News Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Has the Flashiest Opening Movie on PS4
Final fantastic
Outside of anime-based titles, fighters, and a handful of Japanese role-playing games, it feels like opening movies are becoming less and less common. Fortunately, Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is here to pick up the slack with what we think is probably the flashiest opening movie on the PlayStation 4. Just look at all those explosions...

Review Dead Rising 4: Frank's Big Package (PS4)
Frank Best
Dead Rising has always been an oddball series, mixing in semi-serious takes on consumerism with absurdist humour and some downright disturbing moments. It may not have be the most polished or popular series, but it's always had a distinctive identity despite its moments of clunkiness and frustration. Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package,...
Guide Best PS4 Music of November 2017
Calm before the storm
The November issue of Push Play marks the last release before we close out the year by talking about the best scores of the year. It was also a bit of an underwhelming month.

We’re a little bit torn on Death Stranding right now. It’s been a year since we last got an update on Hideo Kojima’s madcap PlayStation 4 exclusive, and part of us is gagging to see more.

Game of the Month The Best PS4 Games of November 2017
Detectives, deers, dealers, and dragons
We won't beat around the bush here: November wasn't an especially amazing month for great PlayStation 4 games.

News After the Battlefront 2 Scandal, EA UFC 3's Beta Sounds Like a Disaster
Here we go again
With the games industry still a little raw after the whole Star Wars Battlefront 2 fiasco, it might have been smart for EA to delay UFC 3’s beta based on some of the early reports regarding the game.

Before Charlie Brooker came onto the scene, Black Mirror was more commonly known as a series of point-and-click adventure games released on the PC in the mid-2000s.

But we're not sure why you would
An interesting detail in the latest Dynasty Warriors 9 information dump: any of the game's playable characters can equip and use any weapon type.

Hands On DOOM VFR Supports Three PSVR Controllers, But None Feel Quite Right
Hell in your hands
DOOM VFR is a very handsome game with PlayStation VR, a statement we’re noticing ourselves make more often as virtual reality titles mature.

Noct again
We've been writing about Final Fantasy XV for what feels like an eternity, from the day it was announced -- then titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII -- all the way until now.

Review Sky Force Reloaded (PS4)
Sky's the limit
For a remake of a decade old mobile game that liberally cribs from every other scrolling arcade shooter on the market, Infinite Dreams’ Sky Force Reloaded is a surprisingly addictive title.

News Japanese Sales Charts: Hatsune Miku Hits High Notes on PS4, Wolfenstein II Barely Makes Top 20
PS4 stays steady
It's been another relatively quiet week for PlayStation in Japan, with only one new title making it into the top five.

News Jak & Daxter's PS4 Re-Releases Can't Be Too Far Away Now
Team eco
There’s no way around it: Sony’s PS2 Classics initiative has been embarrassing.

News Sony: We Announced Some PS4 Games Too Early
Company candid about perceived errors
Perhaps one of the most vocal criticisms aimed at Sony is that it announces games too early.
