News You'll Be Getting Tons of Free DLC with PS4 Exclusive DriveClub
Tracks, cars, features
Ever since its announcement approximately 18 months ago, Evolution Studios has pitched DriveClub as an ever evolving package, rather than a traditional game. Now, less than four weeks away from release, the Runcorn-based developer has outlined the title’s post-launch content schedule – and it’s pretty impressive to see...
News Wait, Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Is an Episodic PS4 Game?
Blood curse
Considering that the original Resident Evil: Revelations was divided into distinct episodes like a DVD box set, we suppose that it’s not especially surprising to see its PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel adopt a similar structure – but we can’t help but be a teensy bit thrown off guard. Capcom has revealed that the survival...
News Paul McCartney's Destiny Theme Song Flies without Wings
I am the Warlock
Destiny’s theme song has been written and composed by Paul McCartney, because, well, who else would have the star power required to represent Bungie’s next big thing in audio form? The track – which was recorded at the famous Abbey Road studio with a 120-piece ensemble, of course – has that soaring kind of sound that you’d...

First Impressions What's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Frontline of the Future Like on PS4?
Time to respawn
The Call of Duty series is perhaps one of the most popular yet widely criticised franchises in the modern era of gaming. Fans of the brand adore the game to its core, playing every iteration for countless hours on a quest to reach the maximum prestige; others feel quite opposed to the series and the impact that it has made on the...
Feature Man on the Moon - Our Early Intergalactic Impressions of Destiny on PS4
Star power
If there’s one area where Destiny’s definitely not lacking, it’s in the budget department. You can literally feel the dollar bills bristling against your exposed skin when you sit through the first-person shooter’s opening cinematic; you can sense the dabbed brows and nervous boardroom exchanges as executives wrangle over the...

You can keep that to yourself
If you’re new to the PlayStation 4, or just returning to it due to the release of Destiny, you may have noticed that you’re being bombarded by party notifications from the people on your friends list. This feature was introduced in firmware update 1.70, and is particularly annoying if you’re trying to immerse...
News Sony: We Know Microsoft's Going to Give Us a Run for Our Money
Console maker ain't getting complacent
Everything’s looking rosy in the PlayStation Nation right now. Sony’s next-gen system is running away with the console crown, already surpassing 10 million units, with many more to come this Christmas, we suspect. Moreover, the lineup looks good, with a strong mix of first-party and third-party titles on...
News PS4 Has Rekindled Latent Love for the PlayStation Brand, Says Sony
PlayStation Phwoar
A lot of the PlayStation 4’s success can be attributed to it being the right platform with the right policies that was released at the right time – but to simplify the situation like that would be to overlook all of the hard work that Sony’s done behind-the-scenes. And that includes recapturing the essence of what made its...
News Batman: Arkham Knight Will Swoop onto PS4 Exclusively in Japan
Platform holder pounces
Capping off what must be a particularly rough week for Xbox’s team in Japan, Warner Bros has announced that Batman: Arkham Knight will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive in the Land of the Rising Sun. There’s no word just yet on whether this will be timed, but the title has been removed completely from Microsoft’s website,...
News PS4 May Not Be At the Foot of the Japanese Hardware Charts for Much Longer
There's a new flop in town
Japan may still be considered something of a gaming mecca among some, but its importance in the console space is slowly declining. With many of the region’s biggest developers struggling to adapt to the PlayStation 3 era, and handhelds currently ruling the roost, it’s not exactly a surprise to see the recently released...
Community Become Legend in Our Official Destiny Clan
That slogan makes for some really easy headlines
Scouting the rustic scenery of Old Russia is entertaining enough alone, but it’s infinitely better with friends. Destiny is a title that’s designed to be shared with others; whether it’s the close allies in your Fire Squad or the strangers that you find out in the field, it’s a title that...
News Approximately How Long Does Destiny's Story Take to Beat?
About ten hours
With thousands of cocky whippersnappers to crush in the Crucible and more clothing options than a celebrity’s walk-in wardrobe, Destiny will keep you occupied for hundreds of hours if you enjoy its unique take on the first-person shooter format. However, if you’re just looking to see the story through, you may be eager to learn...

News What's the Best Price for Destiny PS4 in the UK?
Moon dust
Bloomin’ heck, we always suspected that Destiny was going to be a bloody big deal, but even we weren’t expecting the fanfare that has manifested around the first-person shooter over the past few days. Earlier today, Sony revealed that it’s treating the release like one of its own, while there are plenty of reports of ridiculous...
Review Minecraft: PlayStation 4 Edition (PlayStation 4)
Chip off the old block
Minecraft is quite simply one of those games that will go down in history as a truly revolutionary idea. Markus ‘Notch’ Persson’s block busting sandbox has rapidly transformed into a cultural phenomenon, sprouting memorabilia, fancy dress costumes, and, of course, console ports. This PlayStation 4 release is very much...
News Sony: We're Treating Destiny Like a First-Party Release
Platform holder going hard on Bungie's next big thing
You’ve probably already noticed, but Sony is backing Destiny hard. The manufacturer is often criticised for its poor marketing, but ever since the PlayStation 4’s launch last year, it’s done a brilliant job of putting its latest platform in the face of consumers. And that strategy has come...
News Sorry! PlayStation Plus Will Play Host to Plenty More PS4 Indie Games Yet
Good job they're good ones
Velocity 2X is arguably the best PlayStation 4 game of the year so far – and that’s despite it being given away for free with PlayStation Plus. Back when September’s lineup was announced, many deemed it the worst in quite some time, overlooking the fact that FuturLab’s super speedy shooter is seriously stellar. And...
News You Should Probably Ignore This First Destiny PS4 Review
Five minutes of fame
Well, this is more predictable than the next X Factor winner getting dropped by Simon Cowell’s record label within two years, isn’t it? As warned by developer Bungie, a French site has deployed the world’s first review of Destiny – and it’s mixed. In the 6/10 critique, Musga.fr bemoans the first-person shooter’s lack...
News Wow, the PlayStation 4 Is Utterly on Fire in the UK
Already surpassed one million units sold
In console war terms, the PlayStation 3 lost in the UK. Not only did it sell significantly less than its closest competitor the Xbox 360, but it also fell behind in mindshare. Stores would stick Sony’s latest releases right to the back of their video game sections, and newspaper promotions would always show...

Review The Golf Club (PlayStation 4)
Fore the fanatics
Breaking into the sports genre is almost impossible if you’re an indie outfit. There’s money to be made in pub games and the like, but you’re never going to see a ten man team take on FIFA or Madden – the odds of success are significantly worse than Tiger Woods’ now that he’s busted his back. The Golf Club by Canadian...
News Batman: Arkham Knight Removes Its Cloak on PS4 from 2nd June
Be the Batman
Despite originally being pegged for October, the PlayStation 4 will be forced to wait until 2nd June for the Dark Knight to spring into action.

Out This Week Destiny PS4, Destiny PS3, and, Er, Some Hockey
Become legend
It wouldn’t be a Bungie release week without a completely empty release calendar. We can’t help but feel sorry for NHL 15, but we suppose that fans of ice hockey will pick up EA Sports’ latest trip to the ring regardless of the colossal Destiny banners plastered, well, everywhere. If you’re not looking forward to Activision’s...

Destiny is approaching faster than a comet strapped to James Bond’s complete collection of jet packs.

However, if you’re still sitting on the fence, you’ll have to wait a little...
News UK Sales Charts: Watch Dogs Steps Out of Its Kennel for One More Walk
Sorry Aiden, Destiny's coming
Watch Dogs may be the fastest selling new franchise of all time – but it’s about to have that record snatched away.

News This Is How Sony's Greeting the Xbox One in Tier 2 Territories
The tortoise and the hare
Sony’s sold a serious number of PlayStation 4 consoles since the system’s launch in November last year – a respectable 10 million units to be precise – but it’s had a free run at the market in many regions.

Live in a few days
It’s the ultimate first world problem: you’ve extracted your pre-release copy of Activision’s mega shooter Destiny from its sleek shrink wrap, but the servers aren’t yet prepared for you to play online, transforming your brand new Blu-ray into something of an overpriced drinks coaster – after all, who wants to play...

Another port, another GotM award
Two PS3 to PS4 ports in just as many months, and both of them win our Game of the Month award.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 37
It's coming from the moon
Do you hear that in the distance? We're not exactly sure what it is, but it's probably either the sound of millions rejoicing as Destiny finally enters the Earth's atmosphere, or the sound of the PlayStation Network crumbling like the soggiest biscuit that you can possibly imagine. Either way, next week's going to be a big...

Game of the Month August 2014 - Metro Redux
Tunnel of love
It's Game of the Month time once again here at Push Square, and what a busy month for games it was in August.

Back in July, we crowned The Last of Us Remastered as the best release of the Summer month, and...

Better hunker down, because a new storm's brewing in the ongoing — and non-existent — console war.

This essentially means that every advert for the title you see, whether it's on a...

News A Brand New Entry in the Beloved Ys Series is Coming to PS4 and Vita in 2015

Ys is a funny old series. The most recent one to come out in the west was Memories of Celceta on Vita, to which we gave a very positive review, but there have been plenty of entries which missed Europe entirely.
