News Japanese Sales Charts: The Division Puts a Bullet in the Competition on PS4
Critical hit
Tom Clancy's The Division has started life impressively well in Japan, topping the software charts on PlayStation 4. Ubisoft's role-playing shooter hybrid sold through a very healthy 80,703 copies, which was more than enough to place it above the likes of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Elsewhere, the new Summon Night game...
News Almost Every Big PS4 Game Discounted in Gigantic EU PSN Sale
Better than a chocolate egg
"It just keeps going", editor Sammy Barker remarked upon checking out the EU PlayStation Store's gigantic Easter sale - and he's not wrong. Spread across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita, the amount of discounted games seems endless - but at least that means you're more likely to find something that tickles your...

Para-on
As in Europe, it's EA Sports UFC 2 and Salt and Sanctuary that are the headline new additions to the North American PlayStation Store this week – though those of you over the Atlantic also have Bubble Bobble to keep you entertained. Other additions include the Paragon Early Access pack, as well as Senran Kagura Estival Versus, too. PS4...
News Naughty Dog PS4, PS3 Games Are Going Cheap on US PSN
Not so crap, crap, crap
Arguably one of the industry's most revered development studios, Naughty Dog has pumped out some absolute corkers over the last decade or so, and they're all on sale on the North American PlayStation Store right now. On PlayStation 4, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and The Last of Us Remastered are both up for grabs...
Weirdness Uncharted Hero Nathan Drake's Killed 1,829 People
Oh, crap
Uncharted protagonist Nathan Drake may be a loveable rogue, but many people often point out that he's also a homicidal maniac. But just how deadly is the chiselled treasure hunter? IGN crunched the numbers, and determined that across three games, the pathological pretty boy has slaughtered 1,829 people. That figure, by the way, does not...
Store Update 15th March 2016 (Europe)
Tale of the tape
It's the quietest week on the European PlayStation Store in a long, long time – but that doesn't mean the plaza's pulling any punches. EA Sports UFC 2 is arguably the biggest new arrival, but the hotly anticipated Salt & Sanctuary is also out today. This week also sees the arrival of Paragon's early access option, which is...

News Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pops Out of the Sewers This May on PS4, PS3
Turtle power
Platinum Games' take on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles hits PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 this May. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan should be a solid nostalgia trip for anyone who grew up with the green goodies back in the 90s, and with the well known Japanese developer behind the wheel, we have to imagine that...
News UK Sales Charts: The Division Breaks Records and Sells Best on PS4
Nothing divisive about this
Ubisoft has ended up with two games at the top of the latest UK software charts, with Tom Clancy's The Division and Far Cry Primal leading the pack. The former has actually broken Gran Turismo 4's record for having the biggest ever Quarter 1 launch in the UK, which has been in place since 2005. Overall, though, The...
Push Rewind The Division, Hitman PS4, and Uncharted 4
The big guns
This was a big week for new releases, with both The Division and Hitman arriving on the PlayStation 4. Just like the rest of the press, we weren't able to get our hands on Ubisoft Massive's Manhattan-based shooter until launch day, so those waiting for a review can anticipate one once we've fully put it through its paces. You'll find...

Hardware Review Hori Real Arcade Pro 4 Kai - Stick Joy
King of the Kontrollers
Capcom may have slightly fumbled the launch of Street Fighter V, but there's no denying that the title is a formidable addition to the company's long and proud lineage in a genre that it has arguably dominated since the early 90s. However, as any truly dedicated player will tell you over and over, the interface you use to...
News February 2016 NPD: PS4 Extends Its Lead as US Sales Shrink
Sony's system up year-over-year yet again
We suppose that these NPD reports are starting to get a little bittersweet. As has been the case since launch, the PlayStation 4 is really thriving in the United States, and it's once again managed to register yet another consecutive month of growth. But while the graphs at Sony keep pointing upwards, the...

Urban chaos
We're a little late posting the North American PlayStation Store update, but we're sure that you'll forgive us this transgression as we were busy protecting Manhattan from looters. The big new release this week, then, is The Division – but it's been accompanied by a whole host of hot digital downloads. Let's get stuck in. PS4 Games:...

Meching up the numbers
Ah, nothing like a good Gundam game to shake up the Japanese hardware and software charts, eh? Gundam Breaker 3 blasted into first and second place on PlayStation 4 and Vita respectively, selling through a reasonably impressive 141,219 copies in total - now we just need to hope that the mech-'em-up has found enough success to...

Store Update 8th March 2016 (Europe)
A big week for PS4
There are a fair few PlayStation 4 games hitting the PlayStation Store this week in Europe. The headliner here is obviously Tom Clancy's The Division, but there's a nice amount of variety elsewhere, with PlayStation Plus Vote to Play nominees Action Henk and Assault Android Cactus adding some flavour. What's more, Hitman, Samurai...
News Square Enix Isn't Happy with the Quality of Star Ocean 5 on PS3
Last-gen blues
Sony's last-gen console is almost a decade old, but thanks to Japan's shifting gaming market, many Japanese publishers are reluctant to miss out on the potential sales that the PlayStation 3's large install base can provide. However, continuing to develop titles for such an old platform isn't always ideal, as evidenced by the news...
News UK Sales Charts: Heavy Rain, Beyond PS4 Chart as Far Cry Primal Stays Strong
Knack's back
Far Cry Primal stayed top of the club in this week's UK sales charts, fending off strong competition from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. Evergreen action game Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 slipped down into third, while favourites Call of Duty: Black Ops III and FIFA 16 rounded out the top ten. There was

Heavy Rain PS4 review, podcast, and more

You may need a lie down after this week's Push Rewind...
News Street Fighter V Seems to Have Flopped Pretty Freakin' Hard
Knock out
Street Fighter V got off to a shoddy start in the UK sales charts, and did similarly sucky in its home nation of Japan. However, we'd secretly been hoping that it would find its feet on the PlayStation Store, but that doesn't appear to be the case. In fact, the mechanically m

News Hooray, Star Ocean 5's English Voices Don't Sound Too Bad
Stop and listen
As teased yesterday, Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness' first English-voiced trailer has hit the 'net, and thankfully, the cast seem to do a pretty decent job. That said, if you're looking for brand new footage, you won't find it here - this is actually just a localised version of a previous gameplay and cutscene trailer that...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of February 2016
Zombies, anime, street fighters, and monsters of a digital kind
February's Game of the Month vote wasn't an easy one, as three separate titles found themselves tied for our prestigious award at one point – but we got there in the end. While the month itself won't be remembered for its blockbuster releases, it's safe to say that it was actually a...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Unimpressive Software Numbers Can't Stop PS4
Sony sticks to the top
There's not really too much to say about the latest Japanese hardware and software charts, but we'll be damned if we're going to miss out on this weekly article. Starting on the software side of things, the top 20 was bombarded by the new Kamen Rider game, which is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita, but...
Store Update 1st March 2016 (North America)
Plenty to pick from
This week's North American PlayStation Store update included a mighty clanger, teasing that pre-orders would open for No Man's Sky later this week. That information's since been removed, but the billion other releases included in the plaza's latest re-stock haven't. There's so much to get through we're not even going to rattle...

In its most recent livestream of Star Ocean 5: Integrity and Faithlessness, publisher Square Enix detailed how the action role-playing game will differ across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. While both versions of the release will feature the same content, it looks like the new-gen edition will boast some advantages,...
News UK Sales Charts: Far Cry Primal Shows Its Teeth to Plants vs. Zombies
All change, please
This week's UK sales chart is a little bit different, much to the relief of every single one of you who reads these articles. Far Cry Primal has roared its way to the top of the club, etching its name in the number one slot like a hasty cave painting. It bettered Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, which entered in second...

Ooh boy, the highlight this week has to be that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End trailer, doesn't it?

No, this is actually just a quick heads up that the service will be undergoing maintenance early next month. On the 2nd March, the...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Falls Short on PS4
Not quite a knockout
We're afraid that it's yet more disappointing news for Street Fighter V, as its opening Japanese sales figures are in. We already know that the brawler hasn't done especially well here in the UK, and it turns out that it hasn't quite set Japan alight, either. Capcom's latest sold through 41,990 copies on PlayStation 4, which...

News The Pressure's on in The Walking Dead: Michonne
Dead or alive
We'd almost forgotten that The Walking Dead games can literally be boiled down to a spate of trying decisions, but the launch trailer for upcoming mini-series Michonne hammers that point home, showing the titular hero stressed up to the eyeballs as she tries to survive in a harsh post-apocalyptic world. We'd rather feed our brains to...

After Konami's faffing around with some rather important transfer updates for PES 2016 last year, it promised that all owners would get the upcoming Euro 2016 DLC for free, instead of having to buy it. Still, our friends at Eurogamer have reported that Konami has announced that only 15 out of the 24 teams in Euro 2016...
News UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Cowers to the Power of Street Fighter IV
Maybe it should reconsider its fist?
Street Fighter V hasn't got off to a great start in the UK sales charts, failing to KO Street Fighter IV's week one sales record all the way back in 2009. While some will see this as a sharp decline, it's perhaps worth remembering that the game did only release on one system, and will have seen a much larger...
