Review Killzone: Shadow Fall - Intercept (PlayStation 4)
In the zone
A dedicated co-op component has long been missing in action over the course of the Killzone series' multiple instalments. If you've ever wanted to blow up Helghast with a buddy outside of the franchise's sometimes disappointing campaigns, then you've always had little choice but to team up together for some competitive play – but now,...
Review Resogun: Heroes (PlayStation 4)
Holding out for a hero
It’s a statement that’s rapidly approaching cliché territory, but Housemarque’s cylindrical shooter Resogun is still the PlayStation 4’s best game. That’s not a slight against the software library that Sony’s next-gen system has amassed over the past six months or so – although we’re sure that many would like...
News Muramasa Rebirth Will Be Refreshed with Fresh DLC This Month
Another reason to return
It’s currently free for PlayStation Plus subscribers in North America, so it’s no surprise to see the announcement of new Muramasa Rebirth DLC overseas.

Got the squids
Octodad: Dadliest Catch developer Young Horses understands that you can never have too much fun parading around vibrant environments as a cephalopod in disguise – and so it’s confirmed that freshly caught DLC is in the works for the zany PlayStation 4 indie. Seemingly ditching the insipid stealth-inspired second half of the core...

News Grand Theft Auto V's Long Awaited Online Bank Heists Won't Break Free Just Yet
Held in custody
For many, Grand Theft Auto V's online world has been the source of a lot of mayhem-fuelled fun since the game launched last year, but for others, it's been something of a disappointment despite Rockstar's consistent post-release support. Unfortunately, those who were looking forward to robbing banks with a group of friends back in...
News Prove You're Not a Hipster in Grand Theft Auto Online
Pontificating posers
Grand Theft Auto V’s scathing social commentary has hit a new high, with the – and we quote – “post ironic, artisanal, organic, entirely independent, 100 per cent re-claimed ‘I’m Not a Hipster’ update” for multiplayer mode Grand Theft Auto Online. Sporting a wide variety of retro print tees, skinny jeans,...
E3 2014 Sony Embraces PS4 Live Streaming with The Playroom's Set Maker DLC
Use responsibly

E3 2014 Popular PS4 Shooter Resogun Scores Survival DLC Mode
More to be revealed soon
PlayStation 4 launch title Resogun was one of our favourite games from 2013, so it’s little surprise that we’re prancing about like little green humans at the prospect of post-release content.

Set during the series’ first season, this ambitious arena...
News Here's PS4 Sequel Assassin's Creed: Unity's First DLC Pack
Who cares about the main game?
Assassin’s Creed: Unity has been privy to the vaguest of unveilings thus far, but already publisher Ubisoft is plotting the PlayStation 4 title’s first expansion pack. In fairness to the French firm, it probably didn’t intend for this information to leak. Moreover, this appears to be a simple pre-order bonus...

News The PS4 Won't Be Looting Any Exclusive Content from The Witcher 3
And neither will anyone else
Platform exclusive downloadable bits and pieces are an expected, but not entirely well received aspect of purchasing video games in modern times.

News Blast Off! PS4 Shooter Killzone: Shadow Fall Takes Flight with Jet Packs
Hig on high
Killzone: Shadow Fall may have a narrative about as engaging as an amateur sci-fi epic conceived on the back of a Starbucks napkin, but its multiplayer remains a real underrated asset. And, as promised yesterday, developer Guerrilla Games is gearing up for a big announcement regarding the online component later this week. We already know...
News Killzone: Shadow Fall Is the Multiplayer Shooter That Just Keeps on Giving
More free maps on the way
While Killzone: Shadow Fall's online component may not have the largest following in the world, developer Guerrilla Games has remained admirably faithful to the PlayStation 4 exclusive's multiplayer mode. Indeed, the Amsterdam-based studio has released a slew of free maps, as well as a constant stream of updates to the...

Review Star Wars Pinball: Heroes Within (PlayStation 4)
Sith grade
When Zen Studios started churning out Star Wars pinball tables a couple of years ago, it promised a total of ten would be available by the time that it had finished.

News You Can Download Free DLC for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Right Now
Raiden solo
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a short game. Or at least, that's what some people would have you believe. Others would argue that the tactical title provides hours upon hours of replay value, and a robust set of challenges to complete. Whatever your stance, we're pretty sure that no one will be complaining about the title's...
News LittleBigPlanet Lands a Decidedly Odd Sackboy Outfit
Just add water
While his legacy may not be as strong as Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, the smelly protagonist from PSone classic Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee will still strike a chord with old-school gamers.

K.O.
With the surprise announcement that BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma would be available on the European PlayStation Store this week, it was met with mixed emotions due to the lack of a retail release.

Weirdness Mugen Souls Z's DLC Lets You Beat Enemies with a Body Pillow
Killing you softly
While Saints Row IV will always be the winner of the craziest weapon award with such wonders as the Dubstep Gun and the Inflato Ray, NIS America's role-playing game Mugen Souls Z is taking a good shot at the title. The folks moderating the release's Wikia page teased a weapon that will be included in one of its first DLC packs: a...
Rumour PS4 Exclusive Resogun May Be Getting Local Co-Op DLC
Standby for arguments
Resogun is a remarkably intense solo experience. Dodging and weaving your way through millions of voxels is a complete thrill by any standard. But as we noted in our review, the game quite notably lacks a local co-op mode. And while the online multiplayer may be fun, it's not quite the same as having a friend sitting mere...
News You'll Never Earn The Last of Us' Latest Single Player Trophy

News Batman: Arkham Origins' PS3 Expansion Is as Cold as Ice
Revenge is a dish best served cold
What’s cooler than being cool? That’s a question that you should probably pose to DC Comics antagonist Mr. Freeze, but it may be best to wait until he’s in a good mood.

News This LittleBigPlanet Themed DLC for Tearaway Probably Isn't an April Fools Prank
A safe bet
While it may be one of the funniest times of the year, April Fools' Day can also be a bit of a nightmare on our end, as a lack of scrutiny can lead to a reporter accidentally posting a prank as real news. What's more, developers and publishers are incredibly reluctant to make any proper announcements, lest they not be taken seriously...

Video The Last of Us: Left Behind from a Family Perspective
One for the parents
The Last of Us is certainly not a game intended for children, but its themes are very family orientated.
