  • News PS4's Push Me Pull You May Yet Repulse You

    Gloriously gross multiplayer sports title

    Conceived after an evening playing Noby Noby Boy while high on brutal hash, Push Me Pull You may just be the most brilliantly bizarre game we've ever seen. Part of a new breed of local multiplayer minigames, the stretchy Australian developed outing will see you pairing up with a partner in order to control a...

  • News Turn the Pages of Odin Sphere's Gorgeous PS4 Storybook Edition

    Book worm

    Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir – the game responsible for single-handedly setting fire to the Push Square spell checking tool. We'll forgive it the pain, heartache, and second degree burns purely on the basis that it looks freakin' rad, though – and its PlayStation 4 exclusive Storybook Edition happens to be just as tasty. Due out in Spring...

  • Soapbox Call of Duty: Black Ops III's Campaign Is Among the Worst in the Franchise

    Cy-bored

    I have played nearly every Call of Duty campaign since Finest Hour in 2005. I've endured the trenches of World War II in gritty missions with Call of Duty 2 and World at War. I've stopped a traitor from deceiving the world in Modern Warfare 2, prevented a biochemical out

  • News Rocket League Returns with Free PS4 Wasteland Arena

    Mad match

    The gift that keeps giving is about to go a bit Mad Max, as Rocket League is gearing up for the release of its first "non-regulation" arena, Wasteland. This new pitch – which will be free for all players – is bigger than previous stadiums, and features irregular boost placements. It's also sloped around the perimeter, making matches...

  • News Star Wars Battlefront's PS4 Bundle Looks Better in the Flesh

    Sith sense

    We've never been especially keen on the Darth Vader-themed Star Wars Battlefront PlayStation 4 console, but we must admit that it looks much better in the flesh. PlayStation Access were lucky enough to get their paws on the limited edition, and while we worry that the glossy nature of both the system and its controller will prompt finger...

  • News There's a Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 Demo Leaping to a PS4 Near You

    There's a storm brewing

    Much to the disappointment of headband-wearing super fans, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 was delayed into 2016 earlier this year. Still slated for a first quarter release, it shouldn't be too long before you've got your hands on the latest shinobi brawler, but for those of you who can't wait, we've got some good...

    Augment your way out of that one

    Well, we always thought that early 2016 was too good to be true. As Mirror's Edge Catalyst's retreat has already shown, the period is absolutely packed with new releases - and today, we're sad to report that we have another casualty in this war for your hard earned money. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has been hit with a...

  • News This PS4 Bundle Is for Everyone That Skipped the PS3

    Welcome to the family

    Well, this is… Awkward. Sony's been chastised by many armchair pundits for putting too many resources into remasters – but this new European 1TB PlayStation 4 bundle comes with three of them. It looks like a bad joke at first blush, but the platform holder's clearly looking to capture non-PlayStation 3 owners with this...

  • News You'll Want to Main Cloud After Watching This Dissidia Final Fantasy Trailer

    PS4 port, anyone?

    We've been saying it for a while now, but Dissidia Final Fantasy looks bloody brilliant. The brawler, which features characters of all shapes and sizes from Square Enix's staple role-playing series, only exists as a Japanese arcade game at this point - but it's basically running on PlayStation 4 hardware. In other words, the...

  • News PS4 Smashes Two Million Sales Milestone in Japan

    System selling steady overseas

    The perception among gamers is that the PlayStation 4 is flopping in Japan, but while it's certainly not firing on all cylinders in the Eastern nation, it's still doing reasonably well. Today's big Media Create update has revealed that the console has now crossed two million sales in Sony's home territory, which is a...

  • News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and Black Ops III Reign Supreme

    PS4 crosses two million milestone

    Call of Duty: Black Ops III enjoyed its second week at the top of the Japanese software charts according to the latest Media Create numbers.

  • Poll How Well Is Fallout 4 Running on Your PS4?

    We hope it's rad

    It's been about a week since Fallout 4 launched, so we think that it's a pretty good time to get some feedback on how Bethesda's latest is performing. As you're no doubt aware, the developer doesn't have the best track record when it comes to making games that run as they should - but from what we've watched and read around the...

    Soul searcher

    If you're not exactly feeling the festive cheer yet, then perhaps you may enjoy indulging your masochistic side with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin, which has been discounted this week on the European PlayStation Store. The punishing but popular game will be available for £19.99 until 25th November, which is cheaper than on...

  • Store Update 17th November 2015 (North America)

    Feel the force

    It's a big week on the North American PlayStation Store, with Star Wars leading the charge. Battlefront should need no introduction, but it's worth pointing out that SNES smash Super Star Wars is also out in the US today. And if you're not into George Lucas' sci-fi series, then perhaps Deadpool or Game of Thrones: Episode 6 will...

  • Weirdness Zombi Rises Again for Retail on PS4

    Boxed version to emerge on 21st January

    Talk about beating the undead horse – Ubisoft has decided to announce a boxed retail version of Zombi, a game that it's pretty much bled dry over the course of three years. First starting out as a Wii U game, Zombi then was ported to PS4 earlier this year, and was well received by reviewer Greg Giddens, who...

  • News This Is Your Last Chance to Get Tales of Zestiria's Free DLC Chapter

    You don't even need the game to download it

    We quite like Tales of Zestiria, so we reckon that it'd be a shame if some of you lot missed out on its free downloadable content. Alisha's Story is an additional chapter that focusses on, you guessed it, Alisha, the spear wielding princess - and it's only freely available until tomorrow in Europe. In...

"Our goal is to make future Battlefront games as well as other style games around the Star Wars franchise," CFO Blake Jorgensen stated during a talk at the UBS Global...

  • Review Battle Trivia Knockout (PS4)

    The quizmaster is out on his feet

    It was legendary World War 2 soldier General Patton who said "battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge". We don't think that he'd have said that if he'd just been playing Battle Trivia Knockout on his PlayStation 4. Battle Trivia Knockout from Happy Dance Games sees you "fight"...

  • Store Update 17th November 2015 (Europe)

    C3P-Go

    Three consecutively enormous weeks on the PlayStation Store conclude with the latest European PlayStation Store update, as Star Wars Battlefront becomes the last big game to hit the PlayStation 4 before Just Cause 3 next month. Deadpool and The Crew: Wild Run are also out this time, with various bits of DLC for

    Park life

    Funcom's bringing its survival horror experiment The Park to the PlayStation 4 in 2016.

  • News Transforming Schoolgirls Strike Dead or Alive 5 with New Costume Crossover

    Naturally

    School Girl Strikers is a Japanese mobile game that sees players collect cards of transforming schoolgirls and battle with them. In other words, it's exactly the kind of property that you'd expect Dead or Alive 5: Last Round to collaborate with. The majority of the brawler's female characters get their own outfit with this latest pack,...

  • News Star Wars Battlefront's PS4 Launch Didn't Quite Go to Plan

    A disturbance in the force

    Star Wars Battlefront's received something of a lukewarm critical response, but it prompted outrage overnight as thousands of gamers attempted to boot their PlayStation 4 pre-loads – only to be greeted by an error message. It seems that those who downloaded the Ultimate Edition were afflicted by a 'CE-34632-8' glitch,...

  • News SEGA to Deploy Two Valkyria Chronicles Titles on the PS4

    But only announced for Japan at the moment

    Will there ever be a better year for unexpected game announcements?

The company also announced that an all-new entry, Valkyria of the Blue Revolution,...

  • Round Up Star Wars Battlefront PS4 Reviews Feel the Force

    Out of this world?

DICE appears poised to take advantage of the situation, with its flashy multiplayer focused Battlefront reboot possessing all of the...

  • News SNES Classic Super Star Wars Charges Its Lightsaber on PS4, Vita

    Buy it, you must

    Star Wars Battlefront may not be the best sci-fi spin-off in town this week. Sony has confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that SNES classic Super Star Wars will be releasing on the PlayStation 4 and Vita on 17th November – in North America at least. There's no word on how much it'll cost, but

    Bombs dropped

    As expected, Fallout 4 absolutely scorched the UK sales charts this week, entering in first position and securing the third biggest launch of the year so far.

  • Push Rewind Fallout 4, Fallout 4, and More Fallout 4

    Fallout 4?

    Apologies if you feel that the content mix hasn't been quite right on Push Square this week, but Fallout 4 really has been the biggest game to hit the PlayStation 4 since… Well, Call of Duty: Black Ops III. The point is that we loved the game and knew that a ton of you would be playing it, so we wanted to bring you as much coverage as...

  • News EA's Cover Curse Continues with Ronda Rousey

    Not so rowdy

    EA Sports UFC 2 was officially announced this week, with superstar Ronda Rousey revealed as the cover athlete.

This isn't the first time that the headline attraction to an EA game has suffered a dramatic fall from grace...

  • News A Huge Happy Birthday to the PS4 on Its Second Birthday

    Party like it's 2013

    Much like a nipper, the PlayStation 4 has been walking the walk for a while, but on its second birthday, it's starting to talk the talk, too. For those of you that don't remember, on this day two years ago, Sony's new-gen system launched in North America. The rest of the world was made to wait a couple of weeks as the Japanese...

    High vaultage

    Vault dwellers found a different kind of joystick to play with on Fallout 4's launch day, as adult site Pornhub – not linked for obvious reasons – reported a 10 per cent decline in traffic on the day of the role-playing game's release. Apparently page views dipped at 05:00AM on 10th November, around the time most people would have...

  • News PS4 Exclusives Dominate The Game Awards' Most Wanted

    2016 shaping up to be stellar

    Despite the brilliant Bloodborne still being the highest rated exclusive of the year, there's been some dissatisfaction with the PlayStation 4's exclusive offerings since launch. Next year looks set to change that perception once and for all, though, as Sony has assembled a dizzying roster of first-party software –...

  • News What Do You Get in Star Wars Battlefront's Season Pass?

    Early access to four expansions

    Ah, the obligatory season pass – it'd take a force greater than nature itself for Star Wars Battlefront to forgo one.

Well, the main selling point appears to be the...

  • News Ridiculous Fallout 4 Numbers Point to Bethesda's Most Successful Launch Ever

    It certainly didn't bomb

    Bethesda seems to have really knocked it out with Fallout 4. The post-apocalyptic role-playing game has been headlining every major gaming website all week now, so it's safe to say that it's popular – but even its most optimistic fans wouldn't have thought that it'd be this popular. The studio has stated that the title...

  • News Expect More PS4 Games from Naughty Dog After Uncharted 4

    Well, duh

    At the time of typing, the PlayStation 4 is days away from its second birthday. For some reason, though, people are already looking ahead to the next generation.

    In backward compatibility, Microsoft's finally got an Xbox One feature that it can shout about it – and it's sure trying its hardest to make a bit of noise.

  • News October 2015 NPD: PS4's Halo Slips as System Slumps to Second Defeat of the Year

    Bruised but not broken

    Sony couldn't muster a sixth successive NPD victory in October 2015, as the Xbox One and Halo 5 managed to overcome the PlayStation 4's price drop. In truth, it looks like it was a pretty middling month for home consoles in the United States, with sales barely increasing year-over-year. However, it's worth remembering that the...

    Okay, so if you didn't already know, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege is getting a year's worth of free downloadable content.

  • Talking Point Should Sony Build an Elite DualShock 4 Controller for PS4?

    A more joyful joystick

    The announcement of the Xbox One Elite controller at E3 2015 was met with furrowed brows here at Push Square Towers. It wasn't that we thought the controller looked bad – far from it – but we felt that peripherals are already outrageously priced on both new-gen consoles, so who would ever stump up $149.99 for a single...

  • News Capcom Hopes Street Fighter V Will Attract a New Audience

    Company is looking at esports and younger players

    We wouldn't say that the Street Fighter series is impenetrable. Just about anyone can pick one of the games up and bash out a few basic attacks - but it's often the massive amount of depth that's to be found in competitive play which is too much for many players to wrap their head around. It's always...

    Light our darkest hour

    Why hasn't Dissidia Final Fantasy been announced for the PlayStation 4 yet? The game – which will launch in Japanese arcades later this month – is being built using hardware based on Sony's new-gen system, so it'll surely be a lock for the format in the future. We hope so anyway, because as this character trailer p

  • News You're Going to Want This Gravity Rush PS4 Theme

    Gravity Rush is coming to the PlayStation 4, which is outstanding news.

    It's been two years since 2K Sports took the reins from THQ and began to offer its own spin on the flagship WWE game series, with last year's entry very much seeming like a testing ground for the company's ambitious goals.
