  • Review Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS-Force (PS Vita)

    Full Bust

    The PlayStation Vita has its first Gundam game here in the West, and unfortunately, it's not that great. A spin-off from Japan's super popular Gundam VS series, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS-Force is essentially a watered-down edition of the arcade action property with a focus on single player content. Directly comparing this portable...

  • Talking Point What August PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?

    Take your pick

    The summer months are melting away faster than our internal organs in the current UK heatwave, and that means that it's already time to start thinking about August's free PlayStation Plus games. July saw the addition of new release Furi and comical classic Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell on the PlayStation 4, capping a decent spell for...

  • Review Obliteracers (PS4)

    Micro machines

    Obliteracers is a cute, party-focused kart racing game with a medley of different playful weapons to pick-up and a selection of unorthodox looking characters to choose from. Sound familiar? Well, that's because it's a genre that has been well-and-truly mastered elsewhere, although it's also one that's surprisingly sparse on...

  • News No Man's Sky's Trade PS4 Trailer Will Fuel Your Hype

    Trade up

    Sony's continuing its Guide to the Galaxy video series by spotlighting how trading will work in No Man's Sky. This brand new clip shows how you'll travel to different planets in order to collect resources, and then exchange these goods with nearby traders in order to unlock better weapons and ship parts. It's a simple loop, but should prove...

  • News Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare PS4 Gameplay Keeps Its Boots on the Ground

    My God! It's full of stars

    Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare may have felt the full wrath of YouTube's deadly dislike button, but we're really starting to like the look of this game. Activision has uploaded the first ten or so minutes of Infinity Ward's new first-person shooter online, which opens with a ground-based battle, before blasting off into...

  • News 'The Future Is Bright' for Destiny, Says Bungie

    Studio teases big things to come

    It's been a couple of weeks since we last wrote about Destiny, which has got to be some sort of record, right? All's been quiet on the sci-fi shooter's front, as most fans are waiting patiently for September's Rise of Iron expansion, but that hasn't stopped developer Bungie from hyping up "the future" of the game...

  • News Try PlayStation VR at EGX 2016 Ahead of Launch

    The future is now

    Still not sure about PlayStation VR? We totally understand – though we think you'll have a change of heart once you give it a go. Fortunately, Sony's announced that it will be bringing the headset to EGX 2016 in September, allowing UK gamers to get their eyes on the tech ahead of its official 13th October launch. You'll need to...

  • News Wonder Woman, Blue Beetle Battle It Out in Injustice 2

    DC Comics dust-up

    San Diego Comic-Con is on right now, and as is an annual tradition, plenty of new characters are being announced for fighting games. We already got confirmation that Juri will be challenging Street Fighter V next week, and now NetherRealm Studios has revealed that Wonder Woman and Blue Beetle will be joining Injustice 2's roster...

  • Review Gal*Gun: Double Peace (PS4)

    Between a rod and a hard place

    The last time we strutted through a school targeting ladies with our love shots, Interpol got involved. In fact, we're not sure whether penning this review is a violation of our parole conditions – we try not to let legal proceedings get in the way of our quest to bring you the best PlayStation coverage available,...

  • Feature The Best Games on PS4 - Summer 2016 Edition

    Cream of the crop

    'Tis the most controversial time of the year, when we categorise the top 20 games available on the PlayStation 4 right now, and cause the odd coronary with our provocative picks. Seriously, though, everyone has their own personal favourites, but these are the titles that we'd have no hesitation recommending to new owners of Sony's...

  • Video We Unboxed a Brand New PocketStation

    Because why not?

    With our attempts at creating meaningful YouTube content either drawing indifference or ire, we figured that we'd do something really dumb today – like, unbox a brand new Sony PocketStation dumb. Your humble host snagged this on eBay a few years ago, and it's been sitting in its packet ever since. Why? Because… Well, that...

  • News Final Fantasy XV Has Dialogue Options

    Blah blah blah

    Dialogue options are talking their way into Final Fantasy XV - is there anything that this game doesn't have? As Noctis, you'll be able to choose how he responds during specific conversations both within and outside of the main story. Your choice will, unsurprisingly, alter how things play out, although we doubt that they'll ever have...

  • News Bloody Nora, Gravity Rush 2 Looks Superb on PS4

    Meow

    Phwoar! Gravity Rush 2 releases later this year, and is almost guaranteed to be one of 2016's sleeper hits. Sony showed off some new gameplay footage at a presentation in Japan this week, and it's found its way online. While this has all been captured off-screen in pretty low-quality, it demonstrates just how diverse the game's environmental...

  • News World of Final Fantasy May Be a Spin-Off, But It Definitely Shouldn't Be Ignored

    Step aside, Noctis

    The more that we see of World of Final Fantasy, the more we begin to think that this cutesy little role-playing release could be one of the property's best products in quite some time. With the game due out near the end of October, it's no surprise that it's currently being overshadowed by Final Fantasy XV, but we'd urge you to at...

  • News Jury's Out on Juri in Street Fighter V on PS4 Next Week

    Here comes a new challenger

    Street Fighter V's next update will see the catsuit clad S.I.N. agent Juri join the roster of the PlayStation 4 exclusive game – and it's due 26th July, so you haven't got long to wait. First introduced in Super Street Fighter IV, the pigtailed temptress is a trained specialist in Taekwondo, and focuses on fast, flashy...

  • News Marco Reus Makes a Run for the Front Cover of FIFA 17

    German efficiency

    FIFA 17's cover star has been revealed, no doubt prompting a cheer from Borussia Dortmund fans. After a long public voting process, you can look forward to seeing Marco Reus' mug on the upcoming footy sim's box. He beat Chelsea's Eden Hazard, Real Madrid's James Rodriguez, and Manchester United's Anthony Martial to the punch. Is...

  • News Toukiden 2's Opening Movie Will Get You in the Mood for Some Demon Slaying

    The bigger they are

    Koei Tecmo's revealed Toukiden 2's opening CG movie, and it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect. A non-specific main character teams up with the sequel's refreshed cast and they hack a giant Oni to bits in stylish fashion. Hey, at least the video's being true to the game. Still, it's worth a watch if you're looking to inject...

  • Review Dex (PS4)

    Cyberpunk'd

    Dex is an open world, side scrolling, action RPG that takes place in a far future Cyberpunk setting, and appears to have taken some inspiration from classic Metroid and Castlevania games. This combination seems like a gamer's dream come true, however developer Dreadlocks seem to have neglected including enjoyable gameplay, instead...

  • Review Adr1ft (PS4)

    Space oddity

    In this reviewer's opinion, space disaster is one of the most interesting concepts in entertainment. You have the likes of Gravity, Apollo 18, and The Martian in film, Seveneves in literature, and Alien Isolation in games. Adr1ft, the debut game from developer Three One Zero, now joins the party following its PlayStation 4 release...

  • News You Must Try Life Is Strange on PS4, PS3 Now It's Free

    It's hella good

    It's hard to imagine a game in the past couple of decades that's more suited to this author's tastes than Life Is Strange. DONTNOD's decidedly divisive episodic adventure is like a John Green novel in gaming form, pairing the teenage mystery of Paper Towns with the heartbreaking plot threads of The Fault in Our Stars. If you're a fan...

  • News Rocket League's PS4-Xbox One Cross-Network Play Is Ready to Go

    But the ball's still in Sony's court

    Oh right, we'd forgotten about this. Those of you with really long memories will recall Microsoft suddenly changing its policy regarding cross-network play a few months back, putting Sony on the spot by suggesting that it wants Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players to play together. We're sure that the current...

  • News Here's Your First Look at Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4

    Square Enix targeting 1080p, 30 frames-per-second

    Following yesterday's not-so surprise news, Square Enix has released a trailer for Rise of the Tomb Raider on the PlayStation 4 – but you'll need to sit through a few minutes of nostalgia before you get to it. The embedded video looks back at 20 years

  • News What the Heck Is Going On with Shu's Twitter Account?

    #Xbox4Ever

    Lovable Sony suit Shuhei Yoshida is a frequent presence on Twitter, engaging with fans and industry figureheads, promoting all things PlayStation, and occasionally letting us know what he's been playing lately. His total number of tweets at the time of typing amounts is about 43,200 – it seems he's as keen on his social media as he is...

  • Hands On Is King of Fighters XIV on PS4 Worthy of Its Royal Title?

    Return of the king

    Some of us here at Push Square are looking forward to King of Fighters XIV. Honest. Which is lucky, given that a playable demo landed on the PlayStation Store yesterday, giving us a chance to try out this somewhat divisive entry in the series – and we're happy to report that the title shows great promise. But first, let's...

  • News System Shock Hacks into the PS4 Following Fan Demand

    No shock

    You may have read elsewhere that a System Shock remake is in the works. The game, in development at Nightdive Studios, took to Kickstarter some three weeks ago – without a PlayStation 4 version on the cards. It's since accrued over $1 million in crowd funding and has passed its target, but many refused to fund it until a version for...

    Naughty Dog still batting about ideas

    Were you expecting Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's single player expansion pack to be announced imminently? Maybe put your anticipation on ice a little bit – it may be some way away. Speaking with Twinfinite at pop culture convention Supernova in Sydney, voice actor Troy Baker – who played Nathan Drake's...

  • News Fallout 4 Patch 1.6 Is Out Now on PS4

    ExitSaves and more names for Codsworth

    Fallout 4's latest update has arrived on PlayStation 4, but don't get too excited just yet. Patch 1.6 is available to download right now, but it doesn't add, tweak, or fix all that much. The biggest addition comes in the ability to create an 'ExitSave' when quitting the game, whether you're playing in survival...

  • News Players Are Apparently Smarter Than Ever in FIFA 17

    Space ace

    Your computer controlled teammates will supposedly be smarter than ever before in FIFA 17 - a statement that comes as no real surprise since EA Sports seems to say it almost every year. According to the footy sim's latest trailer, the artificial intelligence can manage and use space on the pitch impressively well, darting into the open and...

  • Video Is The Warriors Worth Revisiting on PS4?

    Streets of rampage

    The game based on the movie based on the book is back, as The Warriors stealth released on the PlayStation 4 recently as part of Sony's PlayStation 2 ports initiative. In our latest livestream, we figured that we'd give the brawler the once over – and you can watch us get busy with our fists above.
