Feature Push Square's PlayStation Predictions For 2012
It's 2012; the future is upon us
You didn't notice? Seriously, stop reading this article right now and find your nearest window — don't worry, we'll wait. Good, you're back. Did you notice the flying cars and newly built steel sky-scrapers on the horizon? Yeah, exactly. The future, huh? Unfortunately the future isn't quite as exciting as late 70s...
Feature PlayStation At GamesCom 2011: The PushSquare Round-Up
Phew
Thus concludes another bonkers day in PlayStation land, and we're sure the announcements won't stop coming as GamesCom fever takes hold over the course of the week. Sony's GamesCom press conference was, all told, a fairly muted affair with not an enormous number of huge announcements to shout about. But despite the lack of mind-shattering...
News PushSquare Service Announcement: Sony & EA GamesCom 2011 Press Conferences Today
Despite the anticipation being nowhere near E3, we always enjoy the muted build-up to the GamesCom press conferences
You're never going to see a megaton announcement at GamesCom, but because the anticipation is lower, those muted surprises are all the more impactful. The PlayStation 3 Slim announcement in 2009 was huge, and we'll never forget the...
E3 2011 Remember To Follow Us On Twitter For Full Reaction To Sony's E3 Press Conference

News Pick Up Some New PlayStation 3 Games, Support The Japanese Earthquake Relief Effort
What's up, guys? I don't want to make this post unnecessarily convoluted, so I'm going to jump straight to the point
I'm sure you're all aware of the situation in Japan. I've spent the last couple of days wondering what little I can do to help, and figured that the huge stack of PS3 games situated next to my desk might hold the answer. So I've...
News Merry Christmas From Everyone At PushSquare.com!
It's Christmas
No seriously it is. Ok, it's not. We're writing this on a dismal Sunday afternoon sometime in early December. Consider this a message from our future-self or something. Did we even say that right? Goodness knows. All we know is that this post will get published on Christmas morning, and we do genuinely wish you all a very Merry...

Feature Push Square's Sammy Hits 2,000 Trophies: At Last!
20 days later than the original specified date, I've finally hit my 2,000 trophy target
Ta very much Vancouver 2010, Dark Void and Army Of Two: The 40th Day review duty! Now I have 2,000 trophies, I feel very much the same as I did while I was sitting in the 1,900's - wishing I had the patience to replay older games just to pick-up all those...
News PushSquare's Sammy Hits 2,000 Trophies: Not Quite
My quest for 2,000 trophies came to a rather abrupt end shortly after my last post
See, the thing is, not only was I getting a little tired of the hunt, I'd also made contingency plans. "I'm never going to hit 2,000 with just old games," I told myself, "Need to strengthen my backlog by two games, and I'll do it easily." Of...
News PushSquare's Sammy Hits 2,000 Trophies: Part Two
I promise "you are a loser" I'm closing in on a couple more platinums
Please approve. You're my lone drive now. Thanks to my addiction to Borderlands I'm practically on the verge of platinuming the game. And I now have just 90 trophies left to go to achieve my task. I feel pretty much done with Batman right now, having completed all the Riddler...
News PushSquare's Sammy Hits 2,000 Trophies: Part One
It was Christmas yesterday
I got some time in with Borderlands but otherwise, I spent the day staring blankly into space wondering why I set myself a ridiculous challenge (to hit 2,000 trophies by January 4th if you were wondering). The 23rd was spent plonked in front of Colin McRae: DiRT 2, reminding myself why I rarely go for platinums. As...
News Seasons Greetings From PushSquare!
If you're reading this then you're probably stuffed full of turkey, and surrounded by a host of new Playstation content
At least, we hope you are. And in fact there's nothing much else for us to say really. From the whole team at PushSquare (and Twiggy!) we wish you a very merry Christmas. Stay tuned to the site as we countdown our Playstation...
News PushSquare's Sammy Hits 2,000 Trophies: Part Zero
It's Chrissssssssssssstmas
And that means time-off. And that means we don't have to play the games the publishers want us to. And that means Sammy's going trophy hunting. Over the course of the next 2 weeks, Sammy's going to get his digital e-peen on. Stay tuned to PushSquare as he endeavours to hit over 2,000 trophies before January 4th. His...
News Calling Time On Year One For PushSquare.com!
That's it
We're done. Year numero uno of PushSquare.com is over. Sorta. While we're shutting down the computers and heading home, a backlog of our work over the entire month of December is set to appear: namely our Game Of The Year countdown which will run everyday until January 3rd. There are also some reviews popping up from time to time. And...
News Disaster Announcement: PushSquare Computer System Is Borked
Hello from the local library
Yes, library. Since last night, the PushSquare office has been aflame with computer errors, crashes and viruses. This is bad news because it means we can't load up Firefox for long enough to tell you about amazing Playstation games. Boo! After many hours, braving the storms of computer code, the PushSquare technicians...
News Public Service Announcement: PushSquare Go On Modern Warfare 2 Themed Hiatus
Today is November 10th
That's the day that Modern Warfare 2 officially lands on store shelves. Chances are there's no one around to read this. Fact is, we aren't actually around to write it. This is being written on Sunday 8th November to inform you that, today (today being the Tuesday November 10th) we are playing Modern Warfare 2. And no, we don't...
News There's Another New Member Of The Family Here At The PushSquare Office
We're just a month on since there was last a new member of the family in the PushSquare office
But it's time to beef up our system selection again with yesterday's launch of the PSP Go. Sadly we had to wait an extra day for our system to drop at the office but we've got our hands on the thing now and are falling in love. It's tiny, light and really...

News Welcome To PushSquare's New Home... *UPDATED*
Welcome one and all back to PushSquare
We're sorry about the most dreadful day you've probably all had without us. As you may know, we moved hosts earlier today. As far as we can see the move has gone pretty smoothly. We're still looking at a few things we need to fix, but we're working closely with our new hosts to solve that. If you do have any...
News We're Moving Servers Y'all!
Hey welcome back
Yup, you couldn't get on PushSquare in the past hour. We were down again. You may not be totally aware but we've been in an ongoing tussle with our hosts (they are supposed to make the site stay online) for the past few months. That means we're waving goodbye and moving home. Will that make things better? We sure hope so. We're...
News Don't Be Alarmed If Something Breaks!
Hey, we're about to bring you that new PushSquare
We're plugging it in and hitting the switch. And that means fireworks will fly. Literally. It wouldn't be a launch if stuff didn't... well, stuff up. We think we have everything in place to make this as smooth as possible - but this is the Internet and computers and we've all been there; it's never...
News Hey PushSquare, What Have You Been Doing?
We'll admit it, it's been hard
Last Thursday we said to ourselves, "You know what PushSquare, you're the best Playstation site on the 'Net, but you could be better." So we brainstormed. Then we brainstormed some more. We come up with all the things we liked about the site, and all the things we didn't like. Our biggest concern was with the...
