In the surest sign yet that E3 2015 is right around the corner, Sony has slapped up its usual poster on the rear of the LA Convention Centre – and yes, it's a picture of Nathan Drake looking all miserable for Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.

Review Arcania: The Complete Tale (PlayStation 4)
Archaic adventure
Stop us if you've heard this one before: a man sets out on a quest for revenge after his idyllic life is shattered by the destruction of his home at the hands of a marauding army.

News Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair Brings Buggy Slideshows to PS4
EDF! EDF! EDF!
Earth Defense Force's eternal appeal will always be its less-than-stellar presentation.

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...
Review Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark (PlayStation 4)
Dead and alive
Brandishing a rather fetching title, Schrödinger's Cat and the Raiders of the Lost Quark (Schrödinger's, henceforth) introduces itself as somewhat of a novel addition to the 2D platforming realm, boasting eccentric stylised graphics and an intriguingly educational premise. Once you dig deeper than these cosmetic oddities, however,...

Getting hot in here
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. Neither needed the paranormal insight of Mystic Meg to predict, but we didn't really expect either to be announced so...

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.

And that's a shame, as its various...

Long live the legacy
Despite all the naysayers declaring the PlayStation Vita a dead console and Sony seemingly distancing itself from the "legacy" platform as if it has smallpox, the handheld is still getting new games.

News Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection's PS4 Dynamic Theme Is a Real Treasure
X marks the spot
Don't pre-order Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection just yet. Look, we're just as excited for the PlayStation 4 ports as you are, but seeing as Sony hasn't shown us a shred of gameplay, we'd recommend hanging fire for just a few more weeks.

Retrospective Returning to the Wastelands of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas
Back to nothing
The Fallout franchise has been hanging around like an irradiated ghoul since 1997, but it was Bethesda Game Studios and the memorable Fallout 3 that cemented the series as a mainstream property.

Clang
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open world, first-person role-playing game that's currently in development for the PlayStation 4.

The game's playable right now
RIME is right up there among the most anticipated PlayStation 4 projects.

A point that we've made countless times now: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a massive game.

Sea you at the finish line
Beach Buggy Racing is more Blackpool than the Bahamas.

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...

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...
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.

News DriveClub Server Upgrade Clearing the Road for Free PS4 Version
PlayStation Plus Edition nears

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.
