First Impressions Scratching Our Heads Through Soul Axiom on PS4
Axiom verge
What do you get when you mix Tron with BioShock Infinite and Antichamber – and sprinkle a helping of Indiana Jones on top? The answer is, er, Soul Axiom. At least, that's the vibe that we got during a hands-on session with an early build of the game. The follow-up title from Master Reboot developer Wales Interactive, this is shaping up...
News Avalanche Studios to Blow the Doors Off Just Cause 3 Next Week
Rico arena
Can this week darn well end already? If we could sum it up in meme form, we'd use that one with foul language and a sizeable slice of sarcasm. Avalanche Studios is the latest developer to get in on the 'it's effing nothing' act, announcing that it'll be showing more of Just Cause 3, er, next week. Well, isn't this the most riveting news...
News Submerged Plunders the Depths of the PlayStation 4
How low can you go?

With the latter of the duo injured, it's down to you to plunder this strange aquatic settlement for supplies – using little more...

News The Witcher 3's TV Spot Is Short and Sweet
Going pro
The hype's really starting to kick in when it comes to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. CD Projekt Red's open world project is less than a month away from release, and as such, it's about time that it pushed out a television spot for the game. The CG advert (boo!) sets the tone quite nicely, as ever-grizzly protagonist Geralt brings down a big...

Arklay adventure
It turns out that classic survival horror is still popular: Resident Evil HD, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remaster of Capcom's legendary GameCube remake, has sold more than one million copies worldwide.

News Formula Fusion Is the PS4 WipEout That You've Been Waiting For
How fast do you wanna go?
Studio Liverpool may have been sadly shuttered, but its legacy lives on in Formula Fusion.

News Deus Ex's Developer Is Having Fun with the New Call of Duty Trailer
Meow
Eidos Montreal may be poking fun at the new Call of Duty: Black Ops III trailer, but secretly we suspect that it'll be a teensy bit nervous this morning. Unfortunately for the firm, its Thief reboot boasted some uncanny similarities to the infinitely superior Dishonored – and now it looks like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be going into...
News Telltale Games Is Teaming Up with Marvel in 2017
Our Spider sense is tingling
Telltale Games appears to have hit the jackpot yet again, as it's announced that it's teaming up with Marvel as part of a new title set to release in 2017. There's no word just yet on which characters will star in this no doubt narrative-driven adventure, but you can bet your bottom dollar on the likes of Spider-Man,...
News Sony's Taking the PS4 on Tour Again This Year
On the road to greatness
Sony's proved over the past 18 months or so that the PlayStation 4's no slouch, but sometimes to pick up new customers, you have to put the console in their hands. It's no surprise, then, that the Road to Greatness tour will be returning this year, as the Japanese giant parks up its custom truck at various music festivals...
News Phwoar! Project CARS Looks Stunning on PS4
Round the bend
With no sign of Gran Turismo on the horizon, Project CARS is a pretty important release for the PlayStation 4. While we're big fans of DriveClub here at Push Square Towers, there haven't really been many other meaningful racing games for Sony's next-gen format just yet – in fact, launch title Need for Speed: Rivals is the only other...

News Call of Duty: Black Ops III Teases a New Race of Super Soldier
(Bionic) arms race
Well, this could be interesting.

In it, we're introduced to a variety of biological enhancements, all of which culminate in a faux-United States official...
Review Tower of Guns (PlayStation 4)
Guns! Guns! Guns!
In the beginning there was a game called Rogue. This ground breaking RPG was swiftly followed by a number of other titles that shared its penchant for randomly generated environments and punishing restarts. Lovingly referred to as Roguelikes, the last fifteen years or so has seen these sorts of titles enjoying a bit of a resurgence...
Talking Point Does the PS4 Really Need Big Holiday Exclusives?
A different perspective
There's been much navel gazing by some of the industry's bigger publications of late: what does Sony have in store for Fall 2015? The delay of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, a tentpole title at any time of the year, has left the PlayStation 4's slate empty; Tearaway Unfolded, Until Dawn, and
News There's Yet Another Big Warframe Content Update Dashing onto PS4

News Overlord: Fellowship of Evil Is Marching to PS4, But It's Not the Game Many Fans Wanted
How very evil
Well, if you had your hopes firmly set on a traditional Overlord game on PlayStation 4, you're going to be disappointed with what Codemasters has come up with. The franchise, which typically sees players assume the role of a comically evil tyrant who controls hordes of horrible minions, has been on hiatus for some time, but it's being...

News Sucker Punch Wants Its Next PS4 Exclusive to Drop Jaws
"We're not satisfied," says studio
Considering that it was an early title and open world, inFAMOUS: Second Son really proved what the PlayStation 4 is capable of. Sure, it may have been a little lacking in the replay value department, but it was a very enjoyable title – and rightly deserved its Gold Trophy award in our Game of the Year rundown...
News PS4's Price Temporarily Cut in the UK to Combat Competitors
Price wars
Sony's temporarily dropped the price of the PlayStation 4 in the UK, as it continues to battle hard against the Xbox One. Those of you that keep a close eye on the British games industry will know that Microsoft recently dropped the price of its machine to £299.99 as part of a "retail-led promotion", and now the Japanese giant's followed...
News Shovel Knight Ploughs a Path to EU PlayStation Platforms
Spade in the USA
It may have only been a day overdue, but let's be honest: Shovel Knight shouldn't have been late in the first place. Fortunately, we can all take solace in the news that Yacht Club Games' critically acclaimed side-scroller is finally available in Europe – apparently it managed to break free from SCEE's infamous QA limbo, which...
News Bloodborne's PS4 Loading Times Just Got Quicker and Prettier
Patch plugs problems
That big Bloodborne logo that used to appear during the PlayStation 4 exclusive's loading screens may be burned into your retinas by now, but it's finally gone.

News Not Everyone Thinks Sony's Resting on Its Laurels with PS4
"Sony is working non-stop"
We suppose that it was inevitable: the PlayStation 4 is the undisputed market leader right now, so of course cynics are heralding the return of the evil Sony of old. To be fair, the organisation's not perfect – Shovel Knight couldn't even release on time, for starters. But, as far as we're concerned, there's absolutely...
Rumour People Are Saying That Sony Will Promote Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Back in black?
Welcome to the latest generation of games consoles – where co-marketing deals have taken the place of the third-party exclusives that don't exist anymore. When you stop and think about it, it's pretty moronic that platform holders are fighting over the rights to advertise games, but this is big business at the moment – just look...
News Destiny's Getting Some Very Positive Changes, Not Just for DLC Buyers
We're getting there
House of Wolves, Destiny's second piece of DLC, releases next month.

Now, Destiny gets a lot of flack,...
Review We Are Doomed (PlayStation 4)
Kaleidoscope of colour
If you were to take Geometry Wars and TxK and produce a hybrid of them, you would most certainly end up with We Are Doomed. This twin-stick arcade shooter is another classic example of the 'easy to learn, hard to master' gameplay philosophy, and it's accompanied by explosive graphics, techno music, and a swarm of simplified...
News The Curious Case of Head Transplants and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Head case
If we assume that Hideo Kojima really is being pushed out of Konami, and his employment status isn't just a big viral marketing move, then the luminary may find his role at the company that little more untenable today. Dr Sergio Canavero, a controversial medical professional vying to complete the world's first ever head transplant, has...
Live Explore Destiny's New Social Space in House of Wolves Right Here
Enter the Reef, for real this time
Destiny players will already know of the Reef; a location that appears on the game's map only to house a couple of story cutscenes and nothing more. The shooter's next slice of DLC, House of Wolves, will open this area up, however, and you'll have a chance to see the DLC's new social space in all of its glory later...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Manages to Cling to the Top Spot Despite Another Drop
Hangin' on in there
Despite the fact that we thought the PlayStation 4 would finally be knocked from its perch at the top last week, Sony's sleek home console actually managed to seize another victory, even though sales have slipped again, this time by around 2000 units. Of course, this is still only possible because of the fact that New 3DS numbers...
Store Update 22nd April 2015 (Europe)
Tonight's the knight
We're running out of spade-related puns, so let us just say things straight: Shovel Knight is out on the European PlayStation Store this week.

News Sony's Already Hyping Japan's Decent Spring and Summer PS4 Lineup
Bat! Batter! Battest!
Sony's not only responsible for the success of the PlayStation 4 in Japan – you get the sense that it's single handedly attempting to maintain the relevancy of home consoles in the nation, too. Throughout the months of March, the manufacturer amassed an impressive roster of software – and the market responded emphatically...
News Adventure Time Investigates PS4, PS3 This Fall
Ooo
There's been a selection of less-than-stellar Adventure Time tie-ins released on PlayStation platforms over the years, but the forthcoming Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations aims to take the popular Cartoon Network series in an all-new direction. Indeed, this outing's shunning the isometric exploits of its immediate predecessor in...
News Sony Really Wants You to Pre-Order PS4 Games on the PlayStation Store
The direct route
There's still no real reason to buy retail games digitally. Yes, this author will freely admit that he likes having DriveClub on his hard drive, ready to play whenever he gets the fancy – but we'd never pay over the odds for a digital download purely for convenience, and we know that the majority of you feel exactly the same way...
News Mortal Kombat X Patch Kleans Up PS4 Punch-'em-Up
Sign-in issues stomped
Mortal Kombat X certainly hasn't suffered with the kinds of issues that were so common last year, but it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing either. Between leaderboards failing to load and frequent online updates, the franchise's fastest selling title has clearly come unstuck by all of the demand. Still, at least developer...

News Activision Says It Won't Drive Guitar Hero into the Ground with Annualised Releases Again
Same strings, different tune
If you were around for the great Guitar Hero boom that was all the rage a good few years ago - a boom that filled multiple homes with currently dust-ridden plastic instruments - then you'll know that Activision all but killed the franchise's demand by releasing more games than most people could keep up with. With the...

Quite the konundrum
You can dive into Mortal Kombat X and have a good time without any prior practice, as the game is pretty easy to get to grips with.

Scream if you wanna go faster
As promised yesterday, DriveClub's latest PlayStation 4 patch has rolled out.

Review Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China (PlayStation 4)
Creed of the chronic
It's been a rocky road for Ubisoft lately, with the publisher on the receiving end of bad press for the likes of Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed Unity. It may be time for a bit of stability, then, and that's where Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China comes into the equation. A 2.5D adventure full to the brim with typical franchise...

Review Paperbound (PlayStation 4)
Crayon carnage

Review Titan Souls (PlayStation 4)
Fall of the Titans
There are people that would say that you deserve to die if you go on your monster-squashing quest armed with nothing but a single arrow, a pink bow in your hair, and a backpack filled with only the finest Waitrose-branded good intentions. Titan Souls doesn't have a story, but it improves the game tenfold if you view it as a fable...
Review MLB 15 The Show (PlayStation 4)
Infield home run
It's hard to believe that MLB The Show is now celebrating its 10th anniversary.

When booting up MLB 15 The Show, there's nothing here...

Splinter hell
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is already darn well hard enough on the PlayStation 4, but a weapon degradation bug makes it even more impenetrable.

Hoth stuff
EA's certainly taken its sweet time properly unveiling Star Wars: Battlefront on the PlayStation 4. Originally announced all the way back at E3 2013, Swedish developer DICE has been quietly beavering away on the long awaited sci-fi reboot ever since. However, as part of the Star Wars Celebration fan event in Anaheim earlier today,
