  • 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...

    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

  • Review Curses 'N Chaos (PS4)

    Pain is temporary

  • 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 PS4 Firmware Update 3.00 Beta Invitations Are Out

    What are you doing here?

  • 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.
