News December's Free PlayStation Plus Games Have Been Revealed

News Japanese Sales Charts: Star Wars Battlefront Explodes onto the Scene and Boosts PS4
The force is strong, etc.
The PlayStation 4 is finally holding steady in Japan, with last week's sales hitting a total of 29,052 units. It was helped, of course, by a very successful Star Wars Battlefront launch, which saw the blockbuster release sell through 123,908 copies - more than enough to put it at the top of the software charts. Meanwhile,...
Review Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires (PS Vita)
A real strata-gem
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires is the first Empires spin-off game to make it West on the Vita, and it's actually a bit of a revelation. The Empires formula fits so well on Sony's handheld that we'd go as far as to recommend this version over its home console counterpart – even if the graphics have been toned down considerably in...
Store Update 24th November 2015 (North America)
Beyond!
We're working on Grace Chen Time this week, so apologies for the North American PlayStation Store update going live about… Well, 12 hours late.

Push Rewind PS2 Games on PS4, Sony's 2016 Lineup, and Star Wars Battlefront
Old-school
This was shaping up to be a quiet week until Sony decided to reveal that PlayStation 2 games are coming to the PlayStation 4. It's been a bit crazy since then, with Star Wars Battlefront being the title that's been taking up the bulk of our attention. Fortunately, we padded out the start of the week by looking at next year's lineup –...

News Read Only Memories Is a Neo-Adventure Game for PS4, Vita
Snatcher it up
We'll be brutally honest: there are so many indie releases on the PlayStation 4 and Vita these days that we struggle to cover them all. One title that's stood out this week, though, is Read Only Memories – a modern take on the adventure game set in a cyberpunk world known as Neo-San Francisco. The title's Snatcher-esque art style...

Store Update 17th November 2015 (North America)
Feel the force
It's a big week on the North American PlayStation Store, with Star Wars leading the charge. Battlefront should need no introduction, but it's worth pointing out that SNES smash Super Star Wars is also out in the US today. And if you're not into George Lucas' sci-fi series, then perhaps Deadpool or Game of Thrones: Episode 6 will...

C3P-Go
Three consecutively enormous weeks on the PlayStation Store conclude with the latest European PlayStation Store update, as Star Wars Battlefront becomes the last big game to hit the PlayStation 4 before Just Cause 3 next month.

Buy it, you must
Star Wars Battlefront may not be the best sci-fi spin-off in town this week. Sony has confirmed on the PlayStation Blog that SNES classic Super Star Wars will be releasing on the PlayStation 4 and Vita on 17th November – in North America at least. There's no word on how much it'll cost, but
News UK Sales Charts: Fallout 4 Goes Nuclear on PS4
Bombs dropped
As expected, Fallout 4 absolutely scorched the UK sales charts this week, entering in first position and securing the third biggest launch of the year so far.

News October 2015 NPD: PS4's Halo Slips as System Slumps to Second Defeat of the Year
Bruised but not broken
Sony couldn't muster a sixth successive NPD victory in October 2015, as the Xbox One and Halo 5 managed to overcome the PlayStation 4's price drop. In truth, it looks like it was a pretty middling month for home consoles in the United States, with sales barely increasing year-over-year. However, it's worth remembering that the...
News Is This the Most Glorious PS Vita Design Yet?
Cor, slimey
One story that's gone under the radar a little bit is the success of Minecraft: PS Vita Edition in Japan. The game's barely left the Media Create charts since its launch, and has sold almost 400k copies on the handheld in Sony's home nation. There's a market for "building" games in the East, then – and the upcoming Dragon Quest...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Gets a Boost as Black Ops 3 Blasts to the Top
Explosive
Most Western titles barely manage to register in the Japanese software charts, but that hasn't been the case for Call of Duty in quite some time.

News Fallout 4 Looks and Plays Fantastic on the Vita
Rad
It's been a while since we've written anything about Remote Play, but this deserves its own story: Fallout 4 looks and plays wonderfully on the handheld format. Earlier in the year, Josh Hamrick tweeted that he was working around the clock to make the functionality dazzle in Bethesda's gigantic role-playing release – and the embedded video...

We normally let Ben Potter write the captions for his videos, but seeing as no one's seen him since this clip was submitted, someone else has had to step in. To be honest, what with all of the bombs and gun fire audible in the above watch box, we're starting to get a bit worried. Potter, message us if you're reading this, yeah?
Store Update 10th November 2015 (Europe)
Waster land
We don't really need to tell you what's new on the European PlayStation Store this week, do we? Okay, maybe we do: Fallout 4. But while Bethesda's colossal role-playing release will certainly be catching the most attention, it's worth pointing out that there are other games – like Sword Art Online: Lost Song, for starters – available...
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...
Push Rewind Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Need for Speed, Just Cause 3
Better late than never
Your host feels like Bart in the opening credits of The Simpons: we will not miss another edition of Push Rewind. We will not miss another edition of Push Rewind. The Internet in Push Square Towers went down on Sunday, so we didn't get the opportunity to put this together then. Fortunately, this author's found a spare 15...

Round Up Push Square's October 2015 Reviews
Not so spooky
October was one heck of a busy month for us here at Push Square. We reviewed an absolutely massive 44 titles across 31 days – which is surely some sort of record. There were big scores aplenty, as well as some big releases - but it wouldn't have been the year's spookiest month without some real horrors to go along with the good...

Accessory Review PS Vita Cases Don't Come Much Slicker Than This
Never go out of style
Sony may not be sure whether it's done with the PlayStation Vita, but we're certainly not finished with the format. The handheld may not have set the sales charts alight, but it's host to dozens of amazing games – many of which, like Persona 4 Golden, remain shamefully nestled in this author
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Seems to Have Found a Bit of Stability at the Top
And we're not talking firmware
Yes, the PlayStation 4's numbers have dropped, but not by much. Sony's latest console shifted 22,104 units last week, which is down just 800 from prior figures - not a bad result considering that the machine's been steadily slipping back to its pre-price cut sales until now. The Japanese company will probably be hoping...

Gotta go fast
Those familiar with the DJ Max series back in the PlayStation Portable era will immediately recognise this rhythm game.

News UK Sales Charts: Assassin's Creed Syndicate Loses Its Halo
While Black Ops III waits in the wings
It would have been an absolute catastrophe if Halo 5: Guardians failed to top the sales charts, but it did – outselling the launch numbers of Assassin's Creed Syndicate by 50 per cent. Of course, it's worth noting that Ubisoft's open world romp through London was the poorest performing entry in the property...
