Review The Escapists (PlayStation 4)
Bored behind bars
Every great prison break in history has been executed by someone with the ability to make a fully functioning machine gun out of two plastic forks, a DVD of Adam Sandler's 1989 cinematic masterpiece Going Overboard, and three inches of wire. The Escapists teaches you everything that you need to know when you inevitably get locked...
News Batman: Arkham Knight Goes to War in PS4 Gameplay
Catch seven minutes of the Caped Crusader
We're now weeks away from the Bat Signal being fired up on your PlayStation 4, and Warner Bros is dropping gameplay trailers like they're going out of fashion. This new one – 'Time to Go to War' – deployed a little earlier in the week, but slipped through the cracks here at Push Square Towers. As such,...
Push Rewind PlayStation Plus Freebies, Resident Evil Zero, Ultra Street Fighter IV
All over
Well, that may have been one of the worst weeks ever for personal reasons – but it also wasn't that exciting from a PlayStation perspective either. With the thrill of E3 2015 right around the corner, publishers are currently pretty tight lipped about all of their upcoming projects. Of course, this means that leaks are inevitable. Any...
News Don't Panic, the Ultra Street Fighter IV PS4 Patch Hits Next Week
Grief with 'Gief
Remember when games launched without significant bugs and glitches? Yeah, neither do we.

News PS4 Appears to Be Targeting the Mtn Dew and Doritos Crowd
Call of Duty may be switching sides
It's arguably the most tedious saga in gaming right now: which platform holder will promote Call of Duty: Black Ops III? Last year, rumours were rife that Sony had snapped up Activision's super series, but it didn't pan out. That same speculation started circling around Treyarch's latest title a couple o
News Sigh! This Silent Hills Revival Rumour Is a Load of Rubbish
No, Microsoft isn't buying Xbox One exclusivity for billions of dollars
Alright, seeing as IGN is reporting on this one, we'll take the bait: Silent Hills is not going to be announced as an Xbox One exclusive at E3 2015 next month. Well, theoretically it could be, but this brand new rumour which emerged on Rooster Teeth and is popping up all over...

Full list of trinkets revealed
Rocket League may not look like much on the surface, but its simplistic presentation belies an experience brimming with depth.

News These Witcher 3 Glitches are Bloody Horrific
Why the long face?
We've seen some pretty dumb glitches during our time with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but nothing particularly nefarious. The same can't be said for often hilarious YouTube user Tyrannicon, however, who's put together a short video of non-playable characters and their long, melted faces. Complete with eerie music and dark, stormy...
News Everybody's Gone to the Rapture May Be PS4's Prettiest Indie Yet
No, really
Considering that The Chinese Room consists of a dozen or so developers based in sunny British seaside town Brighton, there are some serious production values on display in its forthcoming PlayStation 4 project. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture looks borderline photorealistic – in fact, while perusing screenshots of the title prior to...
News Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Will Plunder PS4 Treasure Before 31st March
Gold standard
Let's not beat around the bush: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the big one. Sony may have an impressive stable of first-party studios, but Naughty Dog has grown into a world-beater over the past decade or so – and thus, the Californian firm's forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive will be placed under enormous scrutiny when it eventually...
News Remember Vampyr? The Horror RPG Will Be Feeding at E3 2015
Bite-sized trailer planned
We first wrote about Vampyr all the way back in January, when it was supposedly shown behind closed doors. Apparently a horror-themed role-playing game, it's being made by French developer Dontnod - the team behind the stylish Remember Me, which released on the PlayStation 3 in 2013. Vampyr certainly sounds intriguing, as...
News Konami's Really Sorry You Don't Like Its Mobile First Future

News Tekken 7's Newest Character Summons a Tiger to Do Her Dirty Work
Eye of the tiger
Tekken 7's adding another animal to the character roster, kind of. This time, there's a tiger entering the fray, but there is a catch in that it's actually part of newcomer Kazumi Mishima's moveset. Kazumi's Heihachi's wife, and Kazuya's mother, adding yet more fuel to the already dysfunctional family's fire. While her fighting...

We're not entirely sure whether it's his weirdly...

News Sony: PlayStation Vita Is a Legacy Platform
Gulp
It's perhaps an indictment of the current state of the PlayStation Vita in the Western world that we haven't really found the need to write an update on the device for some time. While there was hope of the format's fortunes turning around 18 or so months ago, the platform's fate has remained unchanged for a while now. And while it continues to...

News PS4 Explore-'Em-Up Wander Is Releasing a Lot Sooner Than You Think
Arriving via griffin
Ever since Wander was initially revealed, we've not been quite sure what to make of the PlayStation 4 title.

But while we found this series to be a bit of a slow burn at first, it has picked up pace of late, so can...

Review Sketchcross (PlayStation Vita)
Sketchy
Nonograms are an eclectic sort of puzzle. Mostly being a spin on sudoku with a hint of crosswords, the objective is to essentially create pixel art of animals, people, shapes, or anything that you can think of by filling in specific squares of a grid. You accomplish this by logically analysing numbers that correspond with rows and columns,...

Sonic gloom
Well, well, well – this is all rather sad and embarrassing, isn't it? Sony looked like it had the fighting game community locked down a few weeks ago, but its plans are in tatters right now. While, yes, Street Fighter V is still very much a PlayStation 4 and PC exclusive, the Japanese giant's port of Ultra Street Fighter IV was...

News Sony Looking to KO Ultra Street Fighter IV PS4 Problems with Patch
Hadouken
Ultra Street Fighter IV should, in theory, have made the jump to the PlayStation 4 seamlessly.

News Phew, Assassin's Creed Syndicate Won't Have a Daft Companion App
Now we're getting somewhere
Assassin's Creed Unity had a lot of problems, some far more serious than its stupid companion app, but the fact that there were locked chests scattered all about the map, which could only be opened via the use of said app, was just the icing on the cake of an already disappointing package.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Console Sales Remain Pretty Terrible, But Witcher 3 PS4 Takes Top Spot
Get in, Geralt
The old saying goes that things will get worse before they get better, and that's hopefully what's happening with Japan's hardware market.
