Who Would Win Wednesdays Raiden vs. Sephiroth
Round 12
Greetings loyal Push Square readers, and welcome to yet another Who Would Win Wednesdays.

News What's Next for Prince of Persia? Ubisoft Doesn't Want You to Know Yet
A princely error
French publisher Ubisoft couldn’t keep a secret if its entire corporate future depended on it, so it’s not exactly surprising to see the organisation squirming over an errant tweet from one of its employees. Ubisoft Reflections engineer Drew James posted a message teasing a new Prince of Persia title overnight, but his entire...

A place in cyberspace
Bungie’s upcoming sci-fi shooter Destiny is mere months away at this point.

Catch of the day

Ten new titles added
The PlayStation Now beta has been trundling along for a while now, and participants have no doubt been using the service to stream games until their thumbs drop off from exhaustion.

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA World Cup Falls to Respawn's FPS
Runners up
Enforcing stereotypes about the British and the beautiful game, there are two soccer simulations in the top five of this week’s UK sales charts. 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil sprinted out of the blocks into second, though it couldn’t topple long-running frontrunner Titanfall. Meanwhile, FIFA 14 landed a Champion’s League spot in...
Weirdness Mugen Souls Z's DLC Lets You Beat Enemies with a Body Pillow
Killing you softly
While Saints Row IV will always be the winner of the craziest weapon award with such wonders as the Dubstep Gun and the Inflato Ray, NIS America's role-playing game Mugen Souls Z is taking a good shot at the title. The folks moderating the release's Wikia page teased a weapon that will be included in one of its first DLC packs: a...
News GRID Autosport Puts the Brakes on PlayStation 4 Release
There will be car-nage
Strange spin-off Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will not be the only major release to skip the PlayStation 4 this year, as Codemasters has confirmed that GRID Autosport will also steer away from Sony’s next-gen system.

News By the Maker, Dragon Age: Inquisition's Box Art is Suitably Epic
Rise up
It may seem like you've got plenty of time until its release, but Dragon Age: Inquisition's march to store shelves is starting to pick up pace, as evidenced by the reveal of the cross-gen RPG's box art. Sporting some rather lovely art work and great composition, this is certainly a cover that fans should enjoy seeing on their shelves later...
Review Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime’s Longest Day (PlayStation 3)
We'd prefer a 'Slightly Longer Peace' next time
What do a polar bear, a Japanese firefighter, a karaoke booth, and a dancing frog made of umbrellas have in common? They all take centre stage in Bandai Namco's latest Eastern offering, Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day. Rather than one specific game, this is a compilation of four excellent...
Push Rewind Final Fantasy XIV, Trials Fusion, and Format Wars
Day late friend
We’re a little later than usual with this week’s Push Rewind recap following the Easter holiday, but while we may be several pounds heavier at the present, that’s not stopping us from looking back on all of the biggest news and reviews on Planet PlayStation lately. Arguably the biggest story over the past seven days pertained...
Talking Point What Are Your Favourite PlayStation Easter Eggs?
Sunny side up
We all know that Easter eggs are at their absolute best when they’re big, brown, and made out of chocolate. However, just because you can’t beat a sugary oval filled with Cadbury’s finest fondant, doesn’t mean that the tasty treats stashed inside video games aren’t also entertaining. We took a look back at 12 of the very best...
A neighbour's nightmare
If there’s one problem with Rock Band, it’s that most of its content is DLC. Sure, it’s great to be able to pick and choose what you want to play, but purchasing individually means that you’re unlikely to try new things. SingOn tries to solve this problem by going with a subscription model, allowing instant anytime...

Yeah, that’s less than a dollar. Admittedly, you...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Easter Edition 2
Cracking good time
The long Easter weekend is upon us, which means that this editor will be spending his lie-ins hoping that Jessica Rabbit hops by with a chocolate heart. Curious fantasies aside, it’s been over a year now since we started the ‘What Are You Playing This Weekend’ series, meaning that this is the second Easter Edition that...
News Tales of Zestiria's Battle System Steps Back in Time
Not a one trick pony
While the cast of Tales of Zestiria may have been leaking each month like a dripping tap, more information on the gameplay has been dry until now. Alas, in the latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, details regarding the title's battle system reveal a shift from its most recent incarnation in
News PS4 RPG Bound by Flame Features Some Impressive Player Customisation
Hot under the collar
We're daring to hope that upcoming action RPG Bound by Flame will be the PlayStation 4's first suitably epic fantasy adventure after the game's most recent trailer. With the title set to launch in under a month's time, developer Spiders Studio has released a handful of screenshots that showcase the game's deep player...
News BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Is Attacking Europe Sooner Than You Expect
Surprise attack
With BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma's PlayStation 3 release in North America last month, and the announcement of its impending arrival on the Vita overseas, it's understandable why European fans of this frantic fighting franchise have been worried by the radio silence.

That's one of the reasons why we're more than excited for the studio's latest game Destiny, which is set to...
News Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Moved 278k Units Last Month in US
Snake oil
The core campaign in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes may match the length of the average episode of Game of Thrones, but that’s not stopped publisher Konami from selling 278,000 copies of the jumped-up demo in the United States last month. The title finished sixth in last night’s March NPD report, but still sold reasonably well –...
News March NPD: PS4 Overcomes Titanfall to Top Hardware Charts Again
inFAMOUS in at second
Titanfall may have made the Xbox One the faraway frontrunner in the United States sales battle last month, but the PlayStation 4 extended its lead on Microsoft’s home turf with another unexpected victory in the all-important territory. The triumph cements a sales double-whammy for platform holder Sony, after it announced that...
Review MLB 14 The Show (PlayStation 3)
Pinch-hit home run
MLB 14 The Show is this year’s entry in the long running and highly respected baseball series from Sony’s own San Diego studio. Being a sports game, it’s to be expected that it ends up feeling a little like an iterative experience as opposed to an innovative one – but that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing good going...
News Minecraft: PS4 Edition Will Also Build a Path to Brick and Mortar Stores

Who Would Win Wednesdays Alduin vs. Bahamut
Round 11
We're now so far into Who Wins Wednesdays that we've had to start using numbers when it comes to typing out the tagline.

News Child of Light Can Be Played as Lighthearted or Hardcore JRPG, Says Lead Writer
Looks can be deceiving
As Child of Light's PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 release date draws ever nearer, the throwback retro-inspired JRPG continues to throw up little surprises.

Out This Week Final Fantasy XIV, Trials Fusion, FIFA World Cup
Lift the ultimate prize
While the release calendar historically shuts up shop at the end of the fiscal year, this week’s outrageous roster of PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita arrivals has different ideas in mind. Following on from last week’s experimental edition of ‘Out This Week’, we’re back with another hastily prepared look at...
Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 - A Crooked Mile (PlayStation 3)
Howl at the moon
It may have only been a couple of months, but the wait for Episode 3 in Telltale Games’ fairytale detective-‘em-up The Wolf Among Us has been agonising. The mind boggles at how the award winning studio even manages to juggle development of its various leviathan franchises at the same time, let alone make them impossible to put...

News Batman: Arkham Origins' PS3 Expansion Is as Cold as Ice
Revenge is a dish best served cold
What’s cooler than being cool? That’s a question that you should probably pose to DC Comics antagonist Mr. Freeze, but it may be best to wait until he’s in a good mood.

Delsin decline
After a prolonged period hovering around the top of the UK sales charts, PlayStation 4 exclusive inFAMOUS: Second Son has comet dropped down into 13th position.

Push Rewind Management, Morpheus, and Minecraft
The calm before the storm
There’s no doubt that we are now deep in the pre-E3 lull. Sony may have hastily announced The Last of Us Remastered this week, but we get the distinct impression that it didn’t want to. As such, we suspect that any Earth shattering stories that hit the headlines over the coming months will be leaks from the Los Angeles...
Review Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom (PlayStation 3)
Finders weepers
Once upon a time, titles like Invizimals: The Lost Kingdom were ten a penny. The movie tie-in boom ensured that supermarket shelves were crammed with action platforms, each bearing colourful characters on the cover and containing gameplay more average than the mathematical mean. Gradually, consumers started to realise that these...
News Sony Very Nearly Disbanded Its Entire First-Party Development Division
Sucker punched
Sony’s internal development efforts have always been good, but it wasn’t until the latter half of the previous generation that it really started to transform its first-party products into major selling points.

First Impressions Beating Up Siblings in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
Keep it in the family
For the uninitiated, the constant wave of previously Japanese-only titles getting a Western release can be extremely daunting. Despite the recent successes of Persona 4 Golden, Catherine, and even the likes of Demon’s Souls, there still exists a barrier that very few people are willing to cross in the name of newer, more...
News You May Be Seeing New Info on The Last Guardian in the Near Future
That's the theory
While it may feel like we're beating a dead horse – or, more appropriately, a dead giant dinosaur-bird-thing – we really would like Sony to just tell us what's going on with The Last Guardian. Honestly, we wouldn't even be that mad if the Japanese giant had cancelled the game. Okay, maybe we would be pretty mad, but that would...
First Impressions Sliding Down the Slipway with Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day
Ranko's Creed
In case you're unaware, Short Peace: Ranko Tsukigime's Longest Day is not technically a game in the normal sense of the word.
