Out This Week Fallout 4, Superbeat Xonic, Spelunker World
Commonwealth games
There's a gaping Lara Croft shaped hole in the PlayStation 4's lineup this week – but don't worry too much, as Fallout 4 is here to keep you occupied. While we're in the thick of the holiday release season, there's actually not a whole lot launching this time – we can only imagine that publishers wanted to get out of the way...
Out This Week Dragon Quest Heroes, Minecraft: Story Mode, Wasteland 2
Slime time
We're slap bang in the nucleus of the holiday rush right now, but this week's software lineup isn't brimming with blockbusters – it seems that all of the slightly more niche releases have settled upon the next few days to deploy. Whether it's the obnoxiously named Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below or the...
Out This Week Uncharted PS4, Rock Band 4, Transformers Devastation
Super Meat Boy! Onigiri! Farming Simulator 16!
It's probably safe to say that the holiday season has arrived. This week promises to be an absolutely enormous seven days for PlayStation, with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection headlining things from a first-party perspective – and the likes of Rock Band 4 and Transformers Devastation providing...
Out This Week Destiny: The Taken King, PES 2016, Flame Over
Get reading those Grimoire cards
This may not be the biggest week for new releases ever, but few franchises are more popular than Destiny. Bungie's big expansion will deploy tomorrow on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, with the title available as both an upgrade for the existing game, as well as part of a big Game of the Year Edition-esque...
Out This Week Metal Gear Solid 5, Mad Max, Grow Home, Super Time Force Ultra
Boxed in
Yes, the holiday rush has arrived. This week's edition of Out This Week is one part exciting and two parts absolutely insane, as no less than 16 new titles descend upon PlayStation Nation, vying for your attention. There's only one highlight this time: Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Having said that, honourable mentions must go out...
Out This Week Volume, Zombi, Resident Evil Revelations 2 Vita
Pump it up
Everybody's gone to the graveyard in this latest edition of Out This Week. Between the long-awaited PlayStation Vita port of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 and the not-so anticipated PlayStation 4 port of Wii U exclusive Zombi, there's a little something for every undead obsessed gamer. Alternatively, you could just get Volume. Pick of the...
Out This Week Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Goat Simulator, Gauntlet: Slayer Edition
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Actual Sunlight, TorqueL, and more
The excitement of Gamescom 2015 may have subsided, but that's okay, because there are about a billion new PlayStation games due out this week. Alright, we're exaggerating a teensy bit, but considering that it's the summer, such an enormous roster of new software is practically unheard...
Out This Week Galak-Z, Submerged, AeternoBlade
Out of this world
It's hardly a vintage week for new releases in the PlayStation Nation, with all eyes pointed purposefully at Gamescom 2015 rather than Sony's storefront. Still, there are a handful of smaller digital downloads vying for your attention in the guise of Galak-Z and Submerged. The question is: what are you buyin'? Pick of the Week:...
Out This Week N++, Sword Art Online PS4, King's Quest
'Kay then
It's hardly a vintage week on Planet PlayStation, but there should be just enough to pique your interest. With the summer now in full swing, it's all about digital games this time, with hard as nails platformer N++ being the latest addition to Sony's big PlayStation Store PLAY promotion. Other highlights include Sword Art Online Re: Hollow...
Out This Week Journey PS4, Hatoful Boyfriend, Onechanbara Z2: Chaos
One last trek
The blockbuster round-a-bout may be taking a break ahead of Christmas, but there are more than enough budget titles to hold your interest this week. Journey is the obvious highlight this time around, but if you've already played thatgamecompany's poetic escapade on your PlayStation 3, then Hatoful Boyfriend may be worth a beady look,...
Out This Week God of War III Remastered, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, Godzilla
Godspeed
It's a surprisingly big week for new releases here on Planet PlayStation, as the industry is rocked from its post-E3 hangover with a series of noteworthy new titles. God of War III Remastered is arguably the big one, as it represents Kratos' first foray onto the PlayStation 4 – but both Godzilla and EA Sports Rory McIlroy PGA Tour are...
Out This Week Rocket League, Geometry Wars 3 Vita, Pneuma: Breath of Life
The beautiful game
After a brief hiatus for E3 2015 and various holidays, we're bringing Out This Week back with a vengeance. With the sun currently scorching the UK – seriously, it's been baking here the past few days – you may be dreading the impending summer drought, but things are actually looking quite fruitful here on Planet PlayStation...
Out This Week The Elder Scrolls Online, LEGO Jurassic World, Payday 2 PS4
Time fillers
T'was the week before E3 and all around the web, nary a video game publisher dared raise its nervous head. A nice introductory ditty that may be, but there are a couple of new games to look forward to this week. The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited's the big one, but LEGO Jurassic World and Payday 2: Crimewave Edition are worth a...
Out This Week Wander, Tetris Ultimate, PlayStation Plus Freebies
Walk this way
Ah, the pre-E3 calm has finally arrived. Of course, those of you that frequent the PlayStation Nation will know that there's never a slow week on Sony's systems – even when it is, er, a slow week. Are you keeping up? We should probably write this introduction over, but time is of the essence and all that. Let's get stuck in, shall...
Out This Week The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Destiny: House of Wolves, Farming Simulator 15
On the scent
If your name's not The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, then you may be asking yourself why you weren't delayed into next week. Seriously, it's hard to see anything breaking through the hype that's currently circling CD Projekt Red's open world escapade like a (white) wolf. To be fair, though, there's something for everyone here, from the...
Out This Week Final Fantasy X|X-2 PS4, The Last of Us: Left Behind, Double Dragon
Yuna you want it
It's a bit of a filler week here on Planet PlayStation, as a storm labelled The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lurks on the horizon. There's no doubt that CD Projekt RED's hotly anticipated role-playing release is the title that's on everyone's lips, and so proceedings are looking a little light this time out. To be fair, though, there's no...
Out This Week Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Ether One, Project CARS
Pick 'n' mix
You can never have too much of a good thing, as Wolfenstein: The Old Blood looks set to prove this week. MachineGames' first-person reboot was surprisingly well received when it released last year, and so it's no surprise that the Swedish studio is giving the shooter another shot. It's not the only major arrival scheduled to land on...
Out This Week Shovel Knight, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China, LA Cops
New digs
And that's officially it: the big, blockbuster retail releases are taking a break for a few weeks – it's a good thing that there's tons of PlayStation Network stuff in the pipeline, huh? This week's a particularly good one for digital downloads, if only because Shovel Knight is part of the roster. We've been looking forward to Yacht Club...
Out This Week Mortal Kombat X, Titan Souls, We Are Doomed
X marks the spot
We Are Doomed. No, not literally – that's just the name of one of the games due out on the PlayStation 4 this week. In truth, it's a bit of a slow week for new software releases compared to what we've gotten used to – but then, who needs anything more than Mortal Kombat X anyway? Exactly. Pick of the Week: Mortal Kombat X:...
Out This Week Bastion PS4, Stealth Inc 2, Tower of Guns
On we go
After the deluge of delicious blockbuster releases that have consumed this column over the past few weeks, we suspect that this little lineup will look like a letdown for some of you. That's perhaps a testament to just how much good stuff there's been on PlayStation lately, as this selection is no slouch – how can you grumble at Bastion,...
Out This Week Bloodborne, Borderlands PS4, Toukiden: Kiwami
Hunting you down
The current fiscal year is now very nearly over, which means that there's one last week of big releases, before spring slowly starts to calm things down again. We hope that you've been saving, because there are a handful of meaty blockbusters on the way, including Bloodborne, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection, and Toukiden:...
Out This Week Helldivers, OlliOlli 2, Oreshika, Zombie Army Trilogy
Too much to take
Busy, busy, busy – but Out This Week is (relatively) on time. After a couple of quiet weeks, the video game industry has opted to pack everything into a single week, with the Game Developers Conference, a special Project Morpheus event, and more new releases than we care to count all dropping at once. Fortunately, we thrive under...
Out This Week Dragon Ball XenoVerse, Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Over 9,000
This edition of Out This Week may be fashionably late again, but boy are we bringing the heat. Well, technically, we're not bringing anything – but, er, what we're trying to say is that a lot of good games are due out over the coming days. These include Dragon Ball XenoVerse, Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and more. It's also worth...
Out This Week The Order: 1886, Dead or Alive 5 PS4, Q*Bert Rebooted
Antique action
Ah, another belated edition of Out This Week – will we ever publish this column on time? While you ponder that, we'll move swiftly on and point out that this week is a real humdinger, especially if you're a PlayStation 4 owner. Highlights include The Order: 1886 and Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, but there's something for everyone...
Out This Week Evolve, Super Stardust Ultra, Chivalry
Monster munch
We don't know about you, but it feels like we're still easing our way into 2015. While there have been a fair few big releases between Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell and Dying Light, there hasn't been a whole lot to shout about. That's all set to change as we limp towards the end of the fiscal year, though, with publishers preparing to...
Out This Week Apotheon, Game of Thrones: Episode 2, PlayStation Plus Freebies
Please be excited
Admit it: you thought that we were going to miss this edition of Out This Week, didn't you? We've been pretty steadfast with our New Year's Resolutions so far, but the absence of Push Rewind on Sunday – in lieu of a timely Dying Light review – means that we've broken our personal promise, which is to be a bit more consistent...
Out This Week Resident Evil, Saints Row, and Citizens of Earth
Once bitten, twice shy
There's usually a standout for Pick of the Week, but we're really struggling to choose a favourite this time. Sure, you could make the argument that Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is little more than a re-release, but it comes with Gat Out of Hell, which is brand new. On the flipside, Resident Evil is nothing but a lowly port, too...
Out This Week Joe Danger 2, Shake Spears, and a New PSP Game
All filler
We're settling back into our normal work rhythm here at Push Square Towers, which means that Out This Week is back for its second, somewhat similar season. We're happy with the format of most of the site's regular columns, but one of our New Year's Resolutions is to be a little more consistent in 2015, so hopefully we won't be clumsily...
Out This Week Switch Galaxy Ultra, Resogun, Fieldrunners 2
Hella good
‘Twas the week before Christmas and all around the web, nary a video game manufacturer did raise its sleepy head. Well, apart from Sony, of course, as it’s still got a bevy of releases lined up for the PlayStation Store this Tuesday. We’re actually not sure whether the European PlayStation Store will be updating on Christmas Eve,...
Out This Week Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, Aqua Kitty DX, Akiba's Trip PS4
Bizarre creations
After last week’s deluge of tasty titles, you could be forgiven for thinking that this week’s roster of PlayStation releases may be a little thin on the ground – but it’s surprisingly stacked for the days prior to Thanksgiving. Granted, there are no major blockbusters vying for your attention here, but we reckon that the...
Out This Week Grand Theft Auto V PS4, LittleBigPlanet 3, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age, WWE 2K15
Oh em gee
Hold onto your hats and wallets everyone, because this is the week that you’ve been waiting for. It’s been a disappointing year in general for gaming, but the penultimate Tuesday before Thanksgiving may yet redeem everything. Vying for your attention from tomorrow in North America are a handful of teensy titles, including Grand Theft...
Out This Week Assassin's Creed Unity, PES 2015, LEGO Batman 3
Arno what I want
There’s no time for restin’, as the PlayStation release calendar is as stacked as ever. Taking top billing this week is Assassin’s Creed Unity, but it’s not exactly got the spotlight to itself – LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, PES 2015: Pro Evolution Soccer, and Tales of Hearts R are all worth a
Out This Week Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and More
War changes
After a short hiatus, Out This Week has returned to help you plan out your gaming time. This week is significant as it sees the arrival of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 – the latest instalment in Activision’s blockbuster first-person brand. We’re also due the pitter-patter of a fresh roster...
Out This Week Samurai Warriors 4, The Legend of Korra, Fluster Cluck
Cluckin' hell
And breathe again. After the downpour of new releases in October, we’re thankful for a week that doesn’t have quite as much stuff. Not that there’s an overwhelming lack of new PlayStation titles for you to plough through, with Samurai Warriors 4, The Legend of Korra, and the brilliantly named Fluster Cluck all vying for your...
Out This Week Borderlands, The Evil Within, Minecraft: PS Vita Edition, Peggle 2
Oh my goodness
Holy schnitzel, if you thought that last week’s edition of Out This Week was stacked with an insurmountable number of new releases, then this instalment is in a whole different league. With the summer being comparatively barren for new PlayStation software, we’re not sure why developers big and small have decided to deploy their...
Out This Week DriveClub, Alien Isolation, Spelunky PS4, Pix the Cat
Thank the gaming gods
Wow! This may well be the biggest week for new PlayStation releases since the PlayStation 4 launched last year. Now that Destiny is out of the way, the holiday season is really kicking off in style – and this edition of Out This Week has a little something for everyone. Whether you want to rock your birthday suit in Akiba’s...
Out This Week FIFA 15, Slender: The Arrival, CastleStorm PS4
Talking Messi
We feel like Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park right now. The silly release schedule still hasn’t quite kicked off yet, but it’s approaching faster than a hungry tyrannosaurus rex – and the rippling mug of tea on our desk evidences as much. This week sees the arrival of arguably the most important game in Europe, with more FIFA 15...
Out This Week Murasaki Baby, Disney Infinity 2.0, Naruto
The girl with the purple balloon
With last week’s big release Destiny now in orbit, the remainder of the industry clearly thinks that it’s safe to release its wares. This week sees the arrival of a slew of smaller PlayStation titles, with Murasaki Baby probably the pick of a varied bunch. Noteworthy mentions include Disney Infinity 2.0: Marvel...
Out This Week Destiny PS4, Destiny PS3, and, Er, Some Hockey
Become legend
It wouldn’t be a Bungie release week without a completely empty release calendar. We can’t help but feel sorry for NHL 15, but we suppose that fans of ice hockey will pick up EA Sports’ latest trip to the ring regardless of the colossal Destiny banners plastered, well, everywhere. If you’re not looking forward to Activision’s...
Out This Week inFAMOUS: First Light, Metro Redux, Madden NFL 15
Going underground
An old industry folktale states that the release of Madden signals the start of the stressful release season for reviewers, and it seems accurate again in this instance. While things have been relatively busy for a few weeks now, we’re mere days away from Destiny at this point, which means that life at Push Square Towers is about...
Out This Week Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, Diablo III, Tales of Xillia 2
Nothing weedy about this week
We may still be nursing our Gamescom 2014 hangover with a packet of paracetamol, but the release calendar is not going to give us time to dawdle on the job. This is a surprisingly stacked week for all three PlayStation platforms, with no less than 11 new titles due out on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and Vita. The...
Out This Week Surgeon Simulator PS4, Hohokum, Akiba's Trip
Busy, busy
New titles typically steer clear of E3 in fear of having the spotlight taken off them, but there’s no such luxury during Gamescom. Despite the fact that the industry is slowly descending upon Germany as we type, there’ll be no rest for our ragtag group of reviewers, as the release calendar is practically stacked with new content this...
Out This Week Road Not Taken, The Swapper, Metrico
Clone wars
The best thing about this week’s roster of new PlayStation releases is that you’ll be playing a couple of them for free. Sony’s been especially good at marrying its Instant Game Collection updates to new arrivals of late, meaning that even if you hadn’t intended to follow the Road Not Taken or splash your cash on Metrico, you’ll...
Out This Week The Last of Us Remastered, Rogue Legacy, Pure Pool
Back in business
After several seriously slow editions of ‘Out This Week’, the PlayStation Nation seems ready to shake away its summer malaise. Indeed, it’s going to be a surprisingly busy August for Sony’s suite of systems, with the platform holder eager to turn up the temperature before we even stumble out of July. The one game that’s...
Out This Week Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, Ratchet & Clank, The Walking Dead
An odd world
After the non-existent offering of last week, Planet PlayStation is practically bulging with high-quality content this time around. Alright, there still aren’t enough new releases to turn your boxer shorts inside out, but the likes of Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty and the Ratchet & Clank Collection – which is finally due out in...
Out This Week Crimsonland, Abyss Odyssey, and Tumbleweeds
The difficult edition
When we decided that we were going to post regular ‘Out This Week’ articles on Push Square, we knew that we were going to come unstuck eventually – and it’s finally happened. Outside of any last minute announcements, there are just three new titles currently confirmed for the three PlayStation platforms this time,...
Out This Week PS4 Puzzler MouseCraft, The Wolf Among Us Finale, and More
Curds of prey
If time flies when you’re having fun, then you may be in for a slightly longer week this time around. While there are a few new releases worthy of your attention over the coming days, we’re very much amid the slow summer months now. That means that you’re going to need to fill your time with digital downloads rather than big...
Out This Week Guacamelee! PS4, Ratchet & Clank HD Vita, and More
Super turbo championship edition
Well, isn’t that just typical? Two weeks ago, this editor apologised for the infrequency of the ‘Out This Week’ feature, adding that it will be published every Monday from now on. Of course, then said scribe swanned off on holiday, forgetting to prepare an edition of our regular release date report before...
Out This Week EA Sports UFC, MotoGP 2014, Battle Princess of Arcadias
The comeback special
Due to the madness of E3 2014, we’ve missed a couple of issues of Out This Week. As such, we’ve opted to change the format a little in order to ensure that we’re on top of these in the future. We’re still going to declare a weekly ‘Pick of the Week’, but instead of gabbing on about globs of other games [Not sure if...
Out This Week Watch Dogs, Lemmings Touch, Ace Combat: Infinity
Connected chaos
We sincerely hope that you’ve defeated the Nazis in Wolfenstein: The New Order and rediscovered your voice in Transistor, because the PlayStation release calendar is showing no signs of slowing down ahead of next month’s E3 event in Los Angeles. While the mere mention of the convention is enough to send shudders through the...
