It's been another relatively dismal week here at Push Square Towers, lifted perhaps only by the bevy of big reviews that we've published. Resident Evil Zero and This War of Mine: The Little Ones both scored well, while World of Tanks was a teensy bit less successful. In terms of features, we ranked the Top 20 PlayStation 4 games to date, while we also chatted to the producer of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth.
Reviews
Resident Evil Zero - 8/10
Resident Evil Zero not only feels fresh 14 years after its original release, but it also showcases a superb remastering effort. A methodical game which truly rewards deep thought, this survival horror classic stands tall in genre that's been streamlined a little too much in recent times. If you've never played 'Becca and Billy's escapade, then there's never been a better opportunity. And for those who have survived the nightmare before, the new modes and graphical upgrades mean that there's plenty of reason to climb aboard.
This War of Mine: The Little Ones - 9/10
This War of Mine: The Little Ones throws you into a beautiful and compelling hell. Experiencing war as a group of civilians whose lives rest in your hands with only your conscience to guide you is a refreshing change of pace from pretty much any other game out there. This is a brilliant mix of harrowing survival interspersed with moments of joy. Having fun really isn't the point here: this is a game that will challenge anyone desensitised to the real sufferings of war – and that's a bold move.

Feature: The Best Games on PS4 - Winter 2016 Edition
It's been six months since we controversially categorised the best games on the PlayStation 4, and a lot has happened since then. Not only have a handful of absentees from last year's 20 strong shortlist won a place in our most active organs, but new releases have also caused us to reconsider the cream of the crop. So, in what we intend to become a biannual feature, we present to you the strongest software that you'll find on Sony's new-gen system – well, as of Winter 2016, anyway…
Interview: We Talk Everything Digital with the Producer of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth
Can you believe that it's almost time for a brand new Digimon game here in the West? Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is launching early next month on PlayStation 4 and Vita, and we've little doubt that long time fans are starting to feel the hype. Digimon titles are a real rarity outside of Japan these days, so we thought that we may as well make the most of the occasion by asking producer Kazumasa Habu a few questions with regards to the upcoming release.

Rumour: Destiny 2 Was Set to Release This Year, But Has Been Delayed
There's been speculation for a few months now regarding Destiny's future. There's little doubt that last year's expansion, The Taken King, gave the shooter the kick up the arse that it so desperately needed, but now that many players have exhausted the latest content, there's a lingering feeling that something's not quite right with Bungie's often referenced 'ten year plan'.

You'll probably want to follow it, so make sure that you do so through here.

Sony Boasts About the PS4's Japanese Lineup with Sick Beats
Sony started last year with a deluge of PlayStation 4 releases in Japan, and it looks like it's adopting the exact same strategy in 2016. The marketing tactics have changed, however: the platform holder has just uploaded a video featuring a handful of the device's upcoming titles set to some crunk beats. It's probably the dumbest thing that we've seen all week.

@get2sammyb Neat week, strange thing but I've never been less interested in one of the pushsquare 8 or 9 rated games with RE zero and the war of mine, strange really.
That video is brilliant, I was a little tired this morning. After watching that Im more wired than Pete Doherty.
