Game of the Month July 2014 - The Last of Us Remastered
Your record is broken
They may be the spores of yore, but it’s no surprise that The Last of Us Remastered has clouded our minds since its release last week. Technically an August launch in Europe, we figured that we’d classify it in this version of Game of the Month because, well, we don’t have any hard rules for this sort of thing and just...
Store Update 6th August 2014 (Europe)
Don't go breaking my chart
It’s the sizeable roster of free PlayStation Plus titles that are likely to keep you occupied this week, with the European PlayStation Store update playing host to new Instant Game Collection arrivals Metrico and Road Not Taken. Elsewhere, highlights include The Swapper and Table Top Racing, as well as the standalone...
Store Update 5th August 2014 (North America)
Got, got, swap
It’s another big week for Sony’s trio of systems on the North American PlayStation Store, with Road Not Taken, The Swapper, Metrico, and Table Top Racing all leading the lineup. Those of you looking to the future may like to plonk down a pre-order on LittleBigPlanet 3 or
Review Table Top Racing (PlayStation Vita)
Micro machines
There’s something enjoyable about viewing the world through the lens of tiny eyes. Codemasters’ legendary Mega Drive adaptation of Galoob’s popular Micro Machines toys cottoned onto this, allowing you to race around workbench surfaces and cereal encrusted breakfast bars. Table Top Racing, a PlayStation Vita port of Playrise...
News Survive the Summer with Scorching European PS4, PS3, and Vita Savings
Sweat shop
Sony seems fairly fond of gigantic cross-platform sales these days, and this latest summer offering looks set to turn up the temperature yet again. While not exactly loaded with hot deals, there are some worthwhile savings within this list that will likely tempt you into parting with your hard-earned cash. Alas, you’ll probably want to...
News The Stealthy CounterSpy Infiltrates All PlayStation Consoles Next Month
No box included
We love release dates here at Push Square, and even more so when they sneak up behind us without warning. Dynamighty's CounterSpy passes all of its stealth checks, as its arrival has crept up on us like a particularly efficient spy. Blending together gun-toting action along with tactical espionage, this side-scroller will arrive on...
Store Update 30th July 2014 (Europe)
Big break
Make no mistake: The Last of Us Remastered is the big new addition to the European PlayStation Store this week. Alas, we’re running out of Joel and Ellie flavoured thumbnail images at this point, so we figured that we better rack up a Pure Pool picture instead. Chalk it up to variety. Sorry. PlayStation 4: Pure Pool Price: £
Store Update 29th July 2014 (North America)
After all we've been through
It perhaps won’t surprise you to learn that The Last of Us Remastered represents the biggest addition to the PlayStation Store this week. The title’s launching alongside a list of multiplayer add-ons longer than heroine Ellie’s entire body, so get ready to spend a little extra if you like cosmetic competitive...
Review Might & Magic: Duel of Champions - Forgotten Wars (PlayStation 3)
Pay £7.99 for tagline
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Might & Magic: Duel of Champions - Forgotten Wars is some kind of trading card video game, but that’s short-sighted. No, it’s an investment opportunity of a lifetime – a chance to hand out huge amounts of money in return for digital versions of cards that your other half probably...
Review Rogue Legacy (PlayStation 4)
Castle smashers
There are plenty of brutal indies that'll put your dexterity to the test on Sony platforms. The likes of Spelunky and Cloudberry Kingdom represent a somewhat niche, but addictive genre. However, Rogue Legacy, a title that blends platforming and simple combat with role-playing mechanics, is perhaps one of the most inspired that we've...
Review DayD Tower Rush (PlayStation Vita)
Dino-bore
You can’t swing a cat these days without hitting several tower defence games, and as a result it’s become increasingly difficult for new arrivals in the genre to stand out from the crowd. DayD Tower Rush is one such title, which, after trying its luck on iOS last year, has decided to peddle its mix of dinosaurs, time travel, and...
News Wait, People Are Still Going on About the Infamous PSN Hack?
You may get a free game out of it
Few could forget the infamous PlayStation Network hack. It was a time of sorrow, solitary gaming, and some serious FUD from major publications. And it’s a story that’s still running to this very day, as Sony has just agreed to settle a $15 million class action lawsuit – which could net you a free game if you...
Store Update 23rd July 2014 (Europe)
Mass exoddus
Ever had one of those days where every single thing except the sky caving in goes wrong – and then, just to top it all off, your office chair falls to bits? Yeah, us neither – but the bit about the seat was true. So, here we are, writing the European PlayStation Store update on our hands and knees. No, there aren’t any suitable...
Store Update 22nd July 2014 (North America)
Smell you later
PlayStation veterans are in for a treat this week, as Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty is set to bring a funny whiff to Sony’s shiny black box. The remake of popular PSone classic Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee – which has forever tainted this editor’s ability to spell ‘odyssey’ – carries a premium price point at $29.99, but has...
News PSN Offline for Some as Bungie Deploys Destiny Beta Codes for PS4
What the heck does 'E-820001F7' mean?
We’ve been sat waiting for our Destiny beta code to appear all day, so it’s not exactly surprising that the PlayStation Network has collapsed mere moments after the first batch have gone out. Sony’s online status page notes that it’s “currently experiencing high volume and users may experience issues...
Review Sacra Terra: Kiss of Death (PlayStation 3)
Love island
What’s a girl to do? Her man’s taking his sweet time proposing to her, and she’s getting bored of waiting for him. You could probably think of any number of sensible courses of action in this situation, none of which involve picking up a book on witchcraft so that you can perform a love spell. Still, in PlayStation 3 puzzler Sacra...
Store Update 16th July 2014 (Europe)
Something good
Much like its North American counterpart, this week’s European PlayStation Store update has a nice summer feel; in other words, there’s so little on offer that you may actually be forced to head outside and enjoy the warm weather. If that’s a frightening prospect for you, there are a few worthwhile additions this week, including...
Store Update 15th July 2014 (North America)
Bloodlust
We hope that you haven’t cleared your backlog yet, because there’s not a whole lot to get excited about in this week’s North American PlayStation Store update. Gory twin-stick shooter Crimsonland is arguably the most noteworthy addition, while artsy sidescroller Abyss Odyssey is also up for grabs. We’re convinced that the latter...
Review Constant C (PlayStation 3)
Inconsistent C
Constant C is a new puzzle platformer from International Games System. In it, you control a robot that awakes from a slumber of sorts on a space station where time has seemingly stopped. What’s the cause of this? How do you fix it? Through the course of the game, you acquire abilities that allow you to manipulate gravity in order to...
Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 5 - Cry Wolf (PlayStation 3)
Every dog has its day
So, this is it. We’ve finally made it to the end of protagonist Bigby Wolf’s investigation into the murder of a Fabletown resident that began some eight months ago. It’s been one hell of a journey, with plot twists, surprising levels of violence, and acts so unspeakable that Walt Disney would turn in his grave if he knew...
Store Update 9th July 2014 (Europe)
Bite me
There are a couple of unexpected additions to the European PlayStation Store this week, with both 1920s trumpet-a-thon Jazz: Trump’s Journey and ghoulish bicycle simulation Skeleton Rider pedalling onto the PlayStation Vita. Other anticipated additions include season finale
Store Update 8th July 2014 (North America)
A different place
You’ll finally be entering Another World with this week’s North American PlayStation Store update, so don’t forget to stock up on sodas – and the odd strategy guide or two. Accompanying the re-release of Delphine Software’s timeless classic is whiffy puzzler MouseCraft and manga tie-in One Piece: Unlimited World Red. What...
DLC Review Is Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn's £24.99 Complete Bundle DLC Worth the Cost?
Heavy metal
Let's start with the obvious: when you've just coughed up around £30 for a game only to find that there's a £24.99 DLC bundle ready and waiting on the PlayStation Store from day one, it's hard not to feel a little robbed. Sure, it's stuff that adds to the core game, but you probably haven't even had the chance to shoot down your first...
Game of the Month June 2014 - Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Wartime winner
We're now deep into the summer months, and 2014's hottest season has thankfully provided some sizzling titles so far. Last month's selection may have been lacking in blockbusters, but we ended up giving out a slew of high scores to a bunch of vastly different games. Alas, as you've probably already guessed, Ubisoft's picturesque...
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 The Wolf Among Us Reveals Itself in Season Finale Next Week
That's a wrap
While we pride ourselves on our biting commentary here at Push Square, this editor is unable to tell you anything about the fifth episode of The Wolf Among Us, which is set to launch on the PlayStation 3 next week. That’s primarily because this humble author still hasn’t played the second instalment, and we’re assuming that the...
Store Update 2nd July 2014 (Europe)
One spicy meatball
Games bring all of the boys and girls to the PlayStation Store, and there’s plenty to look forward to as part of this week’s European refresh. We suspect that the tasty treat at the top of your wishlist will be the hard-to-type PlayStation 4 re-release Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition, but the Vita version of the...
Store Update 1st July 2014 (North America)
Quick, catch up
July has somehow already arrived with gusto – and Sony has deployed a brand new batch of PlayStation Store goodies to celebrate. Yes, we’re a little late with North America’s latest update, but sports organisers will insist on running the World Cup and Wimbledon at the same time. Thank heavens this only happens once every four...
News Just About Every Japanese Game You Can Think of Has Been Discounted in This Massive EU PSN Sale
Gifts from the East
Fancy nabbing some great Japanese games for your PlayStation 3 or Vita? Kicking off today in Europe, the PlayStation Store is discounting a frankly ridiculous amount of Eastern titles. The bountiful sale will last two weeks, so there's thankfully plenty of time to pick and choose your favourites. From almost every Final Fantasy...
News The Swapper Will Be Invading All of Your Sony Consoles This Summer
Clones 'R' Us
Our wallets love cross-buy titles. Not only can you play them on the go, but if you have yet to make the transition to the PlayStation 4, you won't find yourself having to shell out a few months later. We suppose that there's always a worry that the next-gen version may have been downgraded to meet its less powerful siblings, but the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 30
Gaming with the window open
It's been a long and warm Summer week for this Associate Editor. Android-like boss Sammy abandoned his post to run away on a lovely country holiday, but we've somehow made it through without the site catching fire or exploding — and you know what that means. Indeed, it's time to set aside your worries and relax by...
Store Update 25th June 2014 (Europe)
Explore strange new worlds
This week is all about adventure on the European PSN store, which is perfect for those wishing the holidays could start early before the knock out rounds of the World Cup. Will you be visiting the past with Valiant Hearts: The Great War or will you be taking a trip to the future with Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Reborn? If a...
News July's PS Plus Update Slashes with Strider and Teases with TowerFall Ascension on PS4
Dead Space 3, Vessel, and LEGO Batman 2 bring up the rear
Hold onto your hats, because July's PlayStation Plus update has been officially announced. As rumours suggested, Capcom's slick slash-'em-up Strider and intense indie TowerFall Ascension make up the upcoming month's PlayStation 4 offering. Elsewhere, the ageing PS3 gets scary with the...
Store Update 24th June 2014 (North America)
It's a long one
Boy, this week's update is a huge one, so we hope your wallets are ready if certain other sales haven't managed to make them whimper like newborn infants already. If you're wanting to make more than your wallet miserably depressed, Valiant Hearts: The Great War has you covered. However, if you're wanting something more relaxing this...
Review Battle Princess of Arcadias (PlayStation 3)
Such a peach
Being a princess is overrated. You’ll soon wear out your waving hand, you have to speak to poor people (which even poor people hate doing), and the occasional gifted helicopter from the in-laws does little to take the edge off. Being a battle princess, alternatively, is a completely different affair. It means you get to go out and hit...
News You'll Be Able to Test Your Skills in Naruto: Ninja Storm Revolution's Japanese Demo Next Week
Is Mecha Naruto worth the hype?
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution is slated for a Western release this September, but no doubt some of you ninjutsu enthusiasts are finding the wait near impossible. Thankfully, much like a team's dedicated medical ninja, help is close at hand. Next week, those with a Japanese PSN account will be able...
News PS4's Resogun Rescues a Free Update Tomorrow, Adds New Trophies and Local Co-op
Boom, there it is
Despite the fact that Sony put a lot of stock into the PlayStation 4's retail launch line-up which included the likes of Knack and Killzone: Shadow Fall, many of us were too busy being mesmerised by Resogun to take notice. The downloadable spaceship shooter from developer Housemarque even went on to win our award for Best...
Store Update 18th June 2014 (Europe)
On your bike
Assuming that you like bikes, there’s a lot to get excited about in this week’s European PlayStation Store update. You’ll be able to pick between pedals or petrol in Tour de France 2014 and MotoGP 14, both of which will be available on the PS4 and PS3. Assuming that you like exercise of another kind, EA Sports UFC will also enter...
Store Update 17th June 2014 (North America)
Show's over
With the buzz of E3 2014 now all but over, all eyes are on the PlayStation Store – and there’s quite a lot to get excited about in North America’s weekly refresh. First and foremost, you can now pre-order Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare for your platform of choice, with PlayStation-themed goodies up for grabs if you register...
Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 - In Sheep's Clothing (PlayStation 3)
A sheep in wolf's clothing
We’re just one episode shy of wrapping up the debut season of Telltale Games’ episodic Fables adaptation, and while we look to the final instalment to tie up loose ends and answer burning questions, it’s equally important that the penultimate chapter takes the time to set it up properly – and that it seemingly...
Game of the Month May 2014 - Transistor
Botch dogs
Would you believe us if we told you that our staff vote to determine May's Game of the Month ended in a three-way tie before the final decision was made? For the first time in Push Square history, the race was so close that we had no choice but to determine a winner based on review score, and that's why the rather good looking Transistor...
News Pay Tribute to Last Year's E3 with European PSN Sale
Wallets at the ready
With the gluttony of blockbusters set to be revealed imminently at E3 2014, it's going to be hell waiting until Christmas and beyond to actually play them. Fortunately, Sony's aiming to ease your impatience with a sizeable sale on the European PlayStation Store. This focuses on titles from last year's big show, so if you missed...
News The Walking Dead's Not Quite as Depressing in Zen Pinball 2 Form
Ramping up the emotion
Keeping curly haired baseball cap fan Clementine safe can be draining during Telltale Games’ take on the classic comic book series The Walking Dead, but proceedings look a little more laidback in Zen Pinball 2’s table based upon the award winning episodic game. Set during the series’ first season, this ambitious arena...
News Level Up Your PSN Library with North American RPG Flash Sale
Praise the sun
There are certainly no shortage of role-playing games on the PlayStation Network, and as part of a new North American promotion, you'll be able to pick up 15 fan favourites on the cheap. The sale includes Western and Eastern titles alike, with notable classics such as Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and the fiendishly difficult...
Store Update 4th June 2014 (Europe)
Producing perfection
Being a detective isn’t easy at the best of times, but we suspect that it’s a teensy bit more difficult when you’re dead. That’s the predicament that Ronan O’Connor faces in Murdered: Soul Suspect, the supernatural thriller from Square Enix. While ghosts are at the forefront of this week’s European PlayStation Store...
Store Update 3rd June 2014 (North America)
Murder on the dancefloor
If you still think that the PlayStation 4 is suffering from a drought, then we’re not entirely sure what planet you’re living on anymore. This week’s North American PlayStation Store update features five new games, including the intriguing Murdered: Soul Suspect and PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate. Moreover, you’ll now be...
News Sleep Easy, The Wolf Among Us Will Arrive in Europe for the Weekend
Counting sheep
When Telltale Games dropped the bomb that The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 wouldn't be arriving in Europe this week, we got a glimpse of what it feels like to be protagonist Bigby himself. Fortunately, we can keep calm and carry on, as the release will actually come out of hiding on 30th May. While the delay has been less than a week,...
Store Update 28th May 2014 (Europe)
Plenty of buzz
We’re aware that our Watch Dogs puns have become more tiresome than the classic Nokia ringtone, but if you could just hold your temper for one second, then we’ll hang up our funny hat. Unsurprisingly, it’s Ubisoft’s open world adventure that’s the hot new addition to the European PlayStation Store this week, but honourable...
Store Update 27th May 2014 (North America)
Keep watch
We suspect that this week’s headline addition needs no introduction, as open world adventure Watch Dogs is available now on the North American PlayStation Store. Assuming that you have some leftover time and money, however, there are a handful of lighter bites to keep you occupied, including Lemmings Touch, Mind Zero, and Monster...
News Europe Is Left Out of The Wolf Among Us' Release Next Week
This little piggy had none
We're used to Telltale's antics by now, though the announcement that The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 is arriving the week after The Walking Dead will be a curve ball to many, especially for those of you building up a backlog. However, it seems like us Europeans have no choice but to plug our ears in order to avoid spoilers,...
