Feature What A Great Week For PlayStation -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I've got absolutely nothing to moan about
This has been an excellent week for the PlayStation brand; so good, in fact, that even reports of a jailbreak weren't able to subdue the mood. I predicted before GamesCom that it would be a low-key show - but Sony's found their stomping ground. Last year Sony dominated the European event with the headline...
Sony's had a fantastic GamesCom for the second year running, packing the show with banner announcements once more
Thankfully, the GamesCom awards have paid testament to the quality of Sony's showing — awarding the platform holder with the Best Hardware, Best Console Game and Game Of The Show acknowledgements. PlayStation Move beat out Microsoft's...
GamesCom 2010 Heroes On The Move Details Make Us Gaga
What's better than Ratchet & Clank or Sly & Bentley or Jak & Daxter? The answer is all of them put together, which is exactly what Heroes On The Move - the upcoming PlayStation Move title from Sony and Nihilistic - is all about
Announced at E3 as a 2011 PlayStation Move title, Sony's been particularly tight-lipped about the...

Viewtiful Joe was announced as part of the Marvel vs
Capcom 3</a> roster during GamesCom this week. As part of the announcement, Capcom's released this trailer showing gameplay footage of the pint-sized fighter. Looks like he can handle himself against the big-boys doesn't it? This game keeps looking prettier and prettier. Problem is, we just...

GamesCom 2010 LittleBigPlanet 2's Music Sequencer Is Incredible
Before we did this PushSquare lark, we used to lock ourselves in dark rooms with Cubase and Reason trying to create the perfect pop-song
After numerous failed attempts, we decided we weren't cut out for a pop career, so we started writing about video games instead. LittleBigPlanet 2 may just end up merging our two hobbies, however. During GamesCom,...
GamesCom 2010 Debut Costume Quest Trailer Brings The Whimsy
This debut trailer for Double Fine's downloadable Costume Quest might do little to detail the actual gameplay, but it's certainly packed with plenty of trademark whimsy
Consider our attention piqued. Hopefully there's a suitably fitting Danny Elfman soundtrack to hand.
GamesCom 2010 The Fight: Lights Trailer Features Danny Trejo
Known for his Hollywood tough-guy roles, there's no better trainer fit for the brutal The Fight: Lights Out than Danny Trejo
Whether Sony's signed him up purely for this trailer or the full game, we're unsure. We hope Machete himself makes an appearance in the full game though. We were impressed when we played the game a little earlier in the year,...
GamesCom 2010 Gran Turismo 5 Injects Some Car-PG, Gets B-Spec Campaign
We all know about Gran Turismo's A-Spec career path
It's the driving simulator portion of the game, the section where you pick a car and race it. But what of Gran Turismo 5's new B-Spec mode? It's basically a "racing simulation RPG". In B-Spec you are not the driver, but are the voice in the driver's ear. You watch races from the...
GamesCom 2010 Take A Look At That inFamous 2 Gameplay Footage With The New-Old Cole
Cole's back
We already established that with the GamesCom trailer. And apparently his new model is already back and running in the game. This footage out of GamesCom is the same section of inFamous 2 we've seen before (note: it looks incredible), but it now features the old Cole character model. It's well worth watching again. Are you g
GamesCom 2010 Sorcery Still Looks Utterly Fantastic
Sorcery was one of the surprise announcements at E3 that seemed to completely justify the PlayStation Move's existence
40-or-so game announcements later, there's plenty more to get excited about regarding the PlayStation Move — but Sorcery still looks like one of the stand-out titles in the motion controllers catalogue. We hope there's plenty of...

GamesCom 2010 We're Guessing The Guy In This Bioshock: Infinite Screenshot Is Not A Happy Chappy
No matter how fresh, bright and exciting Bioshock's worlds are supposed to look; they're usually dark, sinisted and horrible
We assume Bioshock: Infinite's sky-city, Columbia, will be no different. See this guy holding a gun? Yeah, he's probably not a happy man.

GamesCom 2010 New DC Universe Online Trailer Is All About Escapism
Video games are, for us, all about being something you're not
This DC Universe Online trailer really hammers home that point. In the MMORPG you'll create a character and fight alongside (or against) the superheroes of the DC Universe in a massive online world. Conceptually it sounds fantastic. It hits PC and PlayStation 3 in November.

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...

GamesCom 2010 How About We Watch Killzone 3 Being Played With The PlayStation Move?
One of the most exciting things about the PlayStation Move is the ease with which it can be implemented into games
It's for this reason that we've seen the Move games list grow exponentially. There's very little risk in offering players an alternative motion control scheme. And it provides choice — some people like motion controls, other people...

GamesCom 2010 Virtua Tennis 4 Gets PlayStation Move, 3D Support
If there's one genre we love, it's the tennis game genre
Seriously, we just can't get enough of games involving racquets and balls. We know it sounds absurd (you probably like your shooting and killing), but ever since we first tried Virtua Tennis in an arcade we've been in love with the genre. So it's with massive announcement we can confirm that...
GamesCom 2010 Don't Just Make Games, Make Sweet Sweet Music In LittleBigPlanet 2
