News Sine Mora EX Braves Bullet Hell on PS4 This Summer
Extreme
Who remembers Sine Mora, then? It was billed as a big deal once upon a time, releasing on the PlayStation 3 and Vita with input from Suda51 if our memory is correct. Anyway, it kinda came and went but still has a cult following in some circles, and now THQ Nordic has announced that an extended version will release on the PlayStation 4 this...
News Fire Pro Wrestling World Stone Cold Stunners PS4 This Year
King of the ring
Long-time readers will know that this particular author is not the biggest fan of sweaty beefcakes in Speedos, but the Fire Pro Wrestling series is a different proposition altogether.

News Dollhouse Brings Dark Noir Horror to the PS4
Corpse bride
There are an abundance of horror games on the PlayStation 4 at the moment, many of which clumsily follow the blueprint left behind by Silent Hills' infamous playable teaser.

Peekaboo
Dead by Daylight is breathing heavily in the direction of the PlayStation 4, publisher Starbreeze has revealed. Sneaking onto Sony's system at some point later this year as a digital release, the title has already found a lot of success on PC, as evidenced by the number of big-name YouTubers screaming about it over on their channels.

News Perception Pits Your Senses Against a Dark Presence on PS4
Echo bluff
What if you were blind and your only means of "seeing" was via echolocation? You probably wouldn't head to a haunted house, where any noise stands the chance of attracting a dark presence, right? That's the mistake poor Cassie makes in Perception, an intriguing survival horror coming to PlayStation 4 from ex-BioShock and Dead Space...
News Has-Been Heroes Rediscover Their Mojo on the PS4
A-team
You may have seen Has-Been Heroes listed as part of the Nintendo Switch launch lineup, but the game is also coming to the PlayStation 4. It's the latest title by Trine developer Frozenbyte, but represents a bit of a departure for the firm, as it's a kind of roguelike strategy title in which you'll have to escort two princesses to the Princess...
News Puyo Puyo Tetris Clears Lines with Western PS4 Release
Build 'em up
The best news to come out of Nintendo's Switch reveal event? Puyo Puyo Tetris is getting a Western release on the PlayStation 4.

News Dynasty Warriors 9 Chops Down an Entire Open World
Button basher adopts sandbox
It was written in the stars that Dynasty Warriors 9 would be announced during one of series veteran Robert Ramsey's student-esque sleeps. Thus, it's left upon this author's shoulders to hastily inform you that the ninth instalment in Koei Tecmo's swashbuckler has been revealed – and it's going open world. No platforms...
News Don't Let PETA See This PS4 Pinball Game
Squirrel flipkin
PETA is renowned for taking a dim view of the video game industry, so we doubt that this title about firing a poor squirrel across pinball tables is going to go down especially well. To be fair, this isn't a matter of mere animal cruelty: Momonga Pinball Adventures sees you assume the role of "flying squirrel Momo, and pals Panda...

PSX 2016 The Last of Us: Part II Is Real on PS4
Survive on
You'd be reasonable assuming Sony couldn't possibly have anything else up its sleeve to end PSX 2016 with a showstopper. What could possibly top Uncharted: The Lost Legacy or, um, Knack 2? Well, it looks like the developer of the former wasn't content by revealing another chapter in its flagship franchise. Naughty Dog has also turned the...

PSX 2016 Knack 2 Announced on PS4 to Everyone's Complete Surprise
Knack on wood
Knack was a fine 3D platformer. It stumbled with its story, struggled with repetition, and lacked challenge with its level design, but we think it had a lot of potential to improve. So, it was hard to believe that Mark Cerny's, err, most important legacy would ever receive a sequel, but against all odds, Knack 2 will be building its...
News Wii U Exclusive LEGO City Undercover Earns Its Badge on PS4
Cuffed to bits
First it was ZombiU, and now it's LEGO City Undercover: the Wii U fanboys would probably be fuming if Nintendo hadn't already ceased production of the catastrophic console.

News Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Brings More Goofy Naming Conventions to PS4
Sigh
There's a circle in Hell where Satan punishes sinners by forcing them to write Kingdom Hearts articles for eternity – Dante Alighieri just forgot to mention it in his Inferno. Clearly we got up to some bad stuff in a previous life, because there's Kingdom Hearts news coming out of Mickey Mouse's exaggerated ears right now. Sigh. So, it's...

News Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection Charms PS4 from 15th November
Italy awaits
Ubisoft just couldn't do it. The publisher had said that it wanted to give Assassin's Creed a break, and we'd let the French firm off the hook when it deployed those episodic side-scrolling games. But here we are: the holidays are approaching, and it's managed to pump out Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection just in time. The...

News Big City Stories Lays Foundations on PS4 from Next Week
