News Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair Brings Buggy Slideshows to PS4
EDF! EDF! EDF!
Earth Defense Force's eternal appeal will always be its less-than-stellar presentation. We're not sure whether we find XSEED Games' promise of better performance in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 instalment Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair appealing or not, then – but having read similar pledges for previous...
News Senran Kagura: Estival Versus Will Raise Eyebrows in the West on PS4, Vita

News Skylanders: SuperChargers Takes a Sharp Turn onto PS4, PS3 This September
Planes, trains, and automobiles
Fallout 4 may be today's big game announcement, but that hasn't stopped Activision from debuting its own considerably more family orientated title as well. Skylanders: SuperChargers is the newest game in the long-running toys-to-life franchise, and it will feature all manner of motoring mayhem. Indeed, the title will...
News Fallout 4 Is Official, the Wasteland Is Coming to PS4
Bethesda's latest leaks early
Fallout 4 has been officially acknowledged after years upon years of speculation from the gaming community, but perhaps not in the way that we were expecting.

News Of Course There's Going to Be a Samurai Warriors 4: Empires on PS4, PS3, and Vita
What did you expect?
Well, looks like Koei Tecmo is taking Samurai Warriors 4 to all of the usual stops. Much like just about every other mainline Warriors title, the sengoku period slasher will be getting its own Empires spin-off. It'll be marching into Japanese stores on the 3rd September, which likely means a spring 2016 Western release, if it...
News It's Fine to Be Fashionably Late to Corpse Party: Blood Drive
Washin' your hair
We don't know about you, but as this author got older, the concept of 'fashionably late' got taken to extremes. Events would be scheduled for, say, 19:00PM – but you were a jerk if you showed up any earlier than 22:00PM. Growing up is pretty dumb, huh? Having said that, such tactics may come in handy when it comes to Corpse Party...
News Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition Brings Disastrous Puns to PS4
Join the dark side
You might have noticed that the denizens of Push Square Towers enjoy a good – or, indeed, terrible – pun from time to time.

News Apparently, The Witcher 3 Is Getting Two More Pieces of Free DLC on PS4 This Week
Witcher talkin' 'bout, Geralt?

News The New Need for Speed Is Called Need for Speed
Ghost Games' reboot takes to the streets
Need for Speed is getting a complete reboot to the point where it will be ditching recycled subtitles.

Oh, and it's not to be...
News Watch Out, the Protagonist of This PS Vita Game Is Coming for You
Don't believe his lies
People are idiots on the Internet, this much we know – but in Marvelous' just-announced PlayStation Vita adventure game Net High, you'll play as a character called Oreshi, who's attempting to expose the lies of those who fake their lives online.

News Badland: Game of the Year Edition Brings Yet More Quirky Platforming to PS4, PS3, and Vita
How many's that now?
We've completely lost count of how many side scrolling platformers are available on PlayStation platforms. With the advent of the PS4 and its keen indie initiative, it feels like we get about ten platforming-puzzler hybrids pushed onto the PlayStation Store every week. Lo and behold, here we have, of course, the announcement of...

News Gundam Is Gracing the PS4 with a Free-To-Play Title
Psheew, psheew
Gundam's blasting onto PlayStation 4, but it's perhaps not the type of title many fans would have wanted. The mech-'em-up has been dubbed free-to-play, and it'll be available on PS4 and PS3 - at least in Japan. Indeed, the chances of Gundam: Battle Operation Next coming West are slim - as always - but the silver lining here is that...
News Overkill's The Walking Dead Shooter Lumbers onto PS4 in 2016
Possessed Payday
Despite its grisly premise, zombie franchise The Walking Dead has been the flavour of the month for many, many months now. That's a figure of speech, of course; we're hoping that no one has taken any actual culinary tips from the show's shuffling stars. At any rate, the undead hit has seen all manner of video game adaptations –...

News Submerged Plunders the Depths of the PlayStation 4
How low can you go?
Not every game has to be about action, orcs, and nuclear warheads: Submerged introduces a much simpler premise, in which siblings Miku and Taku embark upon an adventure in a mysterious flooded city. With the latter of the duo injured, it's down to you to plunder this strange aquatic settlement for supplies – using little more...

Through the ages

Launching on PS4, PS3 this year
Well, this is all unexpected, isn't it?
