  • Store Update 30th September 2015 (Europe)

    Epic bail

    Sony puts less effort into these European PlayStation Store update posts with each passing week – but then we suppose it is a thankless task, seeing as they're always followed by a stream of frustrating comments. Either way, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is the biggie this week. It apparently sucks. PS4 Games: Arcade Archives Moon...

  • Store Update 29th September 2015 (North America)

    Pull shapes

    It's not the most impressive week on the North American PlayStation Store when the broken Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is the biggest highlight, but then we suppose specific audiences would shout that NBA 2K16 or Persona 4 Dancing All Night deserve the recognition. Whatever your poison, make sure you let us know in the comments section...

  • News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Remains Viable As PS4 Prepares Itself for Rebirth

    Calm before the storm

    The PlayStation 4's taken another tumble as its Japanese price drop nears, selling through just over 4000 units. Sony's newest console should see something of a rebirth once the cut hits early next month, but it remains to be seen whether or not the price drop will have a lasting positive effect on sales without any blockbuster...

  • News October's PlayStation Plus Lineup Is Going to P*** People Off

    Oh dear

    Oh no! Oh no! Batten down the hatches, adopt the foetal position, and keep out of every PlayStation owner's way – because next month's PlayStation Plus update really is a bad one. There's been plenty of criticism pointed at Sony's service over the past 18 months or so, but we've always felt that there have been redeeming qualities to the...

  • News October PlayStation Plus Games to Be Revealed Very Soon

    What could possibly await us?

    Can you believe that we're only a day away from October? Despairing at how fast life passes us by aside, we've usually had confirmation of next month's PlayStation Plus games by now, but there's been no word of what's on the menu yet. Of course, Sony's never been one to stick to particular dates, so it's no surprise...

  • News PlayStation Dominates EDGE's Greatest Ever Games

    Cream of the crop

    World regarded rag EDGE has compiled a list of the 100 greatest ever video games – and PlayStation has secured four of the top five slots. Dark Souls topped the list, with Grand Theft Auto V, The Last of Us, Bloodborne, and Half-Life 2 rounding out the top five. Sony must be rubbings its hands over that lineup – especially with...

  • News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 16 Shoots Straight to the Top of the League

    Back of the net

    There are absolutely no surprises in this week's UK sales chart, as FIFA 16 has rifled one right into the top corner – and finished top of the league. Sales of the soccer simulation were slightly down compared to last year's entry, but it sold best on the PlayStation 4, and by all accounts still did pretty darn well...

  • Push Rewind Uncharted PS4, EGX 2015, and PlayStation Plus

    Catching up

    It's been a different kind of week here at Push Square Towers, as we've been out on the road sampling all of the gaming morsels on display at EGX 2015 this weekend. Hopefully we managed to tide you over with a hearty helping of hands-on impressions, though, from Mirror's Edge Catalyst right the way through to Ratchet & Clank. Here...

  • Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 86

    In a hurry

    Type Sammy, type! It's the eve of EGX 2015, so we're putting together WAYP abnormally early this time. Of course, you won't know that because you'll be reading this increasingly unnecessary pre-amble on Saturday. Here's everything that the team are planning to play this weekend. Alex Stinton, Reviewer: This weekend, I'll be descending...

  • News Twitch App to Stream to PS4, PS3, and Vita This Year

    Watch people play games on your games console

    The stream scene has been twitching for one very important feature since the PlayStation 4's launch: a native Twitch app allowing all broadcasts to be viewed on the new-gen console. There's good news coming out of TwitchCon 2015 today, then, as it's been announced that a new client will deploy on the...

  • News Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Won't Ship with a Campaign on PS3

    Blacklisted

    If you're still killing your free time on the PlayStation 3 and had high hopes for Call of Duty: Black Ops III this November, you're going to be a wee bit disappointed with what ships - if you're a single player fan anyway. Activision and Treyarch has announced that the last-gen iteration of the futuristic shooter won't be getting a...

  • News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hit New Low as Price Drop Nears

    All in good time

    The PlayStation 4's been ticking along in its native Japan for some time, but it rarely racks up any amazing numbers unless a slew of big new-gen games all launch within a few weeks of each other. Last week's belated figures make for some rather dire reading, then, as Sony's latest box managed to hit its lowest total in months. The...

  • News Batman and The Last of Us Head Big PS4 Deals in EU PSN Sale

    Crash Bandicoot and Spyro also up for grabs

    Bit of a weird sale, this one, as Sony's slashed the price on a load of different titles that range from the recent Batman: Arkham Knight to the retro Crash Bandicoot. Speaking of which, you can pick up the caped crusader's latest for £39.99, which isn't great, but at least there are several better deals...

  • Store Update 22nd September 2015 (North America)

    Take your pick

    Anyone else noticed the curious increase in PSone Classics on the North American PlayStation Store of late? Interesting that, isn't it? Not that this week's selection of Puzzle Star Sweep and, er, Racing is worth getting giddy about – but it almost seems like Sony's gearing up for something, doesn't it? Hmm. PS4 Games: Afro...

  • News Kinda Funny Games Returns to the PlayStation Podcasting Scene

    Beyond the grave

    Naturally we think that Push Square is the best PlayStation website on the net, but we're not oblivious to the great content available elsewhere. One of this author's favourites was always Podcast Beyond, the flagship IGN podcast featuring Greg Miller and Colin Moriarty. There's good news, then, for fans of the old show – as it's...

  • Store Update 22nd September 2015 (Europe)

    Back of the net

    European PlayStation Store update cliché #112: it's a humdinger of a week on Sony's virtual plaza. FIFA 16 is perhaps the hottest highlight this time, but spare a thought for SOMA and Curve Digital's big Instant Indie Collection, too. What are you buying? PS4 Games: EA SPORTS FIFA 16 (Out 22/09/15, varies by...

  • Poll Has Destiny Won You Back With The Taken King?

    Is the cryptarch calling?

    Destiny: The Taken King is out and fans of Bungie's shooter have probably spent their last weekend grinding themselves into dust. If internet reactions are anything to go by, then the game's third and biggest expansion has been met with a reasonably positive reception. Veteran players seem to like the changes, and lapsed...

  • News UK Sales Charts: Destiny: The Taken King Takes the Crown

    More than half the copies sold on PS4

    Activision unveiled some pretty impressive statistics for Destiny: The Taken King last week, so it's no surprise to see the first-person semi-sequel shoot to the top of the UK sales charts. The game sold best on the PlayStation 4 – surprise, surprise – scooping up a whopping 57 per cent of the sales...
