News Hey, If You Fancy More DeathSpank Then There's Some Free DLC On Offer
There's a DeathSpank sequel out this week
Yes, we appreciate it's only been a couple of months since the first game released. And no, we absolutely don't want to play the game. We'd had enough of DeathSpank before the end of the first one. Still, we appreciate that we're not the only people in this fine world, and that others might be excited by the...
Rumours BioWare Montreal Recruiting For A "Military-Genre FPS"
Because the world needs one more military first-person shooter, right? According to a series of job-listings placed online, BioWare's Montreal studio is recruiting for a "military-genre FPS"
They are after artists, level designers and more. It certainly seems like they're gearing up for something. No comment from EA this morning. We assume...
News Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam Expansion Launches This Winter
EA's finally detailed the anticipated Vietnam expansion for DICE's popular Battlefield: Bad Company 2 shooter
The package, which is due out this Winter, includes four new maps, six new vehicles, a 60's soundtrack and 15 time-specific weapons. It'll basically add a whole new layer to Bad Company 2's multiplayer, then. No details on the price yet, but...
News TGS 10: Remember When Alice Gets Stuck Inside The White Rabbit's House?
This is American McGee's interpretation of that moment for the upcoming Alice: Madness Returns on PlayStation 3
Could we be any more excited? The answer is no.</em>
News TGS 10: You'll Not Need PlayStation Move To Play PS3-Exclusive Port Of Dead Space: Extraction
If you buy Dead Space 2 on the PlayStation 3 you'll get a free game included out of the box
The Wii's Dead Space: Extraction is being ported to the PlayStation 3 with PlayStation Move controls. Obviously, the game will feel best when played with the PlayStation Move controller, as it's a rails-shooter designed with pointer controls in mind. EA...
News TGS 10: We Want Alice: Madness Returns So, So, So Much
If you've been reading PushSquare for a while, you'll know we love Alice In Wonderland
We're particularly fond of American McGee's interpretation of Alice, and as such Alice: Madness Returns might just be our most anticipated PlayStation 3 game at the moment. There's little in the way of new information coming out of TGS, but EA has released another...
News TGS 10: Shinji Mikami/Suda 51 Collaboration Revealed, Not As Exciting As We'd Hoped
It's hard to judge a game based on a 90-second trailer
It's probably something we shouldn't do in the first place. But it's hard to not be disappointed by the long-awaited announcement of Shinji Mikami and Suda51's "horror" project; officially announced this morning as Shadows Of The Damned. Perhaps it's a matter of expectation. Shinji...
News For All The Hate Being Lobbied At Medal Of Honor, EA Sure Know How To Make It Look Amazing
People didn't really like Medal Of Honor's beta
It was, after-all, a real beta though. Y'know, a beta where feedback was gathered and changes were made. That isn't the case for most betas these days. Still, whatever public reaction might be to the game; EA sure knows how to make it look awesome. Take the trailer above. It looks properly incredible...
News By The Way: Dead Space 2 Has Multiplayer, Here's Your First Look
No, you're right
Dead Space 2 does not need multiplayer. The original was such an atmospheric game because of the sense of isolation. So we're not sure why Visceral's decided to chuck in multiplayer. But whatever - let's just assume that the single-player's going to be the same thrill-ride we've come to expect from Dead Space, and assume the...
News Mmmm... Two Minutes Of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
We bet you £50 that Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit turns out amazing
Ignore all the marketing fluff that's surrounding this game, and just focus on what it is. It's the next game from the studio which created the stunning Burnout: Paradise, with one of the biggest racing game franchises attached to it. We suggest you don't take us up on that bet...
News Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition Officially Confirmed, Out Now(ish)
EA's just released a trailer for the so-called Ultimate Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The game's shipping to stores across the US as we type, and will hit England on Friday, September 3rd. The pack includes a few extra bits and bobs. Aswell as a copy of Bad Company 2, you'll also receive: the four-player co-op mode Onslaught, Battlefield...
News Blimey, Did You Know Criterion Were Making A Skate Or Die Game?
At one point, many moons ago, British developers Criterion Games were working on a Skate Or Die sequel for EA
Crazy, right? According to an article in GamesTM magazine, Criterion were working on the sequel before they started work on Burnout 2. Apparently EA were impressed with the studio's work on the Dreamcast title Trickstyle, and challenged them...
News Good Grief, It's Another One Of Those Horrendous Need For Speed Videos
Sigh
Remember this video? Well EA and Criterion's just put out another one. And it's equally horrific. This time they're in Chicago playing Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, man. Chicago! Wahhhhhhhh, these people just love playing video games! Dudebro! Dudebro!
News This Is What It's Like Being A Goalkeeper In FIFA 11
One of the big new additions to FIFA 11 this year is the ability to play as a goalkeeper
We had some reservations about the new mode but it actually sounds like quite good fun. Movement is handled with the left-stick, while diving is performed with the right. There are a number of on-screen visual aids in order to get you into position and make sure...
News Shank Slashes Up The PlayStation Network This Week
Klei's cartoony take on Devil May Cry, Shank, is set to hit the PlayStation Network this week
Those of you lucky enough to be in the United States of America will be able to pick-up the quirky action title when the store updates later today. Europeans will have to wait until tomorrow. But don't worry, it's only 24 hours away. Whichever store update...
News Beta Feedback Dramatically Changes Medal Of Honor's Multiplayer
Most "betas" these days are multiplayer demos
Sure, they might be put in place to stress-test the servers or balance a couple of weapons but largely, they are a demo. Medal Of Honor's beta was not. EA's shared a gigantic list of changes that have been incorporated into Medal Of Honor's multiplayer component since the beta. Tweaks include improved...
News That Deathspank Game, Yeah, There's A Sequel Coming Out Next Month
We were done with Deathspank before we even finished the first game
We persevered for the sake of our review, and there was certainly plenty to like about the package, but the formula wore thin a little too quickly for our tastes. It's bemusing, therefore, that Hothead Games has already announced the franchise's sequel — and it's due out next...
News EA, Suda51 Finally Prepping Horror Announcement For Tokyo Next Month
Aside from the PlayStation Network's Siren: Blood Curse, horror games have been a little tame this generation
Even the biggest new horror franchise, Dead Space, is markedly soft compared to some of the PS2's top horror titles. We're hoping that the EA published Suda51 and Shinji Mikami collaboration fixes that. News of a big Tokyo showing from EA...
News Britain's Defence Secretary Probably Won't Be Playing Medal Of Honor When It Releases
Shocking
Disgusting. Angry. Tasteless. These are all the words of Britain's defence secretary, Liam Fox, when describing EA's Medal Of Honor reboot. Apparently he's not too happy that players can opt to fight as the Taliban in the game's multiplayer component — it's very "un-British" apparently. Its shocking that someone would think...
News EA Readying "Several Announcements" For Its Tokyo Showcase
Announcements of announcements are never fun, and with GamesCom just out of the way, we didn't want to come across greedy by talking about new video games we've no idea about
But this was too good to skip over. EA's promising "several announcements" for its TGS Tokyo Showcase; and Tokyo means Japan — the home-land of Shinji Mikami and...
GamesCom 2010 Portal 2 Drops In February 2011
The ever-informed Geoff Keighley has confirmed that Portal 2 will release on February 9th next year on the PlayStation 3
The journo teased that more will be revealed on this week's GameTrailers TV.
After the initial excitement of Mass Effect 2 for the PlayStation 3 died down yesterday, many people were curious how they would bridge the story elements of the first game for those who didn't play it
The original game was funded and published by Microsoft, so there was no way they'd let up exclusivity rights for the title. It's also a vastly...
News FIFA 11's All About Eleven, Play As The Goalkeeper In 11v11 Online Team Play
EA Sports has finally dished the dirt on the upcoming FIFA 11 at their GamesCom press conference

We've included the trailer after the jump.
GamesCom 2010 Rock Band 3 Gets A Mixture Of New Tracks
Rock Band 3's a music game
MTV's announced some new songs for the game ahead of GamesCom today. Names like Roxette get us excited, while Slipknot, Rammstein and HIM make us angry. It's a really mish-mash of tunes, and it's not even the good Roxette song. Consider us completely unexcited. You know what would be a good tune for Rock Band's keyboards?...
Rumour Mass Effect PS3 Announcement Incoming
There's a great stonking rumour over on NeoGAF tonight
According to user "De-Mon", Sony and EA are on the verge of announcing some kind of Mass Effect port entitled Mass Effect: Genesis. "De-Mon" anticipates that the title will be announced during either of the companies' GamesCom conferences tomorrow, but suggests a magazine...
News Debut Medal Of Honor Campaign Footage Is Surprisingly Rather Good
Hands up if you thought the Medal Of Honor reboot was going to be a weak Call Of Duty rip-off? A few of you, fair enough
You're all right of course, except for the weak part. This debut single-player campaign footage is surprisingly good. Sure, it's all a bit "dudebro", but whatever. The shooting looks good, and the visuals are pretty...
News Crytek Confirms Crysis 2 For March, 2011
After details regarding Crysis 2's delay emerged last week, Crytek's been tellingly hush about giving the first-person shooter an alternative launch window
Until now, at least. The studio's just confirmed on Twitter that Crysis 2 will launch in March 2011. More specifically, the game will hit the US on March 22nd and the UK on March 25th.
GamesCom 2010 EA Announces Massive Germany Line-Up, Will Stream Press Conference Live

News It'd Be Nice If Police Cars Actually Did Look Like This, Wouldn't It?
Admittedly we know about as much about cars as we do American Football
That is to say, not a lot. Still, while we're destined to get pulled up in the comments about our non-description of the above pictured car (we think it's a Dodge Viper?), we just want to say that we like the way it looks. In fact, we're pretty certain Need For Speed: Hot...
News Latest FIFA 11 Trailer Does A Brilliant Job Of Saying Absolutely Nothing
We're a few weeks away from gamescom now, when one can assume that FIFA 11 will be completely blown wide open
We know the game's a few months off, and we know that Kaka's the global cover-star. This trailer seems like a grab at mind-share more than anything. It's almost like, "HEY, YOU LIKE FIFA DON'T YOU!?! WELL, DON'T FOGET THERE'S ANOTHER...
News Kaka Graces The Worldwide Cover Of FIFA 11, Loves EA Sports (Apparently)
EA's confirmed that Real Madrid "superstar", Kaka, will grace the cover of FIFA 11 worldwide
Apparently, the midfielder is thrilled about this news. Ive always been a fan of EA SPORTS and especially the FIFA series, he "said" in a totally-not-canned press release. Being on the FIFA 11 cover is a great honor for me since very few...
News Need For Speed: Shift 2 Announced, Due Early 2011
Let's be honest, when the early months of 2011 roll around, we'll probably all still be playing Gran Turismo 5 won't we? That's why we feel kind of sorry for Need For Speed: Shift 2, the follow-up to last year's NFS simulation attempt
The last version was good, but it had too many bugs and quirks to put it anywhere near Gran Turismo 4, let alone 5...
News Sadly, Fight Night: Champion Will Not Support The PlayStation Move
While The Fight: Lights Out is far from perfect, our hands-on time with the game made us realise that there's something in this "motion controlled beat 'em up" thing
It's genuinely satisfying when you throw a punch and watch it connect on screen. A perfect game for motion control punching would be the recently announced Fight Night: Champion. Sadly,...
News NBA Jam Officially Heading To The PlayStation 3 (Sort Of, Anyway!)
NBA Jam is officially heading to the PlayStation 3
EA's just confirmed it. But it's not what you think... While NBA Jam will be heading to the PlayStation 3, it won't be the full version and you'll have to buy NBA Elite 11 to get it. EA's Jordan Edelstein explained: Were still holding back the Remix Tour for the Wii consumer, and thats about...
News Madden NFL 11 PlayStation Portable Bundle Announced For The US
SCEA's confirmed that they've teamed up with EA Sports to release a new Madden NFL 11 hardware bundle next week
The pack, which is likely to stay a US exclusive for obvious reasons, includes a black PSP-3000 and a copy of the game. It'll cost just $159.99, which is pretty decent if you're in the market for a PSP. There are more details over at the...
News EA Bright Lights Announce "Create" For PlayStation 3, Confirm PlayStation Move Support
It had to happen at some point
In fact, we're amazed it didn't happen sooner. LittleBigPlanet was such a run-away success in 2008, another developer was always going to take the idea; seems like Guildford's EA Bright Light are the first though. Interesting that it should be the team up the road from Media Molecule though, eh? Create actually sounds...
News Linkin Park Up The Ante, Team Up With Medal Of Honor
This trailer made us a little sick in our mouth
As if Medal Of Honor didn't already look like a big "USA! USA!" patriot jerk-off fest, EA's enlisted on the help of America's favourite pop-rock band, Linkin Park, to make it more-so. This new Medal Of Honor trailer is mostly live-action, directed by the "creative" eye of Park's DJ...

News Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit Video May Make You Angry, Less Excited For The Game
"Wahhhhhhhhhh
Check it out y'all, we're playing video gameeeeeees on our Play-a-Station Triple. Wahhhh! This Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit game is so hardcore. I'm gonna jump around bopping the air, whilst doing an upside down 'Peace' sign. So cool. I love video games, y'all. Love 'em. Spin some Shifty Shellshock, DJ." Urgh.
News Because Medal Of Honor Needed More Linkin Park...
Just like Eminem and Call Of Duty; Linkin Park's teamed up with Medal Of Honor to provide some hard-hitting tunes that will really make you think about the consequences of war
Either that, or make you fist-pump as you fire off rounds of your AK-47. The embedded video - which features Linkin Park's "Catalyst" - is a teaser for a new trailer...
News Crytek "Considered" Making A PlayStation 3 Exclusive
The boss of Crytek, Cevat Yerli, has revealed in an interview that his company has "considered" making a PlayStation 3 exclusive in the past
But don't think because Cevat is speaking in the past-tense, that the idea is totally ruled out. The boss reckons a little something could well be on the cards — but first their first priority is Crysis 2 and...
News Medal Of Honor Reboot Team Named "Danger Close"
In somewhat of an unexpected announcement, EA Los Angeles has revealed the creation of a new studio: "Danger Close"
The team are currently responsible for the upcoming Medal Of Honor reboot, and will presumably stick to games with a military theme. Well - you'd think so with a name like that, anyway. As far as we can tell, this seems like a case...
News Comic-Con 2010: New Trailer Reveals Co-Operative Shank Action
You know what's better than Klei's PSN download Shank? Klei's PSN download Shank with two people
That's exactly what the game's Comic-Con trailer focuses on — showing countless dudes being iced by multiple players. Remember the front cover of Rival Turf on the SNES? "SIMULTANEOUS TWO PLAYER ACTION". Yeah, Shank should have that on the...
