  • Guide Where to Find All of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Music Cassette Tapes

    Locations that will make your Walkman sing

    Let it be known that there is only one universal truth on this earth, and that is that cassette tapes suck. Unfortunately for Big Boss he hasn't got much of a choice, as CDs and iPods don't exist in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. While collectibles can be a pile of crud in other games, the tapes...

  • News When's the Inevitable PS4 Slim Coming Out, Sony?

    Also, what's going on with Gran Turismo?

    Let's not beat around the bush: there will be a PlayStation 4 Slim at some point. Of course, it's not something that anyone at Sony wants to talk about just yet, and PlayStation India boss Atindriya Bose is no different. Quizzed by Gaming Bolt about the possibility of a much smaller model, the suit said that...

  • Review VVVVVV (PS4)

    VVVVVV has come to

    Horror show

    Your humble video host was torn away, kicking and screaming from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in order to make this bloody Game of the Month round up, so you had better watch the damn thing.

  • Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 83

    Ahead of schedule

    The sun has set on another week, but there's one major difference this time: we've actually got WAYP ready relatively early this time.

  • News Schwing! Swords are Coming to Destiny as Usable Weapons

    Is this Warframe?

    Right, so they've been basically confirmed for a while, but during yesterday's Destiny livestream, Bungie finally showed off some swords. Categorised as heavy weapons, these blades will require purple ammunition to 'charge' them, but they look cool enough to be worth the trouble. These instruments of death aren't like most of your...

  • News 30MB Final Fantasy X HD PS4 Patch Fixes a Couple of Lingering Issues

    Auron't you lucky

    There's a new patch available for Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster on PlayStation 4 that fixes a couple of annoying issues that, to be totally honest, we never knew existed. Disregarding our obvious ignorance, the 30MB update clears up two specific problems that players have apparently been shouting about since the collection...

    You wouldn't believe

  • Review Curses 'N Chaos (PS4)

    Pain is temporary

If that wasn't bad enough, you're about to be swarmed by all manner of monsters hungry to finish you off. This is the precarious predicament in which you find yourself in Tribute Games' Curses 'N Chaos –...

  • News Sony: PlayStation Innovation Is Simply Unparalleled

    Firm committed to offering the best place to play

    Sony has, on occasion, garnered a reputation for being a bit of a copy cat. Products like the PlayStation Move, for example, are often flaunted as an example of the organisation's lack of creativity. But in truth, the platform holder has been innovating since it entered the market, with the PSone's...

  • News Drive Sideways with New Need for Speed PS4 Trailer

    Speed freak

    We've already established that Need for Speed's cringe-worthy live action cut-scenes look amazing, but what about the actual game itself? EA Games has released a new trailer showcasing the forthcoming PlayStation 4 racer, and much like a pre-release Rockstar video, it focuses on all of the activities that you'll be getting up to behind...

  • News Gran Turismo 6 Sales Linger at the Back of the Pack

    Slow coach

    You could argue that Sony supported the PlayStation 3 too long. Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog both released big games for the console during the year of the PlayStation 4's release, and the likes of Gran Turismo 6 deployed after the new-gen device. Unsurprisingly, that decision had a negative impact on the latter's sales, as ongoing...

  • News Naughty Dog: We Can Put Together a Really Great Add-on for Uncharted 4

    Studio talks single player DLC

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will be following in The Last of Us' footsteps and getting a story-based expansion pack. This will mark the first time that the series has had its campaign extended with post-release content, and speaking at the GameStop Expo earlier this week – yes, there are c

  • Talking Point What Is a Video Game?

    The million dollar question

    Video game. Noun. A game played by electronically manipulating images produced by a computer program on a monitor or other display. Video games are more diverse than they've ever been. As the market matures, we're starting to see new ideas introduced that challenge the very rules upon which the industry has been built...

  • News Can't Sign in to Destiny? That's Because It's Down for 6 Hours of Maintenance

    Oof

    We hope that you weren't planning on jumping straight into Destiny when you get home from work or school today, because Bungie's taken the servers down for a hefty dose of scheduled maintenance. At the point of publishing this article, the downtime is already under way, beginning at 16:00PM BST - that's 08:00AM PDT and 11:00AM EDT for you...

  • News Free PS3 Fighter SoulCalibur: Lost Swords to Retire Later This Year

    In the sea you go

    SoulCalibur: Lost Swords is the greatest pile of garbage that we've had the displeasure of playing in quite some time, and we get through some trash here at Push Square Towers. The single player fighter was released as part of Bandai Namco's free-to-play push last year, and epitomised everything that's bad about the model. Good...

  • Round Up Push Square's August 2015 Reviews

    Racing towards the storm

    August was a busy month for everyone here at Push Square, as we pumped out a whopping 39 reviews - which is surely some sort of record. The sheer amount of new releases perhaps came as no surprise, though, seeing as we're now hurtling towards the holiday rush at speeds that we're not entirely comfortable with. Future fears...

  • Review Tearaway Unfolded (PS4)

    Card to beat

    Leave it to Media Molecule to find a purpose for all of those gadgets that Sony stuffed into the DualShock 4 controller. Tearaway Unfolded, a remixed edition of the Guildford-based developer's underappreciated PlayStation Vita exclusive, may feature a papery protagonist named either Iota or Atoi, but it's the PlayStation 4's input...

  • Review One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 (PS Vita)

    Size doesn't matter

    You're almost spoiled for choice when it comes to Warriors games on the PlayStation Vita, since just about every slice of musou madness to release on home consoles over the last few years has ended up on Sony's diminutive device as well. Generally speaking, the handheld editions of these chaotic brawlers never quite live up to...

  • News Japanese Sales Charts: Until Dawn and Dragon's Dogma Online Give Us Something to Write About

    New titles boost PS4 sales

    After what seems like weeks of being unable to write about anything remotely interesting happening in the Japanese sales charts, fresh releases have finally hit PlayStation platforms. Choose-your-own-horror Until Dawn slashed its way into sixth place in the software charts, selling 17,472 copies, while the highly...

  • News Sony's Given the North American PlayStation Store a Makeover

    Spruced up

    Don't quote us on this, but one of the things that Sony touted about the new PlayStation Store when it rolled out on the PlayStation 3 was its ability to adapt the design without needing to deploy firmware updates. It appears to have taken advantage of this functionality, as the online plaza has been given a bit of a spring clean in North...

  • News PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Beta Invitations Are Out

    What are you doing here?

    You may want to quickly check your emails before reading on, as Sony has been sending out invitations to the PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.00 beta throughout the course of the day. The platform holder opened registrations to the system software test late last month, so if you applied, there's a good chance that you may...

    Wasteland or waste of space?

    Mad Max has been in development so long that God of War II director Cory Barlog joined developer Avalanche Studios after the completion of the aforementioned PlayStation 2 sequel to work on it. He's since held various other roles in the industry, and not too long ago returned to Sony Santa Monica to work on some kind of...
