Push Rewind PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Ooh boy, the highlight this week has to be that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer, doesn't it? Even ignoring the hullabaloo regarding the place holder art, Naughty Dog's latest practically sizzled in its latest story clip. Other highlights this time include the latest PlayStation Plus line-up, and several big reviews – Far Cry Primal being one.

Far Cry Primal - 7/10

Despite some new additions – and a brand new setting in a largely untapped historical era – if you dig under the surface of Far Cry Primal, you'll find a remarkably well preserved edition of Far Cry 4 entombed within. As a result, if you were hoping for more of a revolution to the formula, or didn't particularly enjoy the hunting mechanics in past games, then you're best off steering clear of this title. Of course, if you're merely looking to jump back into the familiar Far Cry gameplay loop in a captivating open world, then there's still plenty of fun to be had. And at the end of the day, who on Earth doesn't want to ride around on a bear?

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 - 8/10

Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 improves upon its evergreen predecessor by expanding the scope of the title with single player content and new classes and modes. Popcap has responded to the criticisms pointed at the original release well, and while this isn't a revolution by any stretch, the format has been precisely pruned for shear joy.

Below we present our arguments, and the opportunity for you to decide our fates.

Hardware Review: How to Extend Your PS4 Controller's Battery Life

Longevity isn't exactly the DualShock 4's favourite word. Sony's latest controller may be the most comfortable that it's ever made, but if it was on a Duracell commercial, it would be one of those knock-off bunnies on its haunches staring longingly at the cotton tails of its supercharged counterparts. The PowerPak 1, an ergonomic accessory from Prif, aims to extend the life of your PlayStation 4 controller by a good 20 hours – but is it any good?

Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6 Are All Shuffling to PS4 This Year
