  • Push Rewind Journey PS4, Firmware Updates, and Tomb Raider

    Wander wonder

    Yet again, it's that time of the week where we recap all of PlayStation's hottest news. The problem is that, for the fourth Push Rewind running, there's not really an enormous amount to say. Yes, there was a new PlayStation 4 firmware update, but it offered little other than the usual stability guff. We suppose that Rise of the Tomb...

    Pilgrim's progress

  • News Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection's Looking Pretty Darn Smooth on PS4

    Oh snap

    Sony's teasing that there's lots to look forward to with regards to Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, but let's be honest – it's the performance that's most important. While the original titles ran extraordinarily well on the PlayStation 3, the PlayStation 4 comes with a revised set of expectations – including improved resolutions...

  • Review Tembo the Badass Elephant (PS4)

    Peanut stutter

    Tembo the Badass Elephant should have been ten tons of fun, but instead it's a steaming pile of missed opportunity. This is Pokémon developer Game Freak's first PlayStation release since surgeon simulation Click Medic deployed in Japan over 15 years ago, and so it carries the weight of industry intrigue for that reason alone. But...

  • News This R2-D2 PS4 Laptop Is Bleeping Badass

    C3PO would be impressed

    Sony is astutely positioning the PlayStation 4 as the platform for Star Wars this year, but while we're sure that it's going to have a handful of custom hardware bundles to celebrate the release of Battlefront, we doubt that any of them will be this darn awesome. Ed Zarick has been making custom console laptops for a while,...

    Turn on your TV

    Sony's laser focus on gaming may have won it the first part of this generation, but the PlayStation 4 has been lacking in certain areas as a consequence. It's amazing, then, that the system's only just getting a remote, which is set to release in North America on 31st October. The officially licensed device – which can be...

    Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's snazzy red and gunmetal grey PlayStation 4 bundle will cost you a bionic arm and a leg when it launches on 1st September in the UK, as it will be exclusive to seasoned extortionists GAME. Actually, we're being the slightest bit melodramatic – it's a bit of a snip at £364.99. The...

  • News Sony Teases More Uncharted PS4 Collection Improvements Outside of 60FPS and 1080p

    Hidden treasures

    Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is arguably a pretty big deal for Sony later this year, as it's really the publisher's only truly weighty exclusive release. As such, it seems as though the company's doing its best to make the package feel as definitive as possible. We already know that it'll boast a silky smooth 60...

    Getting down and dirty

    There are only two more pieces of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's downloadable content left, and this week's penultimate offering is likely going to be the most deadly that we've seen.

  • News You'll Need The Last of Us' Vinyl for the Cover Alone

    Can't be for nothing

    Before y'all tell us to get in the sea, we were collecting vinyl before bearded hipsters encouraged us to stop.

  • News In Japan, Sony Will Engrave Your PS Vita for a Fee

    Especially for you

    Engraved jewellery is not uncommon in the Western world; engraved video game consoles are.

This means that getting 'Push Square' emblazoned on your...

  • News Dark Souls III Will Praise the Sun at Gamescom 2015

    Prepare to die

    Dark Souls III is perhaps launching a little too soon after the excellent Bloodborne. While we're certainly looking forward to the sequel, we can't help but feel that From Software's teetering dangerously close to franchise fatigue at this point – there have been a lot of these types of titles in a pretty short span of time...
