News Fallout 4 Would 'Never Work' on the PS3, Says Bethesda
Wastelands will only arrive on new-gen systems
Much like a ghoul, Fallout 4 ain't exactly a looker. The game's debut trailer was exciting, no doubt about that – but we can probably safely assume that it's not going to be a graphical masterpiece. That's okay, though, because it'll likely be gigantic, crammed with hidden areas and secrets to find...

While it definitely still feels like the video game industry is in hibernation ahead of E3 2015 later in the month, this was a pretty big week for two reasons: Fallout 4 and Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection.

News Civilization Revolution 2 Plots an Uprising on PS Vita
Seemingly settling down on Sony's system
Do you know what the PlayStation Vita needs? Well, a few non-Japanese strategy games would be nice.

The store's been a success across the pond in North America and Canada, and as the regional URL suggests, the site now ships PlayStation...
News Of Course There's Going to Be a Samurai Warriors 4: Empires on PS4, PS3, and Vita
What did you expect?
Well, looks like Koei Tecmo is taking Samurai Warriors 4 to all of the usual stops. Much like just about every other mainline Warriors title, the sengoku period slasher will be getting its own Empires spin-off. It'll be marching into Japanese stores on the 3rd September, which likely means a spring 2016 Western release, if it...
News Gravity Ghost Explores the Cosmos on PS4
Iona want to see the trailer
There's not a day goes by without a handful of new digital games being announced for the PlayStation 4, and today marks the turn of Ivy Games' cult hit Gravity Ghost. An ethereal adventure with some similarities to Hohokum and StarDrone, this game sees you play as Iona, a ghost girl tasked with reuniting the spirits of...
Store Update 2nd June 2015 (North America)
Skulls of the ShogunRok
Ah, the North American PlayStation Store update – a timely reminder that Wednesday is approaching, meaning that the weekend isn't all that far away. This isn't the most exciting refresh ever, with the likes of Skulls of the Shogun: Bone-a-Fide Edition and The Escapists taking centre stage. Still, we're sure that you'll find...
Review Beach Buggy Racing (PlayStation 4)
Sea you at the finish line
Beach Buggy Racing is more Blackpool than the Bahamas. Vector Unit's debut PlayStation 4 outing ditches the basic backdrops of Super Mario Kart's dowdy Donut Plains, and attempts to inject a little sunshine into the humble kart racer by setting the action beside the sea. Despite the Californian company's best intentions,...

If you've logged into your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, or Vita, you may have noticed that the PlayStation Network isn't its usual self. No, she's not having an internal meltdown, she's just undergoing some maintenance. Follow us on Twitter for more updates on the PSN outage Usually we find out ahead of time if there's to be...
News Naughty Dog's Already Playing Uncharted 4 Multiplayer on PS4
"It's getting so awesome"
Expect to hear a lot more about Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's multiplayer mode at E3 2015 this month, as Naughty Dog has hinted that it's already got a playable build up-and-running internally. This is no big surprise, of course, as iteration and balance testing is an important part of every good competitive component –...
News PS4 Nyko Databank Will Put Some Extra Fat on Your PS4 This June
Chubby lovin'
If you're anything like us lot then you've probably had to euthanize a few games to make room for new adventures on your PlayStation 4 – 500GB just doesn't go far enough these days. Of course, you've always got the option to upgrade the 2.5" stock hard-drive to something a little beefier, but even then the price to double up to 1TB...
News This Week's Free Witcher 3 DLC Has Been Detailed
Two more packs to fill your inventory with
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is getting two more pieces of free downloadable content this week, although they don't appear to be all that exciting. First up is the Nilfgaardian Armour Set, which seems to include two sets of armour - one for Geralt, and one for his ever-trusty steed, Roach. Much like the orderly...

News This Guy Is Better at Bloodborne Than You Are
A good hunt
Bloodborne, blimey – remember that? It was the PlayStation 4 flavour of the month before The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out and everyone started playing that instead. Fortunately, streamer extraordinaire Craddoc hasn't forgotten about From Software's excellent exclusive – and has opted to play through the entire game without levelling...

Review Destiny: House of Wolves (PlayStation 4)
Pack mentality
Where The Dark Below seemed to stumble around in the, er, dark, Destiny's second so-called expansion, House of Wolves, clearly aims to right the wrongs of its predecessor. Alongside the shooter's most recent patches, the newest slice of downloadable content does its best to make meaningful, positive changes to the shooter's formula,...
News It Sounds Like Dragon Age: Inquisition Is Getting More Story DLC
Prepare to wait
Dragon Age: Inquisition's Jaws of Hakkon expansion released last week on PlayStation platforms, and if you happened to enjoy the inquisitor's latest romp, then you'll probably be happy to hear that more single player content is on the way. "We're not quite done with story content for Dragon Age: Inquisition just yet," creative...
Review Sparkle Unleashed (PlayStation 4)
Lacking spark
Do you remember the days when playing and collecting marbles was popular? No, we're not 100-years-old either, but even though times and technology have changed, Sparkle Unleashed has a familiar premise: you must arrange balls into order for personal satisfaction. The difference here is that your obsessive compulsive disorder isn't the...
Out This Week Wander, Tetris Ultimate, PlayStation Plus Freebies
Walk this way
Ah, the pre-E3 calm has finally arrived. Of course, those of you that frequent the PlayStation Nation will know that there's never a slow week on Sony's systems – even when it is, er, a slow week. Are you keeping up? We should probably write this introduction over, but time is of the essence and all that. Let's get stuck in, shall...
Weirdness This DriveClub Razor Needs to Be Seen to Be Believed
Comes with exclusive content
What do men like almost as much as sports cars? A clean shave, of course. With that in mind, this DriveClub branded Philips Norelco Click & Style razor doesn't seem that strange at all... Oh, alright – it's almost as bad as that Assassin's Creed Unity edition of Edge shaving gel. The razor's available from
News We Should Probably Post This Rise of the Tomb Raider Video, Right?
Ice ice, baby
Well, this is all a bit awkward, isn't it? Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, recently re-iterated that Rise of the Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive, so we should probably post this brand new trailer, right? You'll have to forgive us for all of the Microsoft branding which is plastered all over the, admittedly brief, clip, then. There's...
News Take-Two Boss Says PS4 Hasn't Hit Its Full Potential
Greatness awaits
Things are only going to get better for the PlayStation 4 – or at least that's what Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick had to say at the 43rd Annual Technology, Media, and Telecom Conference in New York this past week. "We have yet to see entirely what the technology can allow," the executive said, talking about Sony's new gaming...
News UK Sales Charts: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Is Still Top Wolf
Competition goes splat
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt held onto its position atop the UK sales charts this week, despite competition from Wii U exclusive Splatoon, which was forced to settle for second. We had an inkling things would turn out this way. Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 15, and Farming Simulator 15 rounded out the top five – an especially...
News PS4 and Vita Platformer EarthNight Certainly Looks the Part
Imagine dragons
Endless runners seem to be a dime a dozen these days, but Cleversoft's interestingly named EarthNight may be one to watch out for. Sporting an attractive art style and a lot of whimsical charm, the PlayStation 4 and Vita platformer certainly looks pretty, and the gameplay trailer that we've embedded gives us a glimpse of how it...
News DriveClub Server Upgrade Clearing the Road for Free PS4 Version
PlayStation Plus Edition nears
Evolution Studios is currently implementing a "significant" DriveClub server upgrade which should, fingers crossed, pave the way for the long overdue PlayStation Plus version. Writing on the game's official Facebook page, the studio stressed that the systems powering the title's innovative Challenges system are being...
News It's Fine to Be Fashionably Late to Corpse Party: Blood Drive
Washin' your hair
We don't know about you, but as this author got older, the concept of 'fashionably late' got taken to extremes. Events would be scheduled for, say, 19:00PM – but you were a jerk if you showed up any earlier than 22:00PM. Growing up is pretty dumb, huh? Having said that, such tactics may come in handy when it comes to Corpse Party...
News FIFA Is Skipping a Season on PS Vita
Sacked
FIFA 16 may be keeping the ball rolling on last-gen consoles, but it'll be taking a season off as far as handhelds are concerned. The upcoming sports simulator won't be appearing on the PlayStation Vita this year, although we're not entirely sure what difference that'll actually make. Indeed, each portable iteration of the mega franchise has...
News Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons May Be Coming to PS4
Next-gen feels
Starbreeze Studios made grown men weep (don't deny it) with its exceptionally crafted Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons back on the PlayStation 3. Well, it seems that we'll be dabbing away at damp eyes once again (please, stop denying it) as the title has been rated by the German classification board for a release on the PlayStation 4...
