Guide Building Blocks for Beginners in Minecraft: PS3 Edition
What's mine is yours
Minecraft was a rather vague, strange game when it first launched on the PC. To learn about most of it, you had to jump onto the web and research a particular topic, especially when it came to creating tools and weapons. Thankfully for those new to the release, the super popular title is much more accessible now than it ever...
News This Patent May Shed Some Light on Sony's Plans for Gaikai Streaming
The sky's the limit
You may remember early last year when Sony revealed that Gaikai technology would be used to allow streaming of PlayStation 3 games on the PlayStation 4. You'll probably also recall that, since that time, details surrounding the proposed services have proven as illusive as information regarding The Last Guardian. However, we may...
Rumour PlayStation Italy's Teasing Something for 6th January
Don't lose your mind just yet, though
The gaming industry would be boring if there weren’t teaser images or developer tweets to overanalyse. Take this harmless picture of a DualShock controller carved out of coal. It was posted to PlayStation Italy’s official Facebook page earlier today alongside a cryptic message and a 6th January date...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of 2013?
Your vote counts
We wrapped up our Game of the Year countdown earlier this week, announcing that Naughty Dog’s magnificent post-apocalyptic escapade The Last of Us had taken our overall Gold Trophy. This was the culmination of several days behind-the-scenes planning, as we worked through our review backlog to prepare a shortlist of cont
Review Robot Rescue Revolution (PlayStation 3)
Rust bucket
Robot Rescue Revolution is a strategy puzzle game for the PlayStation 3, which tasks you with guiding multiple robots to a goal while navigating treacherous terrain. Available for a relatively slender figure from the PlayStation Store, the title includes three worlds to explore and over 100 levels to complete. The core gameplay involves...
News How Does the Vita Version of Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Compare to PS3?
Gatta get the right one
Square Enix’s upcoming high-definition compilation Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster is set to weep on both the PlayStation 3 and Vita later this year – but you may be wondering which version to buy? While the portability of Sony’s diminutive device may find you coveting the handheld release, there has been some concern...
News Square Enix Sure Isn't Goofing Around with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX
Looks Sora great
Hot on the heels of the decent Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, ordinarily sluggish publisher Square Enix is busying itself with successor Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. The high-definition overhaul – which is being produced alongside PlayStation 4 sequel Kingdom Hearts III – bundles the second game
News GLAAD Selected Naughty Dog's Bill As One of the Most Intriguing Characters of 2013
He's feeling glad
If you didn't already know, we really loved The Last of Us here at Push Square. In fact, we loved it so much that we threw as many Game Of The Year awards at it as we possibly could. One of our favourite things about Naughty Dog's universally praised opus is the subtly of its writing – it's rare to see a game so confident in its...
News Tekken Director Aiming to Tag in Two New Titles in 2014
King of fighters
Tekken may no longer command the clout in the fighting community that it once used to, but this particular author’s still an enormous fan. The relatively recent Tekken Tag Tournament 2 was a real return to form for the brawling brand, and we even enjoyed the freemium fisticuffs on offer in digital download Tekken Revolution...
Talking Point What New Year's Resolutions Should Sony Make in 2014?
Changing for the better
We’ve somehow lurched into 2014 without a nuclear disaster or some other life-ending apocalyptic event, so that means that it’s time to make resolutions for the future. While the majority of the planet ponders whether it should finally stump up for an expensive gym membership, the arrival of a New Year can also provide...
Soapbox Assassin's Creed's Modern Day Component Is Holding the Series Back
Robert Ramsey's sick of stepping out of the Animus
After testing my sailing skills in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag at the Eurogamer Expo all the way back in September, I knew that Ubisoft had a great game in production. From the rolling waves of the sea to the swashbuckling adrenaline rush of combat, it all immediately felt like a solid step...
News Grand Theft Auto V Puts a Big Bullet Hole in the UK's Largest Entertainment Properties
Running away with the cash
In a shock more sizeable than the kind that comes from a souped-up defibrillator, Chart-Track has revealed that Rockstar Games’ controversial open world epic Grand Theft Auto V was the UK’s best selling entertainment product of 2013. Moving an impressive 3.67 million units, the sequel beat out the Blu-ray and DVD...
News Former Sony Executive Phil Harrison Wasn't a Fan of the Name Uncharted at First
Thought it signalled a lack of success
Ex-Sony Worldwide Studios president Phil Harrison may be working as a double-agent dismantling Microsoft’s console business from the inside these days, but he once walked the boards as a PlayStation man, taking every opportunity to share his love for rubber ducks and hastily incorporated motion sensors. That...
News We'd Trade a Phoenix Mirror for This Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Content
Changed our mind
Forget about the unresolved drama regarding Shenmue’s slick looking glasses, series antagonist Lan Di has cooked up an even more sinister plot involving Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. While the PlayStation 3 and Vita versions released over a year ago now, SEGA has just published the iOS and Android ports – and they...
Game of the Year Watch Us Recap the Top Three PlayStation Games of 2013
Like a Channel 4 countdown in a fraction of the time
Game of the Year ain’t over until video editor Ben Potter renders one final YouTube wrap-up – and that’s exactly what the straight-talking movie man’s gone and done. That’s right, with our fictional Gold Trophy predictably presented to tear jerking undead-‘em-up
Game of the Year Gold Trophy - The Last of Us
It can't be for nothing
We’d love for this article to come as a pleasant surprise, but we suspect that it’s more obvious than a brick to the face. The Last of Us felt like a Game of the Year winner when it lurched onto the PlayStation 3 all the way back in early June, and nothing has really topped it in our eyes in the six or so months since...

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 14 Ends 2013 at the Top of the League
Title contender
This week’s UK sales charts are more predictable than a Manchester City home win, with FIFA 14 finishing the year in first position. Call of Duty: Ghosts, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, Battlefield 4, and Grand Theft Auto V predictably rounded out the top five
Game of the Year Bronze Trophy - BioShock Infinite
God only knows
Bold, brash, and brimming with more out-of-place Beach Boys records than a music store aimed at industrial rock fans [Bleurgh – Ed], it’s hardly surprising that BioShock Infinite soared to the summit of our Game of the Year poll speedier than protagonist Booker DeWitt when strapped into a bizarre lighthouse contraption. Irrational...
News Wait, Why Is The Last Guardian Listed on the PlayStation Store?
A right fowl-up
It seems like Sony couldn’t wait more than a few hours to share some new information on Team ICO’s oft-delayed The Last Guardian. As spotted by reader Belmont, the long overdue PlayStation 3 exclusive can be found on the
News Want a Final Fantasy X-3? You Should Probably Pipe Up
All depends on demand
The unorthodox naming conventions of the Final Fantasy franchise look set to continue, as series scenario writer Kazushige Nojima has hinted that Final Fantasy X-3 could happen if enough fans ask for it. The property's popular PlayStation 2-era story arc is enjoying a bit of a renaissance at the minute due to the impending...
News Natural Doctrine Misses PS4's Japanese Launch by a Minor Margin
Down but not out
Sony may have delayed the PlayStation 4 in Japan in order to ensure that it has a compelling software lineup, but that hasn’t prevented one of its big launch titles from slipping into March. Kadokawa Games’ strategy role-playing game Natural Doctrine had been set to launch alongside the system on 22nd February, but it will now...
News You Might Be Hearing About The Last Guardian Sooner Than You Think
The Late Guardian
The Last Guardian may just be the most excruciating case of vapourware in recorded history. We saw that stunning debut trailer way back before fire was invented, and since then we've been subject to an increasingly painful series of teases. First it was suggested that the title was being moved to the PlayStation 4, and then Jack...
Game of the Year Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013
This is living
It may be ending the year as the tired old video game veteran, but the PlayStation 3 can humbly hold its disc slot aloft, as this has been an outstanding year for the former flagship format. We know it's a countdown cliché to claim that it was a challenge to cut our list of Game of the Year candidates down to a manageable integer,...
News BioShock Infinite Flies Free in Enormous NA PS Plus Update
DmC: Devil May Cry, Smart As, and more up for grabs
There’s no rest for the wicked, as Sony has decided to keep us away from our bad food binge by announcing January’s batch of North American PlayStation Plus content. You may want to clear your mouth of chocolates before reading on, too, because the platform holder has got some seriously sweet...

Talking Point Has Father Christmas Added to Your PlayStation Backlog?
Tell us about your gaming gifts
Christmas may be about a lot of different things, but we’d be lying if we said that we didn’t predominantly enjoy the gifts. In addition to gigantic roast dinners and terrible television shows, sharing presents has become a pivotal part of the festive experience – and we want to know whether you received any new...
News Gran Turismo 5's Online Mode Parking Up in May 2014
Resistance trilogy also being taken offline
It looks like Sony is especially eager for you to upgrade to Gran Turismo 6.

Review Mutant Mudds Deluxe (PlayStation 3)
Don't jump over this one
Twenty years ago, we never would have guessed that today’s generation of consoles would embrace 8-bit side-scrolling platformers. With the release of titles like Terraria, however, this trend does not show any signs of slowing. As these games continue to grow in popularity, developers such as Renegade Kid are fusing the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This... Christmas?
One more sleep
We’ve all been forced to endure an avalanche of hype over the past couple of weeks, but as we frantically tap out this last-minute message, Christmas has virtually arrived.

Block party
After what feels like a century since the phenomenon that is Minecraft first appeared on the PC, Mojang's block-'em-up has finally dug its way onto the PlayStation 3 courtesy of 4J Studios. Its basic visual style hides a brilliantly deep, yet relatively accessible adventure that's topped off with some thoughtful little RPG elements...

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 14 Dribbles Away with the Christmas Number One
'Twas the last chart before Xmas
Good old dependable FIFA 14 has sprinted towards Christmas at the summit of the UK sales charts, meaning that it’ll surely fancy its chances for the Premier League crown this season. The title enjoyed a sudden burst of commercial energy to the tune of 17,000 units, which allowed it to topple last week’s...
News Christmas Comes Early in North American PSN Flash Sale
Cut down to size
Sony must have read our Talking Point about the less than stellar savings on the PlayStation Network, because it’s kicked off the holidays with a pretty solid festive Flash Sale. Granted, this doesn’t ever touch the outrageous prices of a Steam sell-a-thon, but a couple of the cuts are not to be trifled with. We suppose that...
News Japanese PS4 Launch Title Yakuza Ishin Draws Its Sword
Slice and dice
There’s more cheesy rock music in this brand new trailer for Japanese PlayStation 4 launch title Yakuza Ishin than you could shake a samurai sword at.

News Dragon's Crown's Firey Fifth Patch Breaks Level Cap and Generates Random Dungeons
Flaming heck
Fans of Vanillaware's chaotic action RPG Dragon's Crown will be ecstatic to learn of the game's fifth and final update, which seems to have been designed with the most hardcore of players in mind. Aside from the typical "gameplay stability" fix, the patch attempts to lengthen the beautiful brawler's already beefy playtime. It all...

Sammy Barker's struggling to break the chain

Feature 2013's Most Powerful PlayStation Soundtracks
Don't look back in anger
More often than not, too much effort is spent pondering the visuals of a game. Or its gameplay. Or its set pieces. However, there’s one pivotal area that tends to get overlooked time and time again: the soundtrack. If you’re on the fence about a particular piece of software, an emotional piece of music can set you on the...

On target
Rebellion’s gruesome but gratifying scope-‘em-up Sniper Elite III is still on target for a 2014 release, according to a brand new trailer that the company fired online earlier today. The clip shows protagonist Karl Fairburne scouting out the ancient city of Tobruk in Libya – and putting a bullet right in the eye socket of an...
Talking Point Should Sony Mirror Steam's Discount Strategy for PSN?
Door busters
Sales can actually be a pretty cunning strategy. Supermarkets are particularly good at them, lowering the cost of sought after goods in order to obtain publicity and drive foot traffic through their stores. It only takes one heavily discounted item to coerce thrifty shoppers into a cash splashing frenzy, and that allows retailers to...

Store Update 17th December 2013 (North America)
Season of digital goods
Christmas has come early on the North American PlayStation Store this week. Indeed, there are so many highlights that we don’t really know where to start.

The latest add-on is a real humdinger, too, fusing the serenity of the Omniverse with the dastardly exploits of the DC Universe. In addition to a bunch...
News Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster Will Blitz onto Your Vita in March 2014
The final countdown
Details surrounding the PlayStation Vita version of Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster have been as nebulous and ever-changing as the very fabric of time.

News Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Being Launched Off the PSN Store
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 taking a fist to the face, too
It seems that Capcom has been unable to break the mounting combo of comic book character licensing fees. As part of a pretty nonchalant blog post, the Japanese publisher has revealed that both Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will be leaving the PlaySt
News You Don't Have As Many PSN Trophies As This Guy

News Test Drive the BMW M4 Coupé in Gran Turismo 6 Now
Try before you buy
Arguably one of the best things about the Gran Turismo franchise is the behind-the-scenes access that Polyphony Digital obtains at various automotive manufacturers around the globe.

Weirdness What if The Last of Us Was a LEGO Game?
Blockbuster
Naughty Dog's current generation swansong The Last of Us isn't a LEGO game – but it would make a pretty good one if this video's anything to go by.

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS Vita TV's Audience Shrinks Again
Gran Turismo 6 takes pole position
Sony may be considering ways in which it can broadcast PS Vita TV overseas, but we reckon those plans may be shelved soon if the diminutive device doesn’t pick up the pace in its home territory. After a miserable first month on the market, the micro-console has now slumped to just 3,772 sales in Japan according...
