News PlayStation 3 Owners "Can Probably Hope For" A Crysis 2 Demo
Considering Crysis 2 is a multiplatform game, Crytek's been mighty silent about the shooter on PlayStation 3
While both PC and XBOX 360 gamers have had access to a demo of the sci-fi shooter for a while, PlayStation 3 hasn't gotten so much as a sniff. But executive producer, Nathan Camarillo, told PSU that we "can probably hope for a...
News January NPD 2011: LittleBigPlanet 2 Charts High As Dance Games Dominate
One things for sure, whether we "get" dancing games or not -- they just aren't going away

That...

And just as we decide to post the game's amazing trailer, we get a gush of new information about Techland's resurrected survival horror title, Dead Island

News Literally Everyone's Talking About This Dead Island Trailer (It's Pretty Good)
When IGN started hyping up the trailer to a long forgotten game, we were a little dismissive
Long forgotten means not very good, right? Otherwise it wouldn't be forgotten. Turns out we've never heard of Techland's Dead Island before. Apparently it was announced in 2007. We don't remember so, yes, long forgotten is apt. But why didn't we report on...
News Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow DLC Sadly Delayed Until March
Having played the brilliant Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow as one of our Christmas catch-up games (yes, even we have those), we were rather looking forward to MercurySteam's continuation of the narrative with the previously announced "Reverie" DLC
Unfortunately the additional single-player content has been pushed back until March as per an...

PSwhen?
With the PlayStation 3 slowly coming into its own, and the excellent looking NGP on the horizon, SCE boss Kaz Hirai has revealed that the platform holder aren't even thinking about the PlayStation 4 right now. Which probably doesn't mean there's not an R&D team working on it, but it's clearly not part of the company's immediate plans...
News ... And The Catherine Demo Is Back On The PlayStation Store
The saga of Atlus' Catherine demo is almost as bemusing as the game itself

So much content. And it's free (in kinds). The latest batch of goodies for subscribers comes from SEGA, with a bunch of Mega Drive Genesis classics pledged for the PlayStation Network at a grand cost of zilch. While the European PlayStation Blog is a little more cagey with details (don't worry,...

News Is Warhawk's Successor Finally Going To Get An Announcement?
Dylan Jobe's Lightbox Interactive have been curiously silent over the last couple of months

News Disney Announces Cars 2: The Video Game, Same Team As Toy Story 3: The Video Game
We'd have thrown this press-release regarding Cars 2: The Video Game in the recycle bin if it weren't for a little tid-bit about the developer

Aksys has whipped fighting fans into a frenzy, confirming that a localised version of the bizarre Arcana Heart 3 will be released on the North American PlayStation Store this Spring

News Newest Alice: Madness Returns Trailer Earns A Big Fat 10/10 From Us
Long-time readers of PushSquare will already be aware of our minor obsession with anything Alice In Wonderland related

News We're Still Not Sure About Shadows Of The Damned...
When Shinji Mikami revealed he was working on a new PS3 title with Grasshopper's Suda51, we immediately jumped to all the wrong conclusions: survival horror, bonkers art-style, weird psychological narrative, awesome
Unfortunately, the reality of the collaboration, Shadows Of The Damned, has done nothing but disappoint us. Maybe our expectations were...
News Transformers: Dark Of The Moon's Video Game Tie-In Looks A Bit Like This...
Following this afternoon's announcement, High Moon Studios has released a teaser trailer for Transformers: Dark Of The Moon's video game tie-in
We've just got one question still lingering from the release of the original Michael Bay movie: why is Bumblebee so cool? He was a twit in the original animated series.</em>
News Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Sells A Colosseum Full Of Copies
Probably the most interesting tid-bit from Ubisoft's financial call today -- aside from the publisher's 'dancing game' business being a success of 'hammertime' proportions -- was the news that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood has surpassed 6
5 million units shipped. That's a helluva lot of back-stabbing. We always thought it was mankind's guilty...
News Rocksteady Reiterates That Batman: Arkham City Is A Single-Player Only Experience
Rumours about Batman: Arkham City's multiplayer status have been swirling ever since the game was announced some time ago

News Good Grief, Duke Nukem Forever's Campaign Is 16-18 Hours Long
The general consensus seems to be that Duke Nukem Forever is an old-school shooter
Run into a room, face a hundred monsters, circle strafe and shoot, rinse and repeat. There's nothing wrong with throwback at all, in fact games like Bionic Commando Rearmed and Super Street Fighter IV have had tremendous commercial success because of their reverence...

News Mirror's Edge 2 On Hold, Watch As We Weep Silently Into Our Pillow
Mirror's Edge was a sequel away from perfection
EA and DICE's brilliant first-person parkour title was so unique that it didn't get everything right first time around. We're convinced that with a couple of years additional development, and the benefit of hindsight, Mirror's Edge 2 could have been something magical. But the original launched in 2008...

As you might be aware, The Bayformers are back this year, promising more hap-hazard writing and slow-motion CGI

News Play With Dead Space 2's Developers This Weekend, Earn In-Game Suit
We're not totally convinced by the longevity of Dead Space 2's competitive multiplayer mode, but it's a fine addition to the package
The gameplay is fun in short-bursts, and while we don't expect it to have anywhere near the tail of other multiplayer titles, it's a nice palette cleanser between long stretches with the game's campaign mode. Those...

News inFamous 2 Gunning For "More Believable" Moral Choices, New Footage Within
"With great power, comes great responsibility," is one of the most famous lines in comic book history, so we understand why it's imperative inFamous 2 nails its morality system

News Zipper Respectfully Dubs SOCOM 4 The First "Real" SOCOM Game On PS3
Zipper Interactive are super-nice, professional developers
So they're put in a hard place with SOCOM 4. Undoubtedly the franchise's popularity has been hindered by the slightly rubbish PSN release, SOCOM: Confrontation. But that game wasn't developed by Zipper, and so the studio are clearly having to carefully state, "Hey, SOCOM 4 is the first...

The more we think back to Namco and Ninja Theory's Enslaved, the more we realise how much we enjoyed it

News Duke Nukem Forever: Balls Of Steel Edition Includes A Bunch Of Crap You Don't Really Want
We're not sure where we stand with collector's editions anymore
At first we thought they were a really novel addition to really big releases, but now that every game gets one, they're starting to feel less special. What's more, the stuff that's included is getting a bit predictable. We suppose they are still great for real fans of the franchises...

News We're Not Sure What To Make Of This Hunted: The Demon's Forge Trailer
On one hand, Hunted: The Demon's Forge is a presentable idea: a classic fantasy title designed with Gears Of War in mind
On the other hand, it's a terrible idea: a classic fantasy title designed with Gears Of War in mind. We like the cover-based shooters, but we're kinda bored of the Tolkien cliches. Could go either way this one. Check the trailer...
News Things Ain't Looking So Hot For DJ Hero Developers FreeStyle Games
Fact: DJ Hero, and particularly its sequel, are amazing games
Fact: DJ Hero underperformed at retail. Fact: Activision just killed Guitar Hero. Fact: People are probably going to lose their jobs. Which really sucks because there's clearly piles and piles of talent at the British studio behind the scratch-em-up, FreeStyle Games. Like we said, the DJ...

Director David O
Russell's fanned more flames in the faces of Uncharted fanboys, comparing the movie's family dynamic to The Sopranos. In an interview with IGN, Russell explain that the movie would hone in on the tale of a "tough" criminal family. I think if we take that family dynamic that we have in The Fighter, and put that in terms...
News Blizzard Are Actively Investigating Diablo For Consoles
We've come to the conclusion that we have zero interest in Blizzard's gaming portfolio
Perhaps our ambivalence stems from our console background — as opposed to PC — but either way, the seemingly inevitable announcement of Diablo, Starcraft or Warcraft on PS3 would do nothing to excite us. Of course, Diablo in particular has been on PlayStation...

News PlayStation 3 Sales Top 1.1 Million In Australia
To be honest, we're amazed any of the platform holders sell any consoles in Australia at all
