Who Would Win Wednesdays Edward Kenway vs. Cervantes de Leon
Round 15
We're now at the point where no week is complete without a brand new edition of Who Would Win Wednesdays. Imagining two fictional characters beating the snot out of each other never really gets old, and as long as we don't run out of PlayStation personalities to write about, we'll be more than happy to satisfy your lust for blood. Speaking...
News Sony Expects to Remain in the Red Next Year As Well
Company can't stop losing cash
Sony’s the corporate equivalent of one of those kids that drops a fiver on the floor and refuses to pick it up because that would be deemed ‘uncool’. Despite confirming an expected loss of $1.26 billion overnight, the Japanese giant has admitted that it’ll remain in the red next year as well – predicting a...
News This 9 Minute Watch Dogs Trailer Showcases Everything the PS4 Open World Offers
Keep watching
As we've come to expect from Ubisoft, upcoming sandbox romp Watch Dogs has had its fair share of trailers. Much like Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag before it, the publisher has shown off just about every feature that the title has to offer through promotional media, and this latest look at the release is no different. Lasting over...
News PS4 Sequel Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Being Treated Like New IP
Time to respawn
While we’re still quite fond of the formula, there’s a very clear recipe that all Call of Duty games tend to adhere to. However, relatively new studio Sledgehammer Games promised that it would change things up with the upcoming Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare – and speaking as part of an interview with Game Informer magazine,...
Out This Week Soul Sacrifice Delta, Borderlands 2 Vita, Minecraft
Viva la vita
The bigwigs at Sony may have publicly put the PlayStation Vita out to pasture, but the misunderstood machine will play host to a couple of crackers this week. Soul Sacrifice Delta, the updated re-release of Keiji Inafune’s dark fantasy classic, will be accompanied by the long awaited portable port of Borderlands 2. Oh, and apologies...
News Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition Unearths Hellish PS4 Loot on 19th August
Hell hath frozen
It feels like an eternity since Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition was announced for the PlayStation 4 during Sony’s big next-gen coming out party last year, but the title finally has a 19th August release date. Surprisingly, it will deploy on the PlayStation 3 as well as the Japanese giant’s latest device, meaning that you...
Review Cabela's Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts (PlayStation 3)
Deer balls under a buck
Cabela’s Big Game Hunter Pro Hunts is Activision’s most recent addition to its enormous catalogue of sponsored hunting games. This time, the firm’s adopted a more modern and lifelike approach to the controversial pastime, maintaining many of the aspects of a real-world hunt, but still wrapping it up in an accessible...
News Don't Panic, Sony's Already Made Plans for the Next Century of PlayStation
Wait, what?
We always knew that Sony was a forward thinking company, but this is getting ridiculous. Big wigs Andrew House and Mark Cerny will both take to the stage at this year's Develop conference to deliver a keynote on the history and future of the PlayStation brand. Titled '20 years of PlayStation, 40 years of Console Games, and 100 Years to...
News Have You Found Sportsfriends' Two Secret Games Yet?
Buy four, get two free
With Sportsfriends' recent release, it's helped us to rediscover the love of playing games with our buddies – or maybe it's just reminded us how far we're willing to go to win. If the compilation's four games alone have failed to create a Monopoly-esque rift between you and your pals, however, know that there are two secret...
News UK Sales Charts: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Swings a Little Lower
Hanging loose
A lack of new releases means that this was another uneventful week for the UK sales charts, as semi-Xbox One exclusive Titanfall reclaimed its place at the summit. FIFA 14 dribbled into second on the last day of the Premier League, while former frontrunner The Amazing Spider-Man 2 wrapped itself up in third position. Elsewhere,
Review Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi (PlayStation 3)
A novel idea
Hakuoki: Stories of the Shinsengumi is one of those rare video games that aren’t really video games at all. Actually, it’s a novel, cunningly disguised as something that you need a controller for. Occasionally the story will be interrupted with a choice for you to make, but largely the main goal is to keep on reading. It may be...
First Impressions PS4 Puzzler MouseCraft Whiffs of Tetris, Lemmings, and Mature Cheddar
Dairy glee
Freed from the shackles of financially motivated businessmen, the indie space is awash with bonkers ideas, and Crunching Koala’s upcoming MouseCraft is no exception.

News Cel Damage HD Unleashes Mechanical Multiplayer Madness on 14th May
Not frieza damage
Sportsfriends may be taking the local multiplayer world by storm, but that doesn't mean that it's the only fighter in the ring. Finish Lines Games recently revealed in a PlayStation Blog post that Cel Damage HD, a re-mastered edition of the classic smash-'em-u
News Final Fantasy XIV Fans Gather in Memorial of Fallen Friend
Gone but not forgotten
Death in gaming is meaningless. When we fall at the feet of a particularly challenging boss or a cunning camper, typically we hit the restart button and try again. However, there are no such opportunities to respawn in real life, and so the passing of a popular Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn player this week prompted...
Push Rewind PS4 E3 Rumours, Outlast: Whistleblower, and Bound by Flame
Jesse hold on
We’ve gone a little review crazy here at Push Square towers, working our way through a whopping ten titles over the past seven days.

More than a pretty face
Tecmo Koei's Atelier series is set to return with the final re-release of the PlayStation 3's Arland trilogy.

There...
News Strip-'Em-Up Akiba's Trip Will Ship on an 8GB PS Vita Card [Updated]
And will feature more men
If there’s one unspoken issue consistent across virtually all PlayStation Vita ports, it’s that the audio is often horribly compressed. It’s a problem that we pointed out in our recent review of The Sly Trilogy, which is a pixel perfect conversion of Sanzaru Games’ platforming compilation from a visual perspective...
News Join the Real Battlefield in Valiant Hearts: The Great War This June
Who lost the rose tinted glasses?
War is glorified in video games these days, where we are encouraged to slaughter our opponents as quickly as possible in order to nab a free nuke with which to punish any survivors. In Ubisoft's Valiant Hearts: The Great War, however, you'll witness the stories of normal citizens, who are dragged onto the front...
News Watch Dogs Adds a Diverse Roster of Personalities to Your Speed Dial
Siri, call Clara
Watch Dogs protagonist Aiden Pearce may have a smartphone so, er, smart that it can simulate human company, but you still can’t beat the real thing. As such, the hatted hero will have a slew of real-life accomplices in Ubisoft’s upcoming open world adventure, each stemming from a different walk of life. Clara Lille, for...
Video Watch As We Recap April's Best PlayStation Games
Sea what you did there
Regular readers will recall that this dulcet toned editor was promised an all expenses paid trip to WrestleMania last month – a reward for lending a very capable larynx to the Push Square cause. Alas, no such tickets arrived, causing another minor melodrama in the office that resulted in not one but two glasses of spilt...
News Techland Dims PS4 Free Runner Dying Light Until February 2015
Lights out
We’re approaching that time of the year where games start getting delayed, and following in the footsteps of The Elder Scrolls Online, Polish developer Techland has confirmed that PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 parkour-‘em-up Dying Light will now not deploy until February 2015. The title was originally due out this summer, so...
News Risen 3: Titan Lords Looks an Awful Lot Like Dark Souls
Releasing on PS3 in August
If you're looking for something to play on the PlayStation 3, and Murdered: Soul Suspect isn't doing anything for you, perhaps Risen 3: Titan Lords will fill that role. Developer Piranha Bytes has recently released a new trailer for the title, along with the news that it'll be launching on 12th August in North America and...
Review SoulCalibur: Lost Swords (PlayStation 3)
En garbage
Forget about missing blades, we suspect that the folks at Bandai Namco may have misplaced their minds while developing SoulCalibur: Lost Swords. This wretched free-to-play fighter serves up the gaming equivalent of seppuku, except the ancient Japanese suicidal rite isn’t riddled with obnoxious loading times, and thus is preferable to...
Store Update 7th May 2014 (Europe)
Flamin' heck
Coming up with interesting introductions to these PlayStation Store updates becomes a challenge after a while, so we’re just going to dive straight into this European refresh and hope that no one notices the distinct lack of effort. At least the platform holder’s put a little more thought into its digital plaza’s latest publish,...
Who Would Win Wednesdays Jacket vs. Trevor Philips
Round 14
We're going into dangerous and bloody territory for this week's edition of Who Would Win Wednesdays, as two seedy criminals fight for the right to boast about their combat prowess. Last week's match between an older man with crazy hair and a teenager with a suspiciously normal 'cut ended with a win for Heihachi Mishima, but will experience...

Strike a light
MLB 14 The Show is the main addition to the North American PlayStation Store this week, promising to hit a homerun for the first time on Sony’s next-gen format.

News Historical Figures Duke it Out in Eiyuu Senki - The World Conquest
Cat fight
The indie scene on Sony's consoles is flourishing, with more unique and interesting games being added every week – but the same can't be said for titles made by Japan's smaller development teams. We could, however, be seeing the arrival of more bizarre releases in the future, following the announcement of Eiyuu Senki - The World Conquest...

News This May Not Be a Sequel to The Last of Us, But We Still Love the Art
Strikes a chord
The Last of Us concept artist Marek Okon caused a minor online furore over the weekend when he teased an image of an older Ellie, leading many to believe that a sequel could be on the cards. The skilled sketcher later clarified that he’d picked up his paintbrush for personal reasons, and he’s since
News Need for Speed Spends Some Time in the Garage as Series Skips 2014
Out of the race
Those looking for some fast and furious fun may have to make do with this year’s Need for Speed movie, as EA Games has announced that it’s put the brakes on the brand until 2015. Despite being an annual fixture in the firm’s lineup for as long as we can remember, there’ll be no new instalment this year, as Swedish developer...

Game of the Month April 2014 - Child of Light
Out of the dark
April may not have equalled March's onslaught of great games, but it still managed to play host to a number of smaller titles that ended up occupying large chunks of our time. Enjoyable downloadable releases were aplenty, with the likes of Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Trials Fusion, and Child of Light all vying for Push Square's coveted...
Review Titan Attacks (PlayStation 4)
Attack on Titan
When it hit arcades, Space Invaders revolutionised video games, making what was viewed by many as a novelty into a global industry. At that same time, it also provided inspiration for a legion of today’s game developers, and this influence is abundantly clear in Titan Attacks from British developer Puppygames. Coming to the...
News How Much Money Is Being Spent on PS4 Shooter Destiny?
So much it's scary
Bungie better pray to the gaming gods that first-person shooter Destiny generates a more favourable reaction than its recent seven minute gameplay trailer, because publisher Activision is investing – wait for this – $500 million into ensuring that the property is a success. That’s more money than company gaffer Bobby Kotick...
News UK Sales Charts: The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Swings to the Summit
Save this city
Not even our astute spider sense could predict that Activision’s movie tie-in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 would swing straight to the top of the UK sales charts, but that’s exactly what it’s done. Aspiring journalist Peter Parker’s alter-ego wrapped a web right around former frontrunner Titanfall, proving that you don’t need to...
Push Rewind Child of Light, Call of Duty, and Project Beast
Feeling hella good
Similarly to a No Doubt bassline, this week’s PlayStation coverage has left us bobbing our heads like the Churchill Dog. Yes, we’re a little late with this latest edition of Push Rewind, but cut us some slack – today was a public holiday in the UK, after all. Still, with stories spanning new PlayStati

News PS2 Classic Amplitude Could Be Making a Comeback on PS4
You need to fund it first, though
While the likes of Rock Band Blitz and Rock Band Unplugged have offered permutations on the Amplitude formula, the original Harmonix developed PlayStation 2 exclusive remains the very best version of the controller-based rhythm format. Fortunately, the franchise could be making a comeback on the PlayStation 4 and...
News Reclaim Familiar Strongholds in The Last of Us' New Multiplayer DLC
Fight for your right to hoard glass bottles

As previously announced, developer Naughty Dog is playing fetch with a bunch of post-release...
News Gaikai? No, PlayStation Now Is Powered by Black Magic
Seriously, this is impressive
Sony’s done a great job of keeping the PlayStation Now beta under wraps, but videos of the user experience were always going to leak eventually – and this latest clip has made us ponder why the platform holder’s seemingly so eager to keep things secret. It shows a rebellious user faffing about with the streaming...
News Minecraft Maker Makes PS4 and Vita Versions a Top Priority
Sweet new textures coming to PS3
We already know that Minecraft’s basic building blocks are in place on the PlayStation 4 and Vita, after port house 4J Studios posted a picture of both versions of the game in action.

Review EA Sports 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil (PlayStation 3)
A place in the sun
Summertime is often a period where people like to make memories.

However, what usually makes summer all the more enjoyable – especially if you're a footy...
News Heartless Americans Thought Tokyo Jungle Was Woof
Doggy doo
Tokyo Jungle is the most bafflingly barmy game to grace any console over the past five years. Outpacing even Octodad: Dadliest Catch in the odd department, the ridiculous roguelike sees you assume the role of a variety of animals, as you attempt to survive in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo. However, while we utterly adored the animal centric...
News Forget Minecraft, Indie Puzzler MouseCraft Hits PS4, PS3, and Vita on 8th July
Modest mouse
We know that Sony said that it would be putting a bigger focus on indies, but we didn't think that it'd deliver on that promise in such a big way. Indeed, it seems that we can't go a day without another announcement of a new title making its way to the Japanese giant's hardware. And while we certainly appreciate the flood of content,...

This latest batch comes care of...
Review Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels (PlayStation 3)

Trading card games are everywhere these days, mostly thanks to smartphones and the free-to-play model. Yu-Gi-Oh! Millennium Duels looks to present the genre in a more traditional way.

In fact, so prolific has the developer’s...

Raiden solo
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a short game. Or at least, that's what some people would have you believe. Others would argue that the tactical title provides hours upon hours of replay value, and a robust set of challenges to complete. Whatever your stance, we're pretty sure that no one will be complaining about the title's...

Neverland
Yes, feel free to point and laugh at us like The Simpsons character Nelson – we know that we’re extremely late.

Comic book cash sink
The game-cross-toy genre is still alive and kicking, with the bigwigs at the House of Mouse announcing Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel Super Heroes for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 earlier today. A sequel to last year’s Skylanders-inspired playbox, the title will focus on the various icons from its wholly owned comic book...
News This New Murdered: Soul Suspect Trailer Is Some Seriously Chilling Stuff
Noir way
Even after the many times that we've heard about it, Murdered: Soul Suspect still feels as ethereal and nebulous as its ghostly protagonist. There's something bizarre and intriguing about the spook-'em-up that we just can't pin down. Set in the notoriously haunted city of Salem, the title sees you playing as a recently murdered gumshoe, who...
Who Would Win Wednesdays Heihachi Mishima vs. Jude Mathis
Round 13
An unlucky number for some, we're now into the 13th round of Who Would Win Wednesdays. Last week's showdown was a real nail-biter as Raiden and Sephiroth attempted to carve each other into neat little chunks, but Final Fantasy VII's pretty boy antagonist managed to just edge out a victory against the psychopathic cyborg. We may have moved...

Feature Eight Promising PS4, PS3, and Vita RPGs in 2014
Grind out the hype
Despite being a genre that's certainly had its ups and downs, role-playing games remain a cornerstone of gaming.

From shooters to sports titles,...

Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (PlayStation 3)
Half shelled
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows – a game developed by Red Fly Studios and published by Activision – released in August last year on both Steam and the Xbox 360 to a largely atrocious reception. With the game taking around eight months to hit the PlayStation 3, then, one would expect (or at least hope) that the delay...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA World Cup Slips Behind Titanfall in Extra Time
Like England of old
First-person shooter Titanfall may not be the big hardware mover that Microsoft wanted, but it’s sure stretching its robotic legs in the UK sales charts right now.
