The drop
There's tons to choose from in this week's North American PlayStation Store update, with Helldivers, White Night, and Zombie Army Trilogy all available on the PlayStation 4. It's a particularly big week for the PlayStation Vita, with La-Mulana Ex and OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood also up for grabs. And, of course, there are those
Feature What Are March 2015's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
New 'N' Tasty
After days of rumour, speculation, and Fred Dutton stalking, Sony has finally revealed March's roster of free PlayStation Plus games. If the drama leading up to the reveal wasn't riveting enough, there's plenty in the selection, too, as a borked European PlayStation Blog URL suggests that we were getting Dishonored originally. Either...
News March's Free PlayStation Plus Games include Oddworld PS4, OlliOlli 2, and Valiant Hearts
Counter Spy, Sherlock Holmes, and more up for grabs
We've waited six long days for Sony to announce March's roster of PlayStation Plus freebies, so it was inevitable that the organisation would drop the lineup just as we were about to tuck into our hot dog and chips. Taking us away from our dinner this month are Oddworld: New 'N' Tasty and Valiant...
News HBO GO Sits in the PS4's Iron Throne from Today
Ice and fire
It's taken its sweet time, but HBO GO will finally stream to the PlayStation 4 from today in North America. The application will work just like the PlayStation 3 version, and will ask you to authenticate your console with your current cable/satellite service through here. Once you've done so, you'll be free to catch up with shows like...
News Mad Max Hits the Road on PS4 from 1st September
Road warrior
How to derail a carefully curated public relations push: set the embargo around the same time as Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's release date leaks. Warner Bros couldn't have predicted this afternoon's circumstances, of course, but we suspect that a few folks at Swedish developer Avalanche Studios will be kicking themselves right...
Rumour Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Sneaks to PS4, PS3 on 1st September
Kept you waiting, huh?
Remember that big Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain announcement? Well, it looks like it's just leaked. The web is currently going gaga over a screenshot from an IGN video, which hints that the latest entry in Hideo Kojima's colossal stealth series will deploy on 1st September on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. This...
Out This Week Helldivers, OlliOlli 2, Oreshika, Zombie Army Trilogy
Too much to take
Busy, busy, busy – but Out This Week is (relatively) on time. After a couple of quiet weeks, the video game industry has opted to pack everything into a single week, with the Game Developers Conference, a special Project Morpheus event, and more new releases than we care to count all dropping at once. Fortunately, we thrive under...
Guide Helldivers PS4, PS3, PlayStation Vita Hints and Tips for Killing Alien Scum
Just dropping in
As we wrote in our review, Helldivers is a great downloadable game. Taking the fight to aliens across a multitude of different planets, there's little more satisfying than taking chunks out of big beasties with a barrage of bullets. Sadly, not everyone can adapt to the life of a Helldiver so easily. Starting out can be tough, even...
Review OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood (PlayStation 4)
Boardwalk bliss
There's only one way to build upon a game's success: take the original concept, tack on a Hollywood theme, and pack it full of puns. British developer Roll7's clearly been taking tips from fellow favourite Hello Games, as OlliOlli 2: Welcome to Olliwood [Sigh – Ed] has followed an almost identical progression to daredevil...
News Play Bloodborne on PS4 Before It Curdles Store Shelves at EGX Rezzed
Oodles of awesome indie games, too
Sony's brilliant PlayStation 4 exclusive action role-playing release Bloodborne will be repulsing retail in the not too distance future, but if you can't wait to lay your fingers on From Software's fearsome foray, don't worry – as it'll be on display at EGX Rezzed next week. The UK-based convention – which is...
News Shovel Knight: Plague of Shadows Unearths Free Additional Campaign
A plague on your spade
Here's another reason to dig into Shovel Knight when it launches on PlayStation platforms in April: it'll be succeeded by a free expansion named Plague of Shadows. Due out in Q2 2015, the complimentary campaign will see you assume the role of the Plague Knight, a "villainous master of alchemy" seeking to concoct
News 3D Realms' Bombshell Reboots with a Few More Clothes
Dressed to kill
3D Realms' forthcoming isometric shooter Bombshell still looks like the kind of game that 90s smackheads would swoon over – but at least protagonist Shelly Harrison has learned that naturism and an occupation as a bomb disposal specialist don't necessarily go hand-in-hand. Packing a less pronounced Ellie Goulding-esque haircut and...
News Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Will Snog Your PS4 in May
Limited edition also revealed
We quite liked Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD when it launched on PlayStation 3 and Vita last year. The PS2 classics have aged surprisingly well, with the first game's often emotional story still managing to hold its own. If your hunger for teen romance and rather epic boss battles hasn't yet been sated, however, you'll be...
News You Can Now Make Your Own PS4 Games for Free with Unreal Engine 4
Open the floodgates
Epic Games' game creation suite Unreal Engine was enormously successful in the previous generation, but it's found its grip on the industry loosening of late. With the uber-popular Unity providing a gateway for fledgling developers, and most big publishers like EA Games, Konami, and Capcom building proprietary technology, the...
News Bloodborne Begins the Hunt with Inviting PS4 Commercial
This game's going to cut you down
We all know that Bloodborne's going to be tougher than a reinforced ginger nut, but Sony's clearly banking on bringing in some more casual players with this TV spot. The clip includes foul beasts, a rambling narrator stuck in staccato mode, and some light rock to round things out. It's nice to see the firm actually...
Review Helldivers (PlayStation 4)
Lead farming
Super Earth is expanding, and it's your job to do the dirty work. The Helldivers are called in to slaughter alien life forms so that mankind can extend its reach across the galaxy, and that means you're going to need a lot of big guns, air support, and explosives. A co-op shooter for up to four players, both locally and online,...
Review Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare - Havoc (PlayStation 4)
Eating John Malkovich
If there's one thing that was missing from every previous Call of Duty DLC pack, it was the ability to play as that one guy from the first two seasons of The Walking Dead. Also, John Malkovich, whose performance as himself in Being John Malkovich was the part that he was born to play. Celebrity cameos aside, Havoc adds some of...
News Sony Still Schtum on March's PlayStation Plus Update
Expect more information tomorrow, maybe
This is where PlayStation needs to improve. We were expecting March's roster of PlayStation Plus freebies to be announced last week, but the platform holder failed to deliver an update. This wasn't so bad, as SCEE's ever approachable Fred Dutton provided a line of communication with European consumers,...
News Amplitude Pumps Up the Volume in New Gameplay Trailer
Bring the beat back
Ah, the eternal conundrum: how do you make a game accessible to casual players without sacrificing the depth for hardcore fans? Amplitude thinks that it's found the solution in the form of Team Play, with this brand new trailer including the first ever footage of the title's 2v2 and 3v1 gameplay modes. The results are, er,...

News Dragon Quest Heroes Is Getting Free Expanded Story DLC
Can't complain
Dragon Quest Heroes may have only just released in Japan, but that hasn't stopped publisher Square Enix from announcing some free DLC. The content, which is due out this week, focuses on a sub-story that features Alena and Kiryl, two of the game's playable characters who originally hail from Dragon Quest IV. With any luck, the...

News Sony's PS4 Ads Encourage a Bad Work Ethic in Japan
Too many games, too little time
Sony's really going all out in Japan right now, attempting to capitalise on the PlayStation 4's impressive software lineup. As part of its marketing onslaught, it's recruited actor and singer Takayuki Yamada to star in a handful of commercials, which show that gaming is way more important than being your average...
News UK Sales Charts: Delayed Dying Light Dethrones PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886
Apocalypse at last
Dying Light may be extraordinarily late rising from its grave, but that hasn't stopped the Techland developed title from making an assault on the UK sales charts. The frightening free-runner brushed aside previous best seller The Order: 1886, which slipped all the way into fourth. Given the PlayStation 4 release's short running...
News Dragon Ball XenoVerse Connection Issues Being Looked into by Bandai Namco
Well versed
We should have all expected this, really. Launching in Europe late last week, the rather enjoyable Dragon Ball XenoVerse is understandably popular among fans, but, of course, this has led to a number of online related issues. Reports are flooding in that the game's servers are struggling, as Time Patrollers from across the globe attempt...
News Bungie's Looking into Changing Destiny's Crucible Rewards System
Gunning for gold
To say that Destiny's loot system can be a bit frustrating is an understatement. Whether you're blessed by the random number Gods or not, you're rarely ever guaranteed a nice new weapon or armour piece, and this has no doubt been a source of negativity for many Guardians since the game launched last year. Fortunately, that's set to...
News Educate Yourself with This In-Depth Guide to Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's Combat
Grade A
As we've pointed out a few times now, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD isn't your typical Final Fantasy game. Last week, we got a nice overview of the title thanks to its latest trailer, but if you want an even better glimpse of the release's action, then we've got just the thing. The video, which is part of the publisher's Square Enix Plays series,...
News Stealth Inc 2 Infiltrates PS4, PS3, and Vita in April
A game of clones
Curve Studios' kooky arcade espionage escapade Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones will give the Wii U the slip next month, as it infiltrates the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita. Previously released as an exclusive for Nintendo's current flagship format, the sequel will join its predecessor on Sony's suite of systems. Expanding...
News One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Looks Grand in This Action-Packed New Trailer
We'll meet again
Providing us with what is probably our best look at the release so far, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3's newest trailer shows off characters, action, cutscenes, and more. In what should be a pretty meaty story mode, the game's set to cover a lot of ground. Big boss battles seem like they'll play an important role, as will panelled...
Push Rewind Dragon Ball XenoVerse, March PlayStation Plus Delays, Spring Fever
On fire
And so an absolutely enormous week on Push Square comes to a close. There were tons of highlights this time, but Dragon Ball XenoVerse and the ongoing PlayStation Plus saga have to come out on top. For those out of the loop on the latter story, Sony's still yet to announce March's big Instant Game Collection update – despite the new month...

News Rockstar Keeping Red Dead Redemption PS4 Holstered for Now, Reckons Pachter
Studio won't jump the gun

News This Yakuza Zero Commercial Has Got It All and More
TGI Friday
Fledgling marketing managers take note: this is how you sell a video game. Yakuza Zero's overseas advertisement may only have 15 seconds to work with, but it crams bad fashion, brutal beat downs, and Super Hang-On all into its reduced running time. If this doesn't make you want to own Kazuma Kiryu's latest, you're not human.
News Mortal Kombat X May Yet Have 2015's Campest Campaign
Story trailer is oh so silly
We thought that Until Dawn was a shoo-in for the stupidest story of 2015, but Mortal Kombat X may yet give it a run for its money. This brand new video of NetherRealm's forthcoming fighter includes a peek at some of the cut-scenes from the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 title's single player mode – and it's all...

News Bloodborne's New Boss Will Cause You Grievous Bodily Harm
Bone crusher
No, that's not an Iron Maiden album cover – it's actually the latest boss to be revealed for PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne. Imaginatively named the Darkbeast, the malformed monster consists mostly of electricity and bones. He also appears borderline impossible to beat. Par for the course for From Software's forthcoming release,...
News In Case You Missed It, Here's a Fantastic Look at Final Fantasy XV's Dynamic Wildlife
Natural beauty
Originally appearing in Square Enix's most recent Active Time Report livestream, this trailer's bound to drum up some hype for Final Fantasy XV. We don't say that lightly, either, as this look at the game's dynamic wildlife is fantastic from start to finish. Many titles have tried to create believable, living ecosystems, but we dare...
Guide Dragon Ball XenoVerse PS4, PS3 Tips for Being a Better Brawler
No anti-gravity training required
It can be tough being a Dragon Ball fan, can't it? Not every licensed game's good enough to scratch that insatiable itch for Akira Toriyama's action packed creation, but thankfully, while not perfect, Dragon Ball XenoVerse is actually pretty great. As such, we're sure that many of you have already rushed out and...
News Sony Japan's Managed to Lose an Entire List of PlayStation Competition Winners
Kaaaaaaaaz!
Oh dear, Sony. The company's made a bit of a comical error today, as its Japanese arm has somehow lost the list of winners from a competition that it held last year. The contest, which involved registering a special code for a chance to win a 20th Anniversary Edition PlayStation 4, is now starting over again, as Sony's letting entrants...

News Japanese Sales Charts: God Eater 2 Prompts PS Vita Sales to Burst
Deity delicacy
Bandai Namco's hunting reissue God Eater 2: Rage Burst caused PlayStation Vita sales to explode in Japan last week, as Media Create data shows that the handheld moved 35,203 units, up from a dismal 10,901 units the period prior. The game itself sold 234,180 copies on Sony's portable console, but could only muster 37,824 copies on the...
News PlayStation's Winning the Digital Games Revenue War
And by quite some margin, it seems
When looking at console sales, people often overlook the network impact. Indeed, we're so focused on hardware numbers that we tend to forget that every PlayStation 4 sold means a potential PlayStation Plus subscription and various PlayStation Network purchases as well. It would appear that Sony's quietly lapping up...
News Toukiden: Kiwami's PS4 and Vita Cross-Play Looks Pretty Neat
Cross combo
Cross-play is a decent little feature, when you think about it. Allowing players using different consoles to play with each other, it's a good, simple way to expand the base amount of users. Toukiden: Kiwami's latest trailer shows cross-play in action between the PlayStation 4 and Vita versions of the upcoming release. Obviously if you...
News Ubisoft's Going to Put More Modern Day Stuff in Future Assassin's Creed Games
Oh dear
We don't know about you, but we don't think that the lack of modern day content was Assassin's Creed Unity's biggest problem. Sure, it was almost non-existent and consisted of little more than a few daft cutscenes, but at least this meant that it didn't really get in the way of the historical story or its pacing. This particular author has...
Weirdness Sony Craftily Joins Dress Colour Debate
Introducing the new white and gold DualShock 4

News Not Quite Sure What Final Fantasy Type-0 HD Is? This New Trailer Will Help You Out
Take notes, class
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a bit of a weird one. It's certainly not a traditional Final Fantasy game; it's got a rather dark tone, and it features action based combat. As such, you may be wondering just what the title's all about, but thankfully, publisher Square Enix has the answers. The trailer that we've embedded, which spans...

News Apparently, People Buy PS4s Over Xbox Ones and Wii Us for the Resolution
Hmmmm
This should go down well. According to a report by Nielsen, the PlayStation 4 is selling like hotcakes due to "better resolution". We know, we're not exactly sure what to make of this, either. The publication quizzed consumers on what aspects of current-gen consoles they found most attractive, while in the process of purchasing their new...

Penal infection
You never know quite what you're going to get with Resident Evil anymore.
