Push Rewind PS4 PlayStation 4 1

It's a Bank Holiday here in the UK, so we've decided to sit on Push Rewind until the morning. Alright, if truth be known we were up watching kitten videos all Sunday evening so have only just got around to this regularly scheduled recap of all of the week's hottest news. Well, we say "hot news" but... You'll see.

Until Dawn PS4

Reviews

Until Dawn - 8/10

Until Dawn is a pleasant surprise, and something that fans of interactive stories will really appreciate. As a schlocky horror it's a success, but its fiction actually goes beyond simple slasher – even if it remains intentionally silly throughout. The sometimes sloppy controls will irritate, while the performance capture could have been better, but neither of these issues are nightmarish enough to pull you out of the popcorn flick plot, which is buoyed by the impressive, if not gigantically impactful, butterfly effect. A ridiculous romp is what was promised, then, and this one will keep occupied all night long.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 - 8/10

Although One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 doesn't do an awful lot to distance itself from its predecessor, it still manages to refine almost every existing aspect. Kizuna attacks add some extra flavour to combat, the lengthy story mode is as comprehensive as it can be, and dream log is something that we'd love to see incorporated into future musou titles. However, as with the second game, it's the immensely fun and varied character roster that acts as the wind in this ship's sails. Simply put, Luffy and his crew's latest adventure is a joy to play.

First Impressions: Is Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain on PS4 the Best Entry Yet?

It's night in Afghanistan, as the soldier known as Big Boss surveys a Russian outpost from afar. Soldiers, searchlights, and machine gun emplacements pepper the settlement, making his mission to rescue a prisoner held there even more difficult. The question is: what approach should the legendary soldier take? Should he employ C4 explosives as a distraction, luring the guards away from their charge – or maybe use his trusty tranquiliser gun to put everyone to sleep? What about waiting for a sandstorm to blow through so that he can get in and out unseen?

Feature: Our Most Anticipated PlayStation Games of Holiday 2015

Madden NFL 16 is out, which means that the holiday rush is upon us. As such, we thought that it would be fun to collate our most anticipated titles from the coming months in one place. There was one rule, however – no one was allowed to include a title releasing prior to 7th September. Why? Because we didn't want a list that consisted of little other than current hotness Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Everyone just picked Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection instead.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Looks Insane on PS4

One of the draws of the Uncharted franchise has always been its presentation, and Sony really has hired the best to bring the trilogy to the PlayStation 4. Bluepoint did some outstanding porting work on the PlayStation 3, with both the God of War Collection and the ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection to its name – but The Nathan Drake Collection may just be its crowning work. Sony's showing Uncharted 2: Among Thieves at PAX Prime this week, and it looks absolutely incredible.

Final Fantasy XV's PS4 Release Date Confirmed for 2016

Good news: Final Fantasy XV will definitely release on the PlayStation 4 in 2016. Bad news: you'll need to wait until March to find out exactly when. Speaking during the latest Active Time Report – which is being broadcast from PAX Prime in Seattle this time – game director Hajime Tabata confirmed the window, citing the title's disastrous Gamescom 2015 as the reason behind the clarification.

Dragon Age: Inquisition Says Farewell with One Final DLC and a Nice Big Patch

It's been a reasonably long road for Dragon Age: Inquisition and all of its epic adventures, but the Inquisitor and his or her chums can't stick around forever. Revealed at the game's PAX Prime panel, the sprawling role-playing release will be receiving one final slice of downloadable content alongside one rather intriguing patch as BioWare draws the curtain on this particular journey.

Diablo III's Gigantic New PS4 Patch Is Out Now

Rejoice fellow demon slayers, for the massive Diablo III patch that was detailed earlier today is actually available to download right now on PlayStation 4. The update adds an absolute ton of stuff to the superb loot-'em-up, including a new area, a new questline, and, of course, new gear to hunt down and add to your collection.

Want a Metal Gear Solid Story Refresher? This Site's Got Your Back

There's not a single person here at Push Square Towers that doesn't at least appreciate the Metal Gear Solid series, which is a testament to the property's quality seeing as we rarely ever agree. As good as the franchise is, though, we don't think that it could ever be described as fictionally consistent – so it's fortunate that a new website has been created to timeline the story in layman's terms.

Video of the Week

Hear Nolan North for the First Time as Destiny's Ghost

Destiny: The Taken King's new teaser trailer finally reveals what Nolan North sounds like as he assumes the role of your Ghost companion, and to be totally honest, it's not quite what we were expecting. The voice itself is quite high pitched and seems rather quirky, but we guess that suits a small floating robot quite well.
