News eFootball PES 2020 Is the Only Way England Can Win the Euros This Year
Three lions on the shirt
EURO 2020 is more than likely going to be pushed back to next year because of the Coronavirus, leaving us with a summer completely devoid of football.

News Silent Hill Artist Tweets About Upcoming Project, Hopes It 'Won't Be Cancelled'
Not so silent
You never know what's happening behind closed doors, and that of course extends to video games.

Hideo Kojima won his heart over
It's protocol here at Push Square Towers to pour one out whenever Silent Hills is mentioned. Come on, let's raise a toast.

News Silent Hill Makes Its Long Awaited Comeback, And the Results Will Certainly Scare You
Konami strikes again
Forgive us, but we've still not quite managed to get over the cancellation of Silent Hills.

But wonder no longer folks, Silent Hill is back! Well,...
Review Contra: Rogue Corps - Bargain Bin Isometric Shooter That's Easy to Forget
Corps, blimey
Contra – or the infinitely more extravagant Probotector, as it was originally known in some European territories – is a revered name in video game fame; Contra: Rogue Corps, the franchise’s first non-pachislot outing in almost a decade, does not live up to the property’s illustrious legacy. This artistically inconsistent...
Review eFootball PES 2020 - Same Shirt, Different Name
If it ain't broke, don't match-fix it
Just when you thought PES was getting old and stale, it gets a new name. That’s right, for a franchise that began as International Superstar Soccer, changed to Pro Evolution Soccer, and sporadically adopted and rejected the name of Winning Eleven, Konami has decided 2020 will mark the new era of eFootball PES...
News Contra: Rogue Corps Demo Reports for Duty on PS4
Available now

News Lisa Is Constantly Right Behind You in PT
A hacked camera reveals nightmarish trick
The highly influential PT is one of PlayStation 4's best horror games -- it's a huge shame it was delisted when Konami cancelled Silent Hills.

R.I.P Snake
The official PlayStation Twitter accounts love coming up with little games and questions to pose to its followers, and today was no different.

Sony subbed in Detroit: Become Human at the last minute

News Europa League Giants Manchester United Sign with PES 2020
Man Red are dead
There’s poetry to Manchester United becoming one of eFootball PES 2020’s flagship teams. On the one hand, Konami will be delighted to swap Manchester Red with an officially licensed edition of the Premier League club, but as the Old Trafford team’s fortunes dwindle, perhaps there’s some justice to it being featured heavily...

E3 2019 Contra: Rogue Corps May Not Be the Reboot You Wanted
Not like this
What in hot hell is this? Konami made an announcement during E3 2019’s big Nintendo Direct earlier today: a grim-looking twin-stick shooter named Contra: Rogue Corps. Due out on 26th September for the PlayStation 4, the reimagining will supposedly “instil more than 25 years of franchise pedigree” into a $39.99 package. It looks...

Vampires. I hate these guys
With a series as well-loved as Castlevania, Konami has sensibly approached celebrating the company's 50th anniversary by providing a game selection in the Castlevania Anniversary Collection with a sense of focus and balance. As opposed to Metroidvania games, the focus here is upon the traditional-style, stage-progression...
Review Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection - Old School Konami Kicks
Back to the 80s
Konami gifts us eight games for the price of one with its Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection. The results are good, but a tad disappointing, based on the other titles the publisher has to its name. The additions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Simpsons Arcade, and Contra certainly would’ve livened things up and added more...

Don't look in the basin
Before the inevitable Dreams remake emerges, here’s P.T. recreated in Unreal Engine 4 – because someone was always going to make it, right?

Liquid gold
You’ve just infiltrated a highly secure enemy base using only your cunning and the scant equipment that you happened to find on your way.

Review Castlevania Requiem - A Compelling Collection of Two Classics
A memorable little pile of secrets
Unsung heroes are prominent in literature and film. Without spoilers, consider if Frodo had embarked on his quest without Sam's support in The Lord of the Rings, and think about nerdy Neville Longbottom's overlooked role in protecting the wizarding world of Harry Potter. The true heroes behind this Castlevania...

Jamie is Iga to sing Castlevania’s praises for its Gothic atmosphere

News Castlevania Requiem Is Based on the PSP Version of Symphony of the Night
Bloody hell
Remember that patent from the weekend about how Sony’s using nifty technology to remaster through emulation?

It appears the delicious duo...
Hands On PES 2019: Pro Evolution Soccer Stands Firm(ino)
On Klopp of the world
The PES 2019 demo is finally here, and encouragingly it actually has a player wearing the correct shirt on the cover; Konami must have learned its lesson after last year’s Neymar debacle. Still, seeing as Liverpool are an official partner of the game and all, it would be nice to see Andy Robertson’s lovely mug adorning the...
News PES 2019 Adds Eight More Fully Licensed Leagues to Its Roster
And a demo on 8th August
Konami may have lost out to rivals EA for the rights to UEFA’s Europa League and Champions League competitions this year, but that doesn’t mean it’s closing the trophy cabinet and letting FIFA run off with the goods without a fight. Since news broke that PES 2019 would be the first series entry in a decade not...
Review Super Bomberman R (PS4)
Bombs away
With over 30 entries in the Bomberman series, you’d be excused for thinking the formula would be getting stale and running out of ideas. However, Super Bomberman R proves that there are still a few tricks up those bomb-filled sleeves. Recent years have seen a plethora of spin-offs released, but this year’s entry is a return to the...
