News Sony Attempts to Lure The Female Market with a Light Pink PS Vita

You and what army
We've heard fans voice their complaints on the forums that there aren't enough real time strategy games on the PlayStation 4, and it seems Koei Tecmo was thinking the same thing with the announcement of Bladestorm: The Hundred Year War and Nightmare.

We know what you're thinking
Stop those dirty thoughts right this instant. Yes, Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is coming to the PlayStation 4, and no, we don't know if it'll feature, er, improved physics.

News Puyo Puyo Tetris to Clear Screens on PS4 in Japan
A blob's life
The decline of the puzzle game has been sad to see.

Next-gen encore
We thought that PlayStation Vita music management simulation BigFest was taking an extraordinarily long time to develop – but now we know why.

News Sleeping Dogs Is Kung-Fu Kicking PS4 with All of Its DLC
No Wei
Even though it received a whopping 8/10 here at Push Square, Sleeping Dogs arrived on the PlayStation 3 as a Grand Theft Auto underdog. Following its free offering on PlayStation Plus, however, it quickly became a cult hit that many a gamer – including our staff – punched themselves for not discovering earlier. If you're one of those that...
News You'll Need to Find Your Sea Legs for the Darkest Assassin's Creed to Date
Ubisoft announces this year's PS3 outing
It’s a good thing that the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed: Rogue doesn’t have a ship as leaky as Ubisoft, otherwise he’d be living it up in ol’ Davy Jones’ Locker right now. After months of speculation – and a morning of YouTube copyright claims – the French publisher has finally confirmed...

News Stripping Sim Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Exposes Itself on PS4 This Fall
Hot in here
The heat remains utterly inescapable here in the UK, which means that plenty of skin and bad tattoos are on display.

News Milestone Scrubs Up MXGP for PS4 Release This Fall

News OneChanbara Z2: Chaos Brings Out Its Best Bikinis on PS4
Undead and undressed
When dealing with violent zombie hordes, we’d probably want to keep our flesh covered up.

It’s a...

E3 2014 Suda 51's New PS4 Exclusive Let It Die Is Brutal and Bizarre
Speaking words of wisdom
Distinctive auteur Suda 51 is about as divisive as they come. Indeed, the luminary's games either cause intense adoration, or confused and bewildered disgust.

Are you chicken?
The bizarrely disjointed nature of Sony’s corporate structure is always a source of bemusement, but this PlayStation 4 exclusive produced by Loot Entertainment is a real head scratcher.
