks like Santa will be arriving early for...

  • Store Update 23rd December 2014 (North America)

    The nightmare before Christmas

    Well, it's practically Christmas – but Sony ain't shirking its civic duties. Considering that it's the 23rd December, this is a surprisingly bumper North American PlayStation Store update, featuring new titles such as Switch Galaxy Ultra, as well as a metric ton of DLC. There are also a slew of games on sale, so...

  • News Far Cry 4 and Freedom Wars Scale Final EU Christmas Sale

    And that's the end of that

    Like the big box perched under your Christmas tree, Sony's big 12 Deals of Christmas initiative promised so much – only to serve up a slew of, frankly, underwhelming offers. The platform holder has put the lid on things today, announcing that for the next 48 hours, Far Cry 4 will be available for as low as £39.99 on the...

  • News PlayStation 4 Proves Its Worth to the Tojo Clan

    The Dragon of Dojima

    It was only a matter of time before the PlayStation 4 obtained admission into the Tojo Clan. Ahead of the release of prequel Yakuza Zero next year, Sony has prepared four tattooed consoles, which should prove the company's allegiance to the current family chairman. Available in both white and black, the designs include the...
