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.

Review Onechanbara Z2: Chaos (PS4)
Devil don't care
The Onechanbara series has been around for a while in Japan, shamelessly fusing ridiculous combat with girls in skimpy costumes for a good 11 years now.

Talking Point Should More AAA Titles Adopt a Service Approach?
Increasing engagement
Once upon a time, gaming was quite a disposable pastime.

Peanut stutter
Tembo the Badass Elephant should have been ten tons of fun, but instead it's a steaming pile of missed opportunity.
