News BioWare's Considering a Dragon Age Spin-Off Title
Tactical advantage
"Would you play a Dragon Age Tactics game?" asks series executive producer Mark Darrah over on Twitter. The BioWare veteran even posted a poll on the social media platform, with 49 per cent of voters answering "Yes!" We suppose that means we could be getting a spin-off Dragon Age game in the future, then. Sure, it's a bit of an...
News The Walking Dead: Michonne Passes on Platinum Trophy
Pot luck
Those of you hoping to swell the size of your Trophy cabinet with another easy Telltale Platinum may be disappointed to learn that mini-series The Walking Dead: Michonne will ship without a silvery-blue pot. As with previous entries in the series, you'll earn trinkets for working your way through the story, but the three episode runtime was...
News Get Your Burning Blood Pumping with 4 Minutes of One Piece PS4 Gameplay
Heading for the summit
One Piece: Burning Blood's new trailer shows off a generous amount of story and gameplay - and we reckon that it looks rather rad. Focussing on the Battle of Marineford, in which various powerful pirates take on numerous bigwig Marines, there are some slight spoilers here, but we'll assume that if you're reading this, you...
News Oh Dear, PES 2016's Euro 2016 Update Only Has 15 Licensed Teams
Bad news for all you Romaniacs
After Konami's faffing around with some rather important transfer updates for PES 2016 last year, it promised that all owners would get the upcoming Euro 2016 DLC for free, instead of having to buy it. Still, our friends at Eurogamer have reported that Konami has announced that only 15 out of the 24 teams in Euro 2016...
News UK Sales Charts: Street Fighter V Cowers to the Power of Street Fighter IV
Maybe it should reconsider its fist?
Street Fighter V hasn't got off to a great start in the UK sales charts, failing to KO Street Fighter IV's week one sales record all the way back in 2009. While some will see this as a sharp decline, it's perhaps worth remembering that the game did only release on one system, and will have seen a much larger...
Evolution not revolution
It's easy to imagine that when the team behind Far Cry Primal were deciding what their latest outing should be, they looked back over their previous titles and asked: what do people most enjoy about Far Cry? One of the things that would probably be near the top of that list would be the hunting and crafting that acted as one...

Ouch
This story's not really PlayStation related, but it's relevant to the virtual reality discussion, so we're just putting it out there: HTC's Vive will retail for a cool $799.99 when it starts shipping in April 2016. Assuming that you've got enough kidneys to sell, pre-orders will begin at 10:00AM ET on 29th February. This obviously makes the...
Push Rewind Street Fighter V, PS4 Firmware Update Betas, Hideo Kojima's Next Game
Rise up
One game's hogged the headlines this week: Street Fighter V. We thought that the fighter was absolutely wonderful in our review, but it's also come under heavy fire for its lack of single player content. Elsewhere this week, we got some updates on Hideo Kojima's new game, Bethesda teased a Fallout 4 secret that's yet to be found, and we...
News Bloodborne Art Book Will Keep You Awake at Night
Hunter's dream
Bloodborne has one of the most consistently grotesque gothic art styles that can be found on the PlayStation 4, but if you want to explore the warped imaginations of the From Software design team that brought it all to life, then this official art book may be for you. It's currently available for pre-order on
News Sony President Challenges Square Enix Boss to a Battle
Well, in Black Ops III
A bitter rivalry has broken out in Japan, as SCEJ president Atsushi Morita has challenged Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda to a duel – in Call of Duty: Black Ops III. In the video embedded below, Morita-san confidently calls out his counter-part, and recommends a battle. A re-enactment of a heated conversation between the...
News ADR1FT Drags Out the Obligatory Clair de Lune Trailer
A space odyssey
It's a lovely piece of music, but Clair de Lune doesn't half get overused in this industry. ADR1FT, the space-faring sim by threeonezero, is the latest to use the heart-breaking piece, as it splices bits of gameplay with press quotes. This is for the Oculus Rift release, but it's worth remembering that the title – with, we assume,...
News BioShock: The Collection PS4 Rating Reveals Rapture Return
Under the sea
We asked 2K Games if it would kindly make a BioShock remaster for the PlayStation 4, and it looks like it's responded. As if it ever had a choice, eh? There were rumours eons ago that BioShock: The Collection would wrench its way to Sony's new-gen system, but they never materialised. Now, though, the Brazilian rati
News Vibrant Street Fighter V PS4 Theme Free for PlayStation Plus Members
New costume for your console
Whether or not you're satisfied with Street Fighter V in its release state, this free PlayStation 4 theme should put a smile on your face. It's available from the European PlayStation Store right now, and is free for PlayStation Plus subscribers. It's not animated, but it's still one of the more colourful backdrops...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 106
Weekend fighters
Want to know what the worst thing about the weekend is? Trying to come up with an introduction to WAYP. Y'know, this author's seriously considering concocting a copy and paste intro that can be recycled every week. For now, though, we'll simply make a passing comment about the weather – it's a bit drizzly here in the UK. Sammy...
Review The Escapists: The Walking Dead (PS4)
Daily Grimes
The Escapists: The Walking Dead is an aptly named amalgamation of the prison break indie game, The Escapists, coupled with the smash hit comic book and TV series, The Walking Dead. It takes all of the original game's mechanics and fits them into the world of Rick Grimes' undead uber-brand. As expected from a game set in that world,...
News Hideo Kojima's PS4 Exclusive Will Blow Us Away, Apparently
"He knows no limits"
The Game Awards gaffer and ex-journalist Geoff Keighley hooked up with his mate Hideo Kojima at The DICE Awards last night, prompting a spate of hyperbolic tweets. Speaking of the developer's upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive, the Canadian said: "Blown away by the scale and ambition of what Hideo is planning. He
News SMITE Crash Lands on PS4 with Closed Beta in March
A blight on your free time
The rumours were true: SMITE is officially coming to the PlayStation 4. The uber-popular MOBA will enter alpha testing on Sony's system today, with a closed beta set to follow in early March. You can register for a chance to partake in that through here. We've just booked reviewer Alex Stinton into rehab just to ensure...
Over the moon
It's easy to be fooled by Rainbow Moon's light-hearted visuals; you'd be forgiven for thinking that the title bares more resemblance to some free-to-play mobile fancy, for example, than it does an 80 hour fantasy epic. However, underneath its fun-loving exterior, SideQuest Studios' popular adventure is just that and more. There's a...
Push Share What PS4 Screenshots Have You Been Sharing? - Issue 8
Now with added photo contest
Push Share is supposed to be a bi-weekly feature, but this humble editor went and screwed up last Friday by totally forgetting all about it. Absolutely unforgivable, we know, but at least we're back on track this week with some fresh PlayStation 4 screenshots. What's more, to make up for our disgusting blunder, we're...
News Fallout 4 Has a Secret that No One Has Discovered Yet
According to Todd Howard
Fallout 4's back in the headlines recently following the game's downloadable content reveal, and Bethesda creative director Todd Howard seems adamant to keep people talking about the studio's latest release. During his DICE talk last night, Howard teased a "secret" in Fallout 4 that, as far as he's aware, no one has...
News Metal Gear Solid, Knack Are Japan's Best Selling PS4 Games
Cerny you saw this coming?
The PlayStation 4 is nearing its second birthday in Japan, and while it hasn't got off to a flying start, it's still managed to accrue an install base nearing 2.5 million units. But with the Eastern market waiting patiently for Final Fantasy XV and Dragon Quest XI, what's been the console's biggest software drivers so far?...
News Er, Fallout 4 Won Game of the Year at the DICE Awards 2016
Hmmm
If we all assume that Geoff Keighley's livestreamed The Game Awards event is the Pop Justice £20 Music Prize of video game awards ceremonies, then the DICE Awards are the Grammys. That doesn't mean that the 19th annual event held at The Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas overnight wasn't packed with curious victors, however. Fallout...
News Firewatch Patch Improves Shoddy PS4 Performance
Smooth as peanut butter
Firewatch is not a game that demands flawless performance, but it's difficult to stay immersed in the Wyoming wilderness when it's wobbling like a plate of jelly. Fortunately, developer Campo Santo acknowledged the performance issues almost immediately, and has been working hard on a patch ever since. That update's available...
News Street Fighter V Seems to Be Fighting Fit on PS4 Now
Get ready
After what has been an incredibly rocky start to its career, Street Fighter V finally seems to be rising to the challenge, with the game's servers supposedly in good working order. It's about time, of course, but we're just glad that it's up and running. Hopefully it'll be smooth sailing from here on out. This isn't just us assuming...
News So, Hideo Kojima Seems Pretty Sold on PlayStation VR
Virtual insanity
To say there's no scepticism surrounding PlayStation VR would be a lie. Every time we write about the peripheral – or virtual reality in general – it comes under some criticism from both readers and the wider web alike. But speaking with Polygon, ex-Metal Gear Solid maker Hideo Kojima has suggested that the cynicism is misplaced...
News Hideo Kojima's PS4 Exclusive Will Be a 'Big Scale' Game
And won't be virtual reality
Hideo Kojima is not a man who does things by half. This is a guy who, famously, is such a control freak that he has a hand in practically everything pertaining to his titles; he's the Prince of the video game industry, and it should come as no surprise that Virgo is his star sign. It shouldn't surprise you that he's...
News Tales from the Borderlands Getting Boxed Release on PS4, PS3
Rhys' pieces
Tales from the Borderlands will spin a yarn at retail in April, as Telltale Games has confirmed that the game is getting a boxed release. The story-driven spin-off will be available from 22nd April in Europe and 26th April in North America on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Unsurprisingly, it will comprise all five episodes from...
Round Up Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 PS4 Reviews Start to Sprout
Green, green grass of dope
Critics have started slathering fertiliser on top of their Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 reviews, and we're starting to see the fruits of their labour. A handful of American sites have published reviews for the under-the-radar floral-based foray today, and because we haven't got our copy yet, we've planted them...
News Just Cause 3's New Sky Fortress DLC Looks Suitably Insane
There is a castle on a cloud
The first DLC in Just Cause 3's Season Pass, Sky Fortress, has been announced via an explosive trailer on YouTube. The add-on launches in March (a week earlier for Season Pass holders) and – according to Square Enix – adds three to four hours of new gameplay thanks to a slew of new missions and challenges. More...
News Ubisoft May Be Easing Off Assassin's Creed in Future
Good news?
Assassin's Creed has been an annualised franchise for quite some time. Over the years, we've gotten used to the typical pre-release build up as we near the wintry months when Ubisoft's series usually deploys its mainline entries - but as you may already know, that's not actually happening in 2016. Indeed, you're going to have to wait a...
News Paragon Brings Big Beats and Bad Ass Heroes to PS4
A MOBA for normal people
Well, those Twitch metrics were always going to mean that MOBAs would make a dash to consoles eventually, eh? Paragon, the Unreal Engine 4 take by Epic Games, is trying to be a little different, though, pitching itself as a MOBA that non-crazy people can enjoy. In fact, the developer's trying to avoid the word MOBA entirely...
Site News Our Forum Wants to Find Your Favourite Ever PlayStation Game
Time to vote
Organisational idol themcnoisy is back with another awesome forum contest, with the objective this time to determine the greatest PlayStation game of all time. There'll be a slew of rounds, contests, and battles before the ultimate winner is crowned, with the prologue stage well underway as we write. You've got until 29th February to...
Soapbox Street Fighter V's PS4 Launch Has Been a Bummer
And it could have been so easily avoided
God, I love Street Fighter V. I'm about as good at it as I am guitar – which is to say that I know the major chords, but you can stick your pentatonic scales up your arse – but, like performing a very average rendition of Wonderwall, I'm thoroughly enjoying exploring the basics of Capcom's latest. Cammy's...
News Download The Division's PS4 Open Beta Right Now
Mankind divided
You won't be able to play The Division's open beta until tomorrow on the PlayStation 4 – once again, Microsoft has secured 24 hours of exclusivity – but you can start downloading it from the PlayStation Store right now if you wish. This online stress test is available to everyone with a PlayStation Plus subscription, so you don't...
Weirdness Ubisoft Chiselled a PS4 Out of Stone Because Far Cry Primal
Stoners
Reckon your PlayStation 4's a paperweight in its plastic guise? Well, publisher Ubisoft's crafted an even more useless version of Sony's console – out of stone. It's a publicity stunt for Far Cry Primal which we're totally playing into, but it is pretty cool. The company commissioned accredited master carver Nick Roberson to create the...
News SMITE Might Be Making Its Way to the PS4 Imminently
Zeus on the loose
In news that's sure to stunt reviewer Alex Stinton's addiction recovery, SMITE may be making its way to the PlayStation 4 pretty soon. The uber-popular MOBA's been flirting with Sony's new-gen system for eternity, but now a PEGI rating has more or less confirmed that the title's coming to the Japanese giant's flagship format. Yay?...
Review Dying Light: The Following (PS4)
Not that sort of buggy
Released a little over a year ago, Dying Light turned out to be a satisfyingly brutal zombie murder sim that eschewed a lot of what you expect from such titles. By making speed and evasion stronger weapons than any of the sharp objects that you acquired, when you were stuck at ground level you couldn't help but feel incredibly...
News You'll Be Waiting for The Division's DLC on PS4
Consoles divided
A bit of regurgitated news regarding The Division is doing the rounds today, and because we're sitting twiddling our thumbs waiting to clock off and play Street Fighter V, we figured that we'd share it. Basically, it's been re-confirmed that DLC for Ubisoft Massive's loot-'n'-shooter will arrive 30 days late on the PlayStation 4...
News Characters Are Vanishing from Copies of Street Fighter V on PS4
Ken you believe it
There's a weird bug going on in Street Fighter V right now, only adding to the brawler's somewhat controversial launch. As you may already know, Capcom's latest sports 16 playable characters from Ken and his banana hair to the snot flicking Birdie, but this particular issue actually sees fighters disappear from your available...
News Call of Duty's E-Sports Strategy Is Way Over Our Head
Something about amateurs becoming pros? Dunno
We live and breathe video games at Push Square, but there are enormously popular pockets of the industry that fly over even our heads. Why do millions upon millions of people watch MOBAs on Twitch, for example? Shrugs. What's the structure of the PlayStation 4 sponsored Call of Duty World League? Shrugs...
Review Megadimension Neptunia VII (PS4)
The same old Neptune
Playing through the main storyline of Megadimension Neptunia VII, you'd perhaps be forgiven for thinking of the series' first PlayStation 4 instalment as three different games entirely. Packaged as a trio of story arcs tied together by an overarching plot, you fight across alternate dimensions to save the fate of Gamindustri...
News PS4 Multiplayer Will Be Free This Weekend
No need for a PlayStation Plus sub
You won't need a PlayStation Plus subscription to play PlayStation 4 multiplayer this weekend. Sony's confirmed that in North America at least, online play will be totally free from 00:01AM PT on Friday, 19th February through until 23:59PM PT on Sunday, 21st February. Assuming the servers hold, this may be a good...
Review Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae (PS4)
Live by the sword
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is a bit like Devil May Cry on a budget – a really tight budget. It's a Japanese indie that's all about killer combos, fast reactions, and the process of mastering the game's combat system. Those looking for a story to get stuck into or characters to grow fond of had best move along. In a way, Mitsurugi...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Rolls into the Charts on PS4
Tanks very much
Last week was pretty quiet for new releases in the Land of the Rising Sun, with the likes of Dragon Quest Builders and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 still hanging around in the software top ten. There was one new PlayStation entry worthy of note, however: Valkyria Chronicles Remastered. The remastered edition of the PS3...
News Respond to the Call of Duty in EU PlayStation Store Sale
Cheap as chips and CoD
Fans of Call of Duty will find lots to like in the latest European PlayStation Store sale, as practically every game in the popular property – alongside its DLC – has been discounted through to 2nd March. You'll be able to, for example, get Call of Duty: Black Ops III on the PlayStation 4 with a 35 per cent discount, but...
Feature 5 Firmware Updates the PS4 Desperately Needs in 2016
Sort it out, Sony
Republished on Wednesday, 17th February 2016: We're bringing this feature back from the archives following the news that Sony is about to beta test PS4 firmware update v3.50. The original text follows. Originally published on Tuesday, 5th January 2016: Pipe down at the back – the PlayStation 4 certainly isn't a turd in its...
News Street Fighter V's Online Matchmaking Now Works on PS4
Flawless at the moment
Many of you may have found that examining your fist online in Street Fighter V was virtually impossible last night. The game's servers could be described as flaky at best, but the biggest problem was matchmaking with other players. We tried for about three hours, but couldn't get into a single game. Fortunately, at the time of...
News Sony Wants You to Test the Next PS4 Firmware Update
v3.5 incoming
Its details may be shrouded in secrecy, but Sony wants you to test the next PlayStation 4 firmware update. "Starting today you can sign up to be a beta tester and get a sneak peek at some of the features making their way to your PS4," wrote marketing boffin John Koller on the PlayStation Blog. Exciting, eh? The beta program will begin...
Store Update 16th February 2016 (North America)
Rise up
As in Europe, it's the release of Street Fighter V that's the highlight on the North American PlayStation Store this week. If you're not interested in fighters, however, there are a ton of other titles vying for your attention, including Layers of Fear and Rainbow Moon. Which release will be receiving your quarters? PS4 Games: Layers Of...
News Street Fighter V's PS4 Servers Are Proving Flimsier Than Dhalsim's Limbs
Knocked out
A major release with a heavy emphasis on online play: what could possibly go wrong? Oh right, the servers could falter – and Street Fighter V's have been blowing hot and cold all day. The title completely collapsed overnight, prompting Capcom to bring the game offline for an hour while it fixed the issues. Since then, things have been...
News Fallout 4 Finally Drops a Bomb with DLC Details
Custom robots, taming monsters, and big expansions
Bethesda's finally opened the vault door on its downloadable content plans for Fallout 4, and to be honest, they sound pretty interesting. The open world adventure will be getting three confirmed slices of DLC in the relatively near future, with more coming further down the road. However, we should...
News Fallout 4's Season Pass Is About to Get Pricier on PS4
Start counting your caps
Hmm. Either publisher Bethesda's doing us a brilliant favour, or it's trying to convince more people to buy Fallout 4's Season Pass before reviews for the content spill out. Either way, it's announced that starting from 1st March, the price of the pre-purchase will increase from $29.99 (£24.99) to $49.99 (£39.99). That's a...
News City Shrouded in Shadow Looks Ultra, Man
PS4, Vita survival game shaping up
Japanese television icon Ultraman will cameo in Bandai Namco and Granzella's peculiar Disaster Report meets Godzilla survival sim, City Shrouded in Shadow. The game essentially sees you take control of a male or female office worker, as you try to survive in a city being ravaged by a shadowy fiend. As you have no...
News Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Brings a Different Form of Grinding to PS4, Vita
Pole lark
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 will see you playing with poles on the PlayStation 4 and Vita, a Famitsu article has revealed. Like its predecessors, the forthcoming summer holiday simulator will include a pole dancing mode, so if you're tired of the traditional kind of video game grinding, then it may well be right up your alley. Details are...
News Street Fighter V's Free Cinematic Story Mode Will Take a Couple of Hours to Complete
Gulp
We're going to assume that this isn't going to go down well with the majority of readers, but excitable Street Fighter V producer Yoshinori Ono has hinted that the game's upcoming cinematic story expansion will take between "one or two hours to complete". This is the mode that's coming in June which will presumably mirror Mortal Kombat X's own...
Store Update 16th February 2016 (Europe)
Rise up
Blimey! It's a bloody enormous week on the European PlayStation Store, but there's no denying that Street Fighter V is the highlight. The PlayStation 4 console exclusive's out today, joined by Layers of Fear and Pixel Piracy. Other games due out later in the week include Rainbow Moon, Randal's Monday,
News DOOM's Single Player Campaign Will Last You 13 Gory Hours
Better grab some ammo
We'd like to think that publisher Bethesda is on a roll with the shooters that it's got under its umbrella these days. Much like 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, it would appear that DOOM is going to provide a rather meaty single player experience. The news comes from the title's official Twitter account, where, in reply to...
News Mass Effect: Andromeda's Lead Writer has Jumped Ship to Destiny
Andromeda will "blow people away"
Mass Effect: Andromeda's lead writer, Chris Shlerf, has revealed that he's left the project and is now working at Bungie on Destiny. Going by Shlerf's tweets on the matter, it would appear as though his role has been fulfilled when it comes to BioWare's latest, with him leaving on good terms with the Canadian...
News PlayStation VR May Be Launching Later in the Year Now
GameStop lets slip fall release window
PlayStation VR is still officially due out before July, but we don't think that anyone believes that at this juncture. Our understanding is that the hardware's finished, but Sony's waiting for the software to catch up. And perhaps recognising that developers are still a fair few months off, it may have delayed...
News Dress to Impress with Licensed Street Fighter V Clobber
Geek chic Masters
Street Fighter is one of the few franchises that's more than a game – it's a cultural touchstone. It's no surprise, then, to see merchandise manufacturers go crazy with licensed goods for the latest entry in the fighting franchise. Numskull, known for its seasonal Street Fighter knitwear, has gone particularly nuts ahead of the...
News Here's Hideo Kojima Hangin' Out with Norman Reedus
Quiet mountains
Hideo Kojima, you great big tease. The veteran director, fresh from his global tour with Mark Cerny, has posted a picture of himself hanging out with The Walking Dead star Norman Reedus. The picture is significant, of course, because the talented twosome were set to work together on Silent Hills, the cancelled PlayStation 4 survival...
News Get Champions League Score Updates While You Play PS4
And radio commentary
Fair play to Sony: we quite like the Champions League app on the PlayStation 4. For those of you that haven't been using it since launch, it basically includes a simple fantasy football game and score predictor mode, as well as classic match highlights and more. But the latest update includes some nifty features, including live...
News Not Even Dark Souls III Is Immune to the Season Pass
Who wants to pay for unannounced DLC?
In addition to being utterly fantastic games, there's a rebellious streak to the Souls series that makes it so appealing. We described Bloodborne as the "anti-AAA" in our Game of the Year article on the PlayStation 4 exclusive, and that applies to the franchise as a whole really; it's utterly uninterested in...
News Everybody's Gone to the Rapture Dev Readying New Game Reveal
All publishers have gone to the rapture
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture maker The Chinese Room is getting ready to reveal its next game. The UK-based studio said on Twitter that the announcement will come "in the next couple of weeks". However, you probably shouldn't anticipate the finished article, as it added that it plans to be "pretty open about...
Guide Mastering the Basics in Street Fighter V on PS4
Follow your fist
Street Fighter V is finally here, and we think that the game's easier to learn than ever. This is great news for those who've always wanted to leap into the genre, but it can still be daunting, and sometimes, asking for advice – even with the best will in the world – can simply make things more confusing. The best fighting...
No strings attached
Pretty much from the moment that Coldwood Interactive's creative director, Martin Sahlin, took to the stage during EA's E3 2015 press conference, we had a good feeling about Unravel. Sure, Sahlin was very visibly nervous, but it was in an endearing way, and if anything, made our early impressions of the game even more positive...
Feature What Modes Do You Actually Get in Street Fighter V on PS4?
Also, a quick content roadmap
For our money, Street Fighter V is easily the best brawler on the PlayStation 4 – and it may just be one of the greatest fighting games ever made. The sequel's peerless ability to fuse accessibility with tournament tier depth is its true strength, but it does come with a caveat: the single player experience, in its...
Round Up Street Fighter V PS4 Reviews Rise Up
Round one
It's time to rise up and be counted, as Street Fighter V is almost here. The latest entry in Capcom's uber-popular punch-up property is being pitched as a sort of pseudo-service, and phase one rolls out this week, exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PC. But with a lack of single player content threatening to steal the series' championship...
Feature An Introduction to Street Fighter V's F.A.N.G.
Fangs very much
F.A.N.G. – now forever referred to as Fang, thanks – was the final character revealed for Street Fighter V's release. Not many people know a great deal about the lanky weirdo, as he hasn't been available during any beta tests, so allow us to shine a light on Bison's newest sycophant. First thing's first: Fang's really going to...
Fight for the future
PlayStation 4 console exclusive Street Fighter V is upon us. Aimed at expanding the fighting franchise's fanbase, much has been made of its approach to accessibility. Some welcome the push, while others are warier, afraid that accessibility precludes depth. Are these fears confirmed, or is the release a worthy successor to the...
News Watch the Brutal Opening to The Walking Dead: Michonne on PS4, PS3
Spoilers, obvs
The Walking Dead returns next week, with Telltale's anticipated Michonne miniseries. This three episode short will tell the tale of one of Robert Kirkman's most popular protagonists, as the titular character comes to terms with the demons of her past. You can watch the first five minutes of her story below, but beware: spoilers...
First Impressions Hitman PS4 Brings the Franchise Back to Its Golden Years
Our thoughts from the beta
It's safe to say that a lot of people were feeling quite nervous about the annoyingly named Hitman. Its episodic release schedule worried many people, and tensions were high after the disappointing Hitman: Absolution – would Square Enix mess up again? After playing the beta for many hours, however, it seems that there's...
News Heavy Rain's PS4 Price Won't Dampen Your Mood if You've Already Bought Beyond
Wet and wild
Quantic Dream's anticipated #Emotion compilation will launch at retail on 4th March for the PlayStation 4 in Europe, but if you've already bought Beyond: Two Souls for your new-gen system, then you'll be able to nab Heavy Rain at a discounted price. The asking fee, in the UK at least, sits at a very reasonable £7.99. The port of the...
News Destiny's Crimson Days Event Has Been a Big Waste of Time
Thankfully, Bungie's fixed it
Did you decide to take part in Destiny's Valentine's Day-themed event over the weekend? Crimson Days allows Guardians to set up two-on-two Crucible matches with the promise of some exclusive rewards, but we've read some horror stories with regards to the lovey-dovey loot - or lack thereof. One of the big draws for this...
News Hitman Go Suits Up on PS4, Vita Next Week
Looking sharp
Critically acclaimed turn-based stealth game Hitman Go is sneaking to the PlayStation 4 and Vita on 23rd February, Square Enix has announced on its blog. In case you haven't heard of the spin-off, it's a strategy game played on a grid-based map in which you have to time your moves to coincide with the movement of the guards. Back when...
