All of that foraging paid off
Naughty Dog’s hard work porting re-release The Last of Us Remastered to the PlayStation 4 wasn’t for nothing, as the next-gen escapade has attained the fifth biggest launch of the year in the UK – an impressive feat considering that 90 per cent of the nation’s living it up in Alicante right now. It also secured...

Firm really looking forward to the show
Conventions are like clickers: they sneak up on you. We’ve only just washed our hands of E3 2014 a few months back, but already GamesCom 2014 is lurking – and as usual, Sony is planning to have a pretty big presence at the show. A recent leak revealed that announcements may include

News This New Trailer for JRPG The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is Absurdly Dramatic
A roguish rogue-like
The PlayStation 3 may be getting fewer and fewer new titles with each passing day, but that doesn't mean the console's completely dried up. The Awakened Fate Ultimatum is a good example of a game that's gracing the system in its retirement years, and the distinctive JRPG recently received a new trailer. However, as is often the...
News Some People Still Can't Get Enough of Chris Redfield's Biceps in Resident Evil 5
Punch that rock really hard
It’s hard to believe, but Resident Evil 5 released to mixed responses over five years ago.

News This Is What the Folks Behind Far Cry 4 Call Work
Green eyed monster
Making games is not easy. In addition to the excruciatingly long hours, technical challenges, and budget-based pressures, you also have to deal with idiotic online forum posters tossing obscenities at your title when given the opportunity. For the folks behind Far Cry 4, however, things aren’t all bad, as key members of the team...
Review Sacred 3 (PlayStation 3)
Nothing is sacred
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, while not what you’d call a big success, still managed to garner quite a following among a certain set of gamers, even in spite of a few rough edges.

Review El Chavo Kart (PlayStation 3)
Chilli con carnage
Many game developers have tried to enter the kart racing genre, but all with the exception of Crash Bandicoot have failed to score a podium place next to Super Mario.

Sweat shop
Sony seems fairly fond of gigantic cross-platform sales these days, and this latest summer offering looks set to turn up the temperature yet again.

Store Update 30th July 2014 (Europe)
Big break
Make no mistake: The Last of Us Remastered is the big new addition to the European PlayStation Store this week. Alas, we’re running out of Joel and Ellie flavoured thumbnail images at this point, so we figured that we better rack up a Pure Pool picture instead. Chalk it up to variety. Sorry.

News More People Participated in the Destiny Beta Than You Can Possibly Imagine
Intergalactic anticipation
Bungie made it incredibly easy to participate in the Destiny beta, suggesting that it was perhaps as much a marketing tool as it was a server stress test. A single pre-order netted you three codes to share with friends, while the whole thing opened up to everybody towards the end. Still, if you’re asking people to...
News Switched Systems? Transfer Your Diablo III Progress from 360 to PS4
Ultimate evil
There’s a bit of a ruthless streak about Sony at the minute. The manufacturer appears to realise that it’s converted ex-Xbox 360 owners to its next-gen machine, and so it’s offering a variety of sweeteners in order to aid that transition.

Review Might & Magic: Duel of Champions - Forgotten Wars (PlayStation 3)
Pay £7.99 for tagline
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Might & Magic: Duel of Champions - Forgotten Wars is some kind of trading card video game, but that’s short-sighted. No, it’s an investment opportunity of a lifetime – a chance to hand out huge amounts of money in return for digital versions of cards that your other half probably...
News August PlayStation Plus Leaked Lineup Dismissed by Devs
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Don’t believe everything that you read on the web. Overnight, popular website GamePur reported that August’s supposedly ‘eclectic’ roster of PlayStation Plus freebies had been leaked – but developers have since emerged to dismiss the reports. The site claimed – citing a Russian source – that the goodies in Europe...
Review Rogue Legacy (PlayStation 4)
Castle smashers
There are plenty of brutal indies that'll put your dexterity to the test on Sony platforms. The likes of Spelunky and Cloudberry Kingdom represent a somewhat niche, but addictive genre.

Review The Swapper (PlayStation 4)
The clone wars
The world of human cloning is a scientific nightmare, and in The Swapper you'll tackle that minefield head on. Curve Studios' latest indie conversion attempts to use a clever puzzle mechanic to examine and answer complex metaphysical questions. But does this charming indie solve the problem, or is it just a load of philosophical...

Review The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 4 - Amid the Ruins (PlayStation 3)
The penultimate peril
The next to last episode of the second season of Telltale Games’ episodic The Walking Dead adaptation is an unsurprisingly gripping experience.

Who Would Win Wednesdays Destiny Special
Overpowered, nerf
If you haven't already noticed, Push Square has been going Destiny mad over the past week or so.

A feature that's usually reserved for

Dragon Age also dragon behind schedule
With several of its blockbuster titles not due until next year, EA's non-sports lineup for the rest of 2014 consisted of the ambitious Dragon Age: Inquisition and the unexpected yet thrilling Battlefield Hardline. Sadly, instead of taking a risk and pushing forward with these titles' pre-established release...

Smell you later
PlayStation veterans are in for a treat this week, as Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is set to bring a funny whiff to Sony’s shiny black box. The remake of popular PSone classic Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee – which has forever tainted this editor’s ability to spell ‘odyssey’ – carries a premium price point at $29.99, but has...

Back of the net
Lacrosse is one of those sports that you see in an American Pie movie and instantly ask what the heck is going on, but apparently it’s moderately popular in some parts of the world.

News So, Does Destiny Look Any Good on the PS3?
Judge for yourself
While the PlayStation 3 may command a much larger install base than the PlayStation 4, there’s no doubt that gaming mindshare has switched to Sony’s next-gen machine.

Love island
What’s a girl to do? Her man’s taking his sweet time proposing to her, and she’s getting bored of waiting for him.

Call of Duty is a series that rarely ever goes on sale, so you should thank the war economy for these savings.

Honestly, there have been...

Bloodlust
We hope that you haven’t cleared your backlog yet, because there’s not a whole lot to get excited about in this week’s North American PlayStation Store update. Gory twin-stick shooter Crimsonland is arguably the most noteworthy addition, while artsy sidescroller Abyss Odyssey is also up for grabs. We’re convinced that the latter...
News The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Didn't Look Like This on the PS3
To be fair, it didn't boot half of the time
As much as it pains us to say it, the PlayStation 3 didn’t provide the best home for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. In addition to late expansion packs and the usual roster of Bethesda bugs, the game was borderline broken on Sony’s popular platform. Things did improve over time, but not to a degree where...
