News Are You Cereal? Life Is Strange Is Getting a Live-Action Series
No emoji
For as much as we adore Life Is Strange, the episodic adventure had some hella cringe writing. That said, the title's angst-driven drama makes it a perfect fit for a live-action adaptation – and that's exactly what Square Enix, Dontnod, and Legendary Digital Studios have announced. The latter is no stranger to video game conversions,...
News Your Free PlayStation Plus Games for August Have Been Revealed

News Japanese Sales Charts: The PS4 Software Drought Continues
At least a new Vita game's in the top 20
We're starting to feel bad about asking you lot to give these Japanese charts articles a click - there's just nothing particularly interesting happening in the Land of the Rising Sun when it comes to Sony's systems, and it's probably going to stay that way until the PlayStation 4 gets a few new blockbusters...
News PS4 Sizzles This Summer with Hot EU PlayStation Store Deals
Lots of low prices
Sony's been doing pretty well with PlayStation Store discounts this year, and this four week European Summer Sale is decent. It spans all three PlayStation platforms, of course, but it's the PlayStation 4 offers that you'll probably be most interested in – and FIFA 16 at £15.99, Bloodborne at £19.99, and Mortal Kombat X at...
Store Update 26th July 2016 (North America)
Tasty
Dentists tell you not to indulge in too many delicacies, but when Hyper Light Drifter and Headlander are on the menu, you'd be a fool to look the other way. They're not the only treats in this week's North American PlayStation Store update, though, so we've included the full specials board below. PS4 Games: ARCADE ARCHIVES MX5000 $7.99 BLUE...

News Batman Will Be the First Telltale Game with Multiplayer
Holy social innovation, Batman
Telltale's episodic output thus far could be confidently filed in the single player drawer, but the company's trying to change that notion with its upcoming Batman series. According to ShackNews, the title will boast a new feature named Crowd Play, which will enable onlookers to vote on major narrative decisions in the...
News UK Sales Charts: There's Very Little to See Here
As you were
There's very little to talk about in this week's UK sales charts, we're afraid; LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens topped the best sellers list for a fourth consecutive week – the fourth is clearly with it. Elsewhere, the top ten is packed with typical titles, like FIFA 16, Overwatch, and Grand Theft Auto V. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End...
Push Rewind Rise of the Tomb Raider, Sonic Mania, 20 Best Games on PS4
Normal service resumed
After over a month of E3 2016 hangover, the industry finally decided to pick itself back up and get to work this week, with an absolute ton of news breaking over the past seven days. The biggest headline perhaps pertained to Rise of the Tomb Raider's PlayStation 4 version, but equally exciting was confirmation that Gravity...
News Oh Right, Sonic the Hedgehog's Spin-Dashing LEGO Dimensions
Put a ring on it
Considerably less exciting than the upcoming Sonic Mania, it's been confirmed after months of rumours and teasing that Sonic the Hedgehog will be joining the roster of Warner Bros' increasingly weird licensed love-in, LEGO Dimensions. The blue blur will be available as part of a level pack which will allow you to speed through some...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 127
Feelin' hot, hot, hot
As scorching temperatures here in the UK continue to melt away our productivity, we're not sure that we can even be arsed playing games this weekend. That said, those of you from more tropical climes may be better equipped to cope with the apocalyptic temperatures, so do let us know what you're playing in the comments section...
Talking Point What August PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?

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...

We usually give you the hot takes on all the happenings of the last fortnight, but considering the Mordor-esque...
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 Persona 5 Brings Back the Very Easy 'Safety' Difficulty Setting
Fun for everyone
In Persona 4 Golden, Atlus introduced a difficulty setting know as 'Safety'. Sitting below Easy, Safety essentially ensured that anyone could enjoy the release without having to worry about getting a Game Over screen. Characters would revive automatically if their health hit zero in combat, enemies were significantly weakened, and...
Store Update 19th July 2016 (Europe)
Are you Setsuna?
There's lots to like about this week's European PlayStation Store update, particularly if you're a fan of Japanese games. I Am Setsuna and The King of Fighters XIV demo are clearly the headliners, but there's other stuff like Gal*Gun: Double Peace worth watching out for as well. And failing all of that, there are at least a couple...
News Hype Overflows for 18 Uncut Minutes of Persona 5 on PS4
Now we're talking
Atlus has released 18 uncut minutes of Persona 5, and it looks spectacular.

The game's sales increased by a whopping 152 per cent this time, which was enough to help it overcome Monster Hunter Generations –...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Ain't Got New Games, But it Keeps Selling Anyway
The never-ending story
Well this is all a bit familiar, isn't it? Once again, the PlayStation 4 has topped the Japanese hardware charts with 22,717 units sold despite the fact that there's been bugger all releasing on the system. The PS4 "Welcome Price" version of last year's Tales of Zestiria was the only current-gen title to make it into the top...
Store Update 12th July 2016 (North America)
Lots of game
Cancel those plans for a summer holiday: there are too many games to play. Alright, so there aren't any "heavy hitters" this week, but between the likes of Assault Suit Leynos, Kill Strain, Ghostbusters, and more, you should find something that you like. And if not – well, you're too picky! PS4 Games: Assault Suit Leynos $19.99...

Space race
A humongous week for PlayStation 4 and Vita fans is headlined on the European PlayStation Store by Adr1ft and Ghostbusters – both of which are aiming to occupy the summer void.

Overwatch finished in second, while DOOM, FIFA 16, and Rocket...
Push Rewind 7 Days to Die, Adam Boyes' Exit, No Man's Sky
And not much else
It's been about as far away from being a vintage week here at Push Square Towers as is possible, with very little happening on Planet PlayStation over the past seven days. The summer's sometimes like that, though, and we're sure that there'll be an uptick in enthusiasm as Gamescom quietly draws near. Reviews: 7 Days to Die -...

News New Documentary Will Depict How PlayStation Conquered the World
And you can help fund it
PlayStation's big business these days, but that wasn't always the case. Back in the early 90s, electronics giant Sony was rather reluctant to create its own console – with its board of directors voting against Ken Kutaragi's proposal. The firm's wily CEO Norio Ohga believed in the project so much, though, that he sent the...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sells a Few Units, People Like Robots
The usual
Oh, right – the Japanese sales charts. Ramsey would rampage if he knew we'd skipped this weekly staple, so let's break it down: PlayStation 4 is continuing to sell steady in the East, and should break the three million unit milestone imminently; local gamers have been snapping up a game called Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers in...
News Dead Island's Deep Silver to Publish Persona 5 in Europe
SEGA's washing its hair
Persona 5 finally has a publisher in Europe – and its Dead Island's Deep Silver who's taking the reins. The company previously collaborated with Atlus to bring Catherine to the Old World, so it's a partnership that makes sense – though why owner SEGA can't just do it itself, we'll never know. It looks like the...

Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of June 2016
Faith, robots, valkyries, and Sol Badguy
We may be into the quieter summer months of 2016 right now, but June still managed to offer up a decent selection of PlayStation titles.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Refuses to Fall Despite Nintendo Software Dominance
PS4 sales actually increase
The PlayStation 4 is suffering from a real software drought in Japan right now, but Sony's latest console just refuses to budge from the top of the hardware charts.

God bleater
It's another decent weekly update for the North American PlayStation Store, as anticipated Japanese role-playing game Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness launches on Sony's latest console alongside The Technomancer and the current-gen port of Resident Evil 5. Unlike Europe, however, you lucky buggers get God Eater Resurrection. Bah!...

Football crazy
DOOM has managed to retain its place at the top of the UK software charts, much to the disappointment of FIFA 16, which, we imagine in part thanks to Euro 2016, has been steadily moving towards the summit. Sales of id Software's shooter actually declined rather sharply, but the drop wasn't enough to knock the game from its impressive...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Returns to Top Spot Despite Distinct Lack of New Games
Here we are again
It's been another incredibly quiet week for PlayStation in Japan as only one new title, Root Letter, released on Sony's latest system - and those sales figures aren't even worth mentioning.

Loads of EA titles up for grabs, too
It feels like Homefront: The Revolution only just released, but that hasn't stopped the predictably bland sandbox shooter from being the PlayStation Store's latest Deal of the Week.

E3 2016 Persona 5 Won't Have a Japanese Voice Option in the West
Dub snubbed
Bad news if you're a fan of original Japanese voice work: Persona 5 will only feature English voice acting here in the West, with no option to change it. Not a massive surprise, perhaps, seeing as both Persona 3 and Persona 4 didn't have an optional Japanese dub either, but a slight disappointment nonetheless. However, we reckon it's...
