Video Watch As We Recap June's Best PlayStation Games
Valiant effort
Ding dong, E3 is dead – and that means that order has been restored here at Push Square Towers. That’s right, as opposed to sitting staring intently at computer screens, we’re now all bickering over whether the Dynasty Warriors franchise is actually any good. It’s not, but it still bloomin’ made its way into our June Game of...
News Sony's Current Crop of Consoles Have Sold Over 100 Million Units
That's the PS4, PS3, and Vita combined
Sony’s current flock of flagship formats are selling pretty strongly, if a new promotional video released by the platform holder is any indication. In the corporate clip – which focuses on the firm’s line of licensed peripherals and accessories – the company claims that combined sales of the PlayStation...
News Have a Peek at Dragon Age: Inquisition's 16 Minute Private E3 Gameplay Demo
Hot stuff
Upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 RPG Dragon Age: Inquisition had a rather tame showing at EA's E3 press conference last month. Alongside cringe inducing dialogue from the on-stage GM Aaryn Flynn, the game didn't get the big gameplay blowout that many expected, probably due to the publisher's strict time table. Thankfully, the...
Store Update 9th July 2014 (Europe)
Bite me
There are a couple of unexpected additions to the European PlayStation Store this week, with both 1920s trumpet-a-thon Jazz: Trump’s Journey and ghoulish bicycle simulation Skeleton Rider pedalling onto the PlayStation Vita. Other anticipated additions include season finale
Store Update 8th July 2014 (North America)
A different place
You’ll finally be entering Another World with this week’s North American PlayStation Store update, so don’t forget to stock up on sodas – and the odd strategy guide or two. Accompanying the re-release of Delphine Software’s timeless classic is whiffy puzzler MouseCraft and manga tie-in One Piece: Unlimited World Red. What...
Review MouseCraft (PlayStation 4)
Feta than you might think
Taking two loved classics and splicing them together is no mean feat, but the cheese obsessed minds at Crunching Koalas have done just that with their debut title MouseCraft. Taking strong whiffs from both Tetris and Lemmings, this title certainly has a solid premise – but does it do enough to differentiate itself from...
DLC Review Is Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn's £24.99 Complete Bundle DLC Worth the Cost?
Heavy metal
Let's start with the obvious: when you've just coughed up around £30 for a game only to find that there's a £24.99 DLC bundle ready and waiting on the PlayStation Store from day one, it's hard not to feel a little robbed. Sure, it's stuff that adds to the core game, but you probably haven't even had the chance to shoot down your first...
Talking Point Should More Games Try to Teach Us Something?
Swat the swots
Edutainment is a dirty word. We typically associate the embarrassing portmanteau with low budget trash such as Mario Teaches Typing and Donkey Kong Jr. Math – or worse still, the borderline archaic Flash and Shockwave minigames that litter government websites. However, are we letting bad examples impede the true potential of...
News Could PS3's Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Come to PS4? Yes, It Could
Fly me to the moon
Gearbox Software’s gaffer Randy Pitchford must have got a whiff of current PlayStation 3 sales, because all of a sudden the company doesn’t seem to be quite so committed to last-gen consoles. When spin-off Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel was announced earlier in the year, the outspoken executive insinuated that the moon-based...
News You'll Need to Start Saving for PS4 Shooter Destiny's Collector's Editions
Money, money, money
Bungie is apparently big enough to take ownership of 7th July, and so it’s decided to drop a bevy of details pertaining to its impending first-person shooter on this so-called Destiny day. In addition to the beta video found right through here, the company has also revealed a handful of premium packages, which are set to deploy...
Out This Week PS4 Puzzler MouseCraft, The Wolf Among Us Finale, and More
Curds of prey
If time flies when you’re having fun, then you may be in for a slightly longer week this time around. While there are a few new releases worthy of your attention over the coming days, we’re very much amid the slow summer months now. That means that you’re going to need to fill your time with digital downloads rather than big...
News That Cash You Contributed to Mighty No. 9? Comcept Wants More
Cough up
Mighty No. 9 is one of the biggest video game success stories on Kickstarter since the crowd funding website was conceived. Originally coveting $900,000, the Mega Man-esque side-scroller eventually went on to raise a whopping $3.8 million after almost 70,000 backers contributed to its cause. It seems that quadrupling its target wasn’t...
News This Mortal Kombat X Fatality Is the Grossest Thing You'll See on PS4
Final move was censored at E3
One of the E3 announcements that caused a big bang was the latest instalment in NetherRealm Studios' long-running fighting franchise, Mortal Kombat X. However, while the fight to the death looked stunning in spite of its questionable backing track, it still may have seemed a little tame. And that's because Scorpion's...
News UK Sales Charts: PS4 Testicle Remover Sniper Elite III Tops
Nuts
505 Games’ morbidly graphic long-range shooter Sniper Elite III has enjoyed a second week at the top of the UK sales charts, putting a bullet in fellow next-gen rival Watch Dogs. Despite being available on last-gen systems as well, both games sold best on Sony’s latest machine, evidencing the commanding position that the Japanese giant...
Review One Piece: Unlimited World Red (PlayStation 3)
Bits and pieces
As legions of fans will tell you, it's not hard to become captivated with One Piece, one of Japan's most popular manga creations, and its latest video game venture, One Piece: Unlimited World Red, is a good example of how easily this colourful world can ensnare anyone with an eye for crazy pirate adventures. The title itself is a...
Game of the Month June 2014 - Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Wartime winner
We're now deep into the summer months, and 2014's hottest season has thankfully provided some sizzling titles so far. Last month's selection may have been lacking in blockbusters, but we ended up giving out a slew of high scores to a bunch of vastly different games. Alas, as you've probably already guessed, Ubisoft's picturesque...
Push Rewind Transformers, Dynasty Warriors, and PS4 Tidbits
All you wanted
We’d love to give this recap a bit of oomph by informing you that it’s been an incredibly eventful week in the PlayStation Nation, but we reckon that the gaming industry’s gone on strike while the World Cup and Wimbledon edge closer to their conclusion. Still, that’s fine by us, as we’ve spent the past seven days huddled...
News How Would You Like to Star in the Next Yakuza Game?
Raises tattooed paw
Unsurprisingly, there’s a new Yakuza title in production for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – and SEGA would like you to star in it. As well as its annual hostess auditions, the publisher is also holding a competition for a 20-something male to appear in the criminal drama. The winner will be scanned, turned into a...
News NIS America Announce Another Trio of JRPG Goodies
Pick-'n'-Mix
It's no secret that this writer loves Japanese role-playing games, so the latest trio announced by publisher NIS America has your humble host's wallet shuddering in despair – especially as all are confirmed for North American and European release. Almost as if we are physic, the first title is the curiously named htoL#NiQ: The Firefly...
News There Ain't No Junk in Far Cry 4's Trunk According to This Trailer
Elephunk
Those of you in the press will be well aware of Ubisoft’s outstanding ability to produce press releases on a frighteningly frequent basis. There’s not a day goes by where we don’t get an email from the company at 17:00PM sharp, including some kind of video, image, or minor announcement. Yesterday was no different, as the firm opted to...
News The Wolf Among Us Reveals Itself in Season Finale Next Week
That's a wrap
While we pride ourselves on our biting commentary here at Push Square, this editor is unable to tell you anything about the fifth episode of The Wolf Among Us, which is set to launch on the PlayStation 3 next week. That’s primarily because this humble author still hasn’t played the second instalment, and we’re assuming that the...
Review GRID Autosport (PlayStation 3)
Three-point turn
GRID 2 was largely seen as a disappointment by many of the series’ fans – a step in the wrong direction, lacking the focus and discipline that made the original release such a compelling outing for racing enthusiasts. GRID Autosport, the latest offering from British firm Codemasters, aims to redeem the series – and bar a few...
Weirdness What Is BioShock Infinite's Logo Doing on Fox News?
Parallel universe
Fox News appears to be a big fan of Irrational Games’ politically charged first-person shooter BioShock Infinite, as the United States station adapted the PlayStation 3 adventure’s logo for a recent segment on immigration, dubbed ‘Defending the Homeland’. Seeing as the game itself deals with the very idea of xenophobia, the...
News Murdered: Soul Suspect Developer Seals Its Doors Airtight
Goodbye sequel
If you're one of the many gamers drifting their way through the town of Salem in the recently released Murdered: Soul Suspect, the news that the title's developer Airtight Games has closed its doors may send you to an early grave. Just one month after release, the rumoured closure of the firm has been confirmed by numerous news...
News It Seems Lindsay Lohan Is Still a Little Mad at Grand Theft Auto V
Raw
When she’s not in court and covering classic Stevie Nicks songs, Mean Girls lead Lindsay Lohan is apparently keeping herself busy by pursuing the billion dollar success of Grand Theft Auto V. As rumoured over six months ago, the child star turned jail bird has called in her attorney regarding the por
Store Update 2nd July 2014 (Europe)
One spicy meatball
Games bring all of the boys and girls to the PlayStation Store, and there’s plenty to look forward to as part of this week’s European refresh. We suspect that the tasty treat at the top of your wishlist will be the hard-to-type PlayStation 4 re-release Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, but the Vita version of the...
Store Update 1st July 2014 (North America)
Quick, catch up
July has somehow already arrived with gusto – and Sony has deployed a brand new batch of PlayStation Store goodies to celebrate. Yes, we’re a little late with North America’s latest update, but sports organisers will insist on running the World Cup and Wimbledon at the same time. Thank heavens this only happens once every four...
News Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star Will Be Top of the Pops This September
This guy must be "Heavy Metal"
Koei Tecmo Europe was evil last week with its obvious tease of an upcoming announcement. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait long to find out that we were right on the mark and that Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star will be seeing a physical and digital release for the PlayStation 3 in Europe on 26th September. While no...
Ninja now, ninja then
With over 100 playable characters, it's no wonder that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution's newest trailer is absolutely packed to the brim with gameplay footage. Fans will no doubt be able to pick out each and every special move that's featured here, while everyone else will just have to sit and marvel at the...
News The World Champion Shows Who's the Boss on the WWE 2K15 Cover
Don't mess
Game covers always show off their biggest stars, and WWE 2K15 is no exception, with John Cena taking pride of place on the latest pack shot. Having just re-claimed the World Heavyweight Championship at the latest Pay-Per-View, he took no time in snapping up this photo opportunity to celebrate his reign. And the latest release is shaping...
News Just About Every Japanese Game You Can Think of Has Been Discounted in This Massive EU PSN Sale
Gifts from the East
Fancy nabbing some great Japanese games for your PlayStation 3 or Vita? Kicking off today in Europe, the PlayStation Store is discounting a frankly ridiculous amount of Eastern titles. The bountiful sale will last two weeks, so there's thankfully plenty of time to pick and choose your favourites. From almost every Final Fantasy...
Who Would Win Wednesdays The GTA V Gang vs. The Payday Gang
Round 20
Who Would Win Wednesdays has reached its 20th round, meaning that it's now possible to look all the way back to the very first instalment of this weekly feature and think to yourself, "I was there when it all began." Something to tell the kids about, eh? In any case, our last fight between the Patapon Army and the Third Colossus
News Watch Dogs Recharges with Single Player DLC on PS4 and PS3
Fresh connection
Are you looking for an excuse to return to the seedy setting of Chicago? Don’t worry, because Ubisoft’s got your back – announcing that a new single player Watch Dogs expansion pack is scheduled to make a connection with the PlayStation Store this week. Available now in North America and later today in Europe, the PlayStation...
Guide How to Connect the DualShock 4 Wirelessly to the PS3
Your flexible friend
While the DualShock 3 is a perfectly serviceable input device, it lacks the refinement of the PlayStation 4 controller’s more ergonomic shell. As such, you may be cursing Sony’s classic peripheral when you return to your PlayStation 3 backlog – but fortunately, there is an alternative. While the DualShock 4 has always been...
News You'll Need to Escape Dead Island on PlayStation 3 This Year
Banoi boat trip
The upcoming PlayStation 4 sequel Dead Island 2 isn’t the only apocalyptic adventure in production at publisher Deep Silver, as the firm has announced another entry in its somewhat inconsistent zombie series: Escape Dead Island. Due out on the PlayStation 3 later this year, the title is being billed as a “survival mystery”...
News This Is What Grand Theft Auto V Would Look Like in Real Life
As seen on PS3
The stars of Grand Theft Auto V may not be the most savoury people on the planet, but we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t want to step into their shoes for a day or two. It seems that Spanish filmmaker Zapruder Pictures had a similar temptation to masquerade as Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, too, as it’s put together this...

News There'll Soon Be a New Yakuza Game for You to Lust Over
Don't hold your breath for a Western release
SEGA’s soap opera-esque role playing series Yakuza had a good run in the West for a while, but now we’re quickly falling behind. Despite localisations being borderline demanded by brand fans, neither Yakuza 5 nor its PlayStation 4 successor Yakuza Ishin have released overseas yet. That means that you...
Review Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn (PlayStation 3)
"Amuro, I'm doing something extremely wicked"
With the indie gaming boom and so many big publishers trying their hands at projects that are somewhat different from the norm, it can be surprisingly refreshing to play something as single-minded as Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn. There are no immediate details to ponder – you just climb into a...
Out This Week Guacamelee! PS4, Ratchet & Clank HD Vita, and More
Super turbo championship edition
Well, isn’t that just typical? Two weeks ago, this editor apologised for the infrequency of the ‘Out This Week’ feature, adding that it will be published every Monday from now on. Of course, then said scribe swanned off on holiday, forgetting to prepare an edition of our regular release date report before...
News Natural Doctrine Brings Tactical Monster Mashing to PS4, PS3, and Vita in September
Destiny can wait
Strategic RPG Natural Doctrine has been on our radar for many moons now, so we're happy to learn that it finally has a concrete western release date. Earlier today, the team over at NIS America announced that the tactical title will be launching for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita on 16th September in North America, and 19th...
News Bungie Blows a Hole in Destiny's Out of This World Production Budget
Billion dollar mystery
How much has upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 shooter Destiny cost to make? We’re still no closer to knowing the truth, as Bungie has shot down reports claiming that the company has splashed out $500 million in order to produce the sci-fi loot-a-thon. That would make it the most expensive game ever made, but it...
News The Swapper Will Be Invading All of Your Sony Consoles This Summer
Clones 'R' Us
Our wallets love cross-buy titles. Not only can you play them on the go, but if you have yet to make the transition to the PlayStation 4, you won't find yourself having to shell out a few months later. We suppose that there's always a worry that the next-gen version may have been downgraded to meet its less powerful siblings, but the...
News UK Sales Charts: Sniper Elite III Is Your Number One with a Bullet
On target
EA Sports UFC is going down, down in an earlier round, as Rebellion’s oddly satisfying Sniper Elite III has cocked its rifle and pulled the trigger on the UK charts. Despite launching on next-gen and last-gen systems, the release commanded 65 per cent of sales on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with Sony’s latest machine...
Review Enemy Front (PlayStation 3)
War crime
Set during the turbulent times of World War II, Enemy Front is the latest in a long line of first-person shooters to depict the horrors of one of history’s most fierce conflicts. Depicting the tale of a journalist named Robert Hawkins, you’ll team up with the American resistance as part of an effort to put an end to the Nazis once and...
Review Ultra Street Fighter IV (PlayStation 3)
Shoryuken handle it?
Street Fighter has long been one of the most popular fighting games in the genre, with title releases on just about every platform since 1987. The most recent Street Fighter IV demonstrates Capcom’s commitment to keeping the series alive, with a staggering five iterations on the original build making Ultra Street Fighter IV...

Push Rewind PS4 Firmware Updates, Valiant Hearts, and July's PS Plus Freebies
A good catch up
Push Rewind was conceived as a means to keep you up to date with the weekly happenings on Planet PlayStation, but seeing as this editor’s been holidaying as far away from computer screens as humanly possible over the past seven or so days, this should prove a really rather resourceful recap for your humble host, too. We’re still...
News Here's Every Trophy You'll Be Able to Earn in Upcoming PS4 Shooter Destiny
Spoilers, probably
We all play games for different reasons. Some of us like to get lost in grand and intricate stories, while others are much more interested in rock-solid gameplay. Perhaps the most peculiar breed of gamer, though, is the one that plays purely for the trophies. If you fall into this latter category, we're pleased to share with you...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 30
Gaming with the window open
It's been a long and warm Summer week for this Associate Editor.

You go girl
Tales of Xillia 2 is only a couple of months away, and as you'd expect, publisher Bandai Namco is starting to throw out numerous trailers that detail the title's party members. Today, we start with the JRPG's two main characters: Ludger and Elle. As you can tell, it's probably best that protagonist Ludger is taking responsibility for...

News The PlayStation 4 Just Can't Catch A Break In Japan
Outsold by the PlayStation 3, again
The PlayStation 4 is selling like cakes which are exceedingly hot in pretty much every region right now — with the notable exception of Japan, where it launched in February this year.

Matters of Import Becoming the Ace Pilot of Your Dreams in Gundam: Extreme VS Full Boost
Well that's just fan-Feddie-tastic
Over the course of its opening five hours, Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS Full Boost had this particular Gundam-crazed author shouting and swearing worse than a generic Zeon pilot who's about to be blown to bits by an opposing Feddie protagonist. In layman's terms, this ridiculously named title plays host to an...
News Raven's Cry Is Going To Swash Your Buckles On PlayStation 4
"We’re coming up with some surprises, that’s for sure”

Video Footage Of Namco Bandai's New PS3 Godzilla Game Stomps Into View
Play as different Godzillas when the game launches in Japan later this year

Explore strange new worlds
This week is all about adventure on the European PSN store, which is perfect for those wishing the holidays could start early before the knock out rounds of the World Cup.

If you're wanting to make more than your wallet miserably depressed, Valiant Hearts: The Great War has you covered. However, if you're wanting something more relaxing this...
Rumour Batman: Arkham Origins Complete Edition May Be Gliding Onto PS3 In August
Gee willikers
Batman: Arkham Knight may have retreated to the bat cave till next year, but that doesn't mean the surly superhero is completely out of the fight. A listing on Amazon Germany recently popped up which suggests that Batman: Arkham Origins will soon be getting a game of the year-esque release on PlayStation 3. This new version,...
Soapbox Was Dragon's Crown Just A Joke That Nobody Got?
Taking things too seriously
Given the recent furore over the lack of female playable characters in Assassin's Creed: Unity — and the fact that the previously controversial action RPG Dragon's Crown is currently part of Europe's PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection — I've been having plenty of time to think about how sexism manifests itself...
News It's Looking Like Ar No Surge Will Be Announced for a Western Release
The great JRPG revival
It seems that for fans of Japanese role playing games, "ask and you shall receive" is becoming a reality more than a pipe dream. With Final Fantasy Type-0 finally being brought out after years of fan riots, another overlooked RPG could be on its way. Tecmo Koei Europe has teased on its Twitter account that the announcement of...
News Don't Worry, Bungie Thinks Destiny Will Enjoy a Smooth Launch Despite Huge Amounts of Players
Easier said than done
After taking part in Destiny's recent Alpha, we were happy to report that we found the experience completely hassle free.

It provided a promising glimpse of the full release, but as we all know too well,...
News Activision Confirms Timed PlayStation-Exclusive Destiny Content, Then Retracts Statement
Going round in circles

Review Battle Princess of Arcadias (PlayStation 3)
Such a peach
Being a princess is overrated. You’ll soon wear out your waving hand, you have to speak to poor people (which even poor people hate doing), and the occasional gifted helicopter from the in-laws does little to take the edge off. Being a battle princess, alternatively, is a completely different affair. It means you get to go out and hit...

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution is slated for a Western release this September, but no doubt some of you ninjutsu enthusiasts are finding the wait near impossible. Thankfully, much like a team's dedicated medical ninja, help is close at hand. Next week, those with a Japanese PSN account will be able...

Hopes dashed
LittleBigPlanet 3's certainly made a lasting impression during Sony's E3 press conference with its sudden unveiling on the big screen.

Nevertheless, we tried to make sure that the past week was still packed full of content to keep you entertained during this Summer gaming lull, even if...

Talking Point Should Sony Ditch E3 Stage Shows Like Nintendo?
A different direction
Very few people earnestly enjoy change. This author gets the jitters if Chart-Track’s weekly UK sales data isn’t ready to write about first thing on a Monday morning, and don’t even mention routine rupturing Bank Holidays. It was little wonder, then, that the web was awash with cynicism last year when Nintendo opted to...
Rumour Destiny's Extra PS4 and PS3 Content Will Only Be Exclusive Till Next Year
Jumping jive
Timed exclusive content is a lot like the lottery: it's a constant source of bitterness, until you're on the receiving end. So, it's with great care that we report on recent rumours that the promised extra features on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 for hotly anticipated shooter Destiny will only be exclusive until next year. According...

Hack job
Ubisoft has released a fix for encrypted Watch Dogs save data which previously prevented unlucky players from loading the game.
