Feature What Are September 2015's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Pick 'n' mix
Surely it can't be September already? We suppose that the calendar doesn't lie. Still, it doesn't feel like a week since we were celebrating the start of a new year, and now we're limping towards the end of it. But while the passage of time can be uncomforting, it does at least mean that there are new PlayStation Plus freebies around...
News September's PlayStation Plus Lineup Includes Four Free PS4 Games
Grow Home! Super Time Force Ultra! Teslagrad! Xeodrifter!
If you own a PlayStation 4, then you're in for a real treat next month, as you'll be getting four games for the new-gen format as part of your PlayStation Plus subscription. Grow Home won the Vote to Play poll, and will be one of your freebies, where it'll be joined by the brilliant Super...
Push Rewind Zombi, Project Morpheus, and PS4 Firmware Update Betas
Calm before the storm
Once again, we have to say that it's been a quiet week in the PlayStation Nation. However, we can't say that we're not enjoying the break. Things are about to get real hectic here at Push Square Towers, so we're licking our battle wounds and waiting for everything to heal while the insanity of holiday 2015 descends like a...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 81
Talk it out
It's just dawned on everyone at Push Square Towers that we've somehow produced 81 issues of WAYP. For starters, it's amazing that we haven't missed an edition yet – but even more incredible is that this remains one of the more popular features on the site. Who'd have thought that something so simple would be so successful? Sammy...
News PS4, PS3, Vita Games Go Under $8 in NA Flash Sale

News PS Vita Prototype Looked a Lot Like the PSPgo
HDMI and SD card support, too
Sony's PlayStation Vita didn't take the gaming world by storm unfortunately, but at one point in time it may have stood a better chance. One of the poorest decisions by the bigwigs at Sony was the use of propriety memory cards instead of the much cheaper and readily available SD cards. It's a decision which has baffled...
News Koei Tecmo's Attack on Titan Will Feature the Anime's Full Story in All of Its Grisly Glory
Attack on your free time
Fans of Attack on Titan rejoice: the upcoming action game from Koei Tecmo, currently named Attack on Titan, will include the popular anime's entire storyline. How much detail it'll actually go into is currently unknown, but you can probably bet on it covering the main plot points at least. What's more, the title will also...
News To No One's Surprise, Europe Has to Wait a Bit Longer for Persona 4 Dancing All Night
Thankfully it's still this year
And so Atlus continues its reign of brutal disappointment. Persona 4 Dancing All Night finally has a confirmed European release date, and it's no surprise that it's hitting these shores over a month after its North American launch. To be fair, though, we've seen far worse over the years, but it'll still be a bit of a...
News Koei Tecmo's Attack on Titan Game Certainly Looks the Part
Last stand
We're yet to get a good look at Dynasty Warriors developer Omega Force's take on Attack on Titan, but that'll probably change soon enough once Koei Tecmo start throwing out trailers left and right. But until then, you'll have to make do with these fresh screenshots from Famitsu. The good news is that it looks pretty promising, capturing...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 and Vita Enjoy a Small Sales Boost
But not much else
It's another reasonably boring report on the latest Japanese sales charts this week we're afraid. With literally no new PlayStation releases to speak of in the top 20, the software charts are drearier than ever, but funnily enough, Sony's platforms have actually enjoyed a small boost in shifted units. The PlayStation 4 sold...
News How Does Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Look on PS Vita?
Not as bad as you may think
Resident Evil: Revelations 2 has already been overshadowed by much better games, but it is still one of the surprise packages of the year. We were expecting the budget PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 survival horror to be a bit of a disaster, but the episodic escapade was thoroughly enjoyable from start-to-finish,...
Store Update 18th August 2015 (North America)
Grim pickings
Your double Tuesday dose of PlayStation Store updates continues with North America, as heavy hitters like Volume and Zombi descend on the United States. As in Europe, this is another absolutely gigantic refresh for PlayStation 4 owners – but all of these games are starting to make our internal review document look a little scary...
Store Update 18th August 2015 (Europe)
Dead loud
It's a colossal week on the European PlayStation Store this time – especially for the PlayStation 4. Vying for your attention are no less than eight games, with the likes of Zombi and Volume leading the charge. Spare a thought for Pure Hold 'Em which is also part of the roster, as well as Resident Evil Revelations 2 on the PlayStation...
News Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires Will Conquer Vita Along with All of Its DLC
At least in Japan
Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires launched earlier this year in the West on PlayStation 4. The hack and slasher adds a hint of strategy and plenty of role-playing to Omega Force's typical formula, but it was perhaps a surprise that the release never made it to Vita - particularly in Japan, and especially since Koei Tecmo seems to hold no...
News Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Digs Out Its Best Beach Wear on PS4, Vita
Bosom buddies
Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, the next entry in Team Ninja's lurid seaside simulator, will spike the PlayStation 4 and Vita exclusively, according to the latest issue of Famitsu magazine. The series – which is making its PlayStation debut with this instalment – sees you spending quality time with the well-endowed gals of the Dead or...
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...
News One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Shows Off Its New Characters with a Crazy Cinematic Trailer
Let's get Franky
Chances are if you don't know your One Piece, you won't have a clue what's going on in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3's newest trailer. Featuring newcomers Doflamingo and Fujitora, and a few glimpses of the game's story cutscenes, it's just about as bombastic as you'd expect. If you haven't been keeping in the loop, it's worth...
News UK Sales Charts: There's Nothing to See Here
Zzz
Ah, the British summer – a time where the locals turn out in too few clothes despite there being clouds in the sky and the sales charts hibernate for a few weeks. There's absolutely nothing worth mentioning in this latest top ten, but we'll do our best. LEGO Jurassic World is back at the top, while Grand Theft Auto V's in second. The Elder...
Push Rewind Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, PS4 Firmware Update 3.00, Vote to Play
We do it
It's been another quiet week here in the PlayStation Nation, but Everybody's Gone to the Rapture was good enough to get Kell Andersen screaming its praises here at Push Square Towers. There was also a major leak in the form of PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.00, which, at the time of typing, is actually yet to be officially confirmed...
Interview Shining Some Light on PS Vita's Actual Sunlight
An actual interview
Will O'Neill is the creator of the recently released PlayStation Vita game Actual Sunlight – a unique title that's a candid and no holds barred game about one man's struggle with depression. We thought that it'd be a good idea to have a quick chat with Will and find out a little bit more about him, the aforementioned release,...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 80
And relax
The sun has set on another not-so glorious summer week, in which the weather has been temperamental and the gaming news sporadic. Still, at least we have a new issue of WAYP to pad out our features section, eh? Here's what the team – with a few new faces – will be playing this weekend. Sammy Barker, Editor: I'm having a fantastic...
News What Is Samurai Warriors 4-II Exactly?
New official website tells all
It's perhaps no surprise that we get asked what Samurai Warriors 4-II actually is whenever we post news about it. The name's a confusing one, and anyone who doesn't keep up with each Warriors release is bound to feel lost to begin with. It's fortunate, then, that Koei Tecmo's opened up the title's official English...
News July 2015 NPD: PS4 Tops Hardware and Software Sales Again
Sony humbled by success
Sony can do no wrong in the United States it seems, as the PlayStation 4 was once again the best selling system in the all-important nation during July. Despite a lack of new releases, the continued popularity of the Japanese giant's exclusive Batman: Arkham Knight bundle pushed the organisation's box out in front – a spot...
News Yukiko Finds Her True Self in New Persona 4 Dancing All Night Trailer
Turns out her true self is John Travolta
If God made a fan service game and was also big into body pillows, it'd look a little something like Persona 4 Dancing All Night.The groove-'em-up still doesn't have a confirmed European release date, though, which has us moon-walking with fury. But these trailers are doing a good job of satiating this...
News Sword Art Online: Lost Song Grinds Out a Confirmed European Release Date
PS4 and Vita title heading West later this year
Even though we've finished and published our review of Sword Art Online Re: Hollow Fragment, we still find ourselves jumping back into the addictive world of Kirito and company. As such, the news that Sword Art Online: Lost Song - which is essentially a sequel to the aforementioned role-playing game -...
Review Lost Dimension (PS Vita)
Trust issues
With a doomsday timer set on the world, the villain known as The End summons 11 gifted members known as S.E.A.L.E.D. team to the Pillar – a mysterious structure that's appeared out of nowhere – in order to defeat him. However, he's planted traitors among the group. It's up to protagonist Sho Kasugai and his allies to determine who...
News Japanese Sales Charts: The PS4 Is Stuck in a Real Rut
Sales are down once again
We'd recommend getting used to how these charts look, because the PlayStation 4's going nowhere in Japan as long as there's a distinct lack of exclusive software hitting Sony's latest home console. The new-gen machine tallied up sales of just 14,619 units last week. You can compare the prior week's sales charts through...
News The EU PlayStation Store's Summer Sale Gets a Few More Tempting Deals
Ignore the sun
More games have been added to the PlayStation Store's summer sale in Europe, and we'd dare say that some of these new discounts are actually pretty good. The Vita arguably comes off best this time around, with Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2; Goodbye Despair leading the charge. The superb Persona 4 Golden is on...
Review Actual Sunlight (PS Vita)
Actually depressing
Depression is a fairly common mood disorder that, despite its frequency, is still not considered a serious issue by many. Sadly, some people think that a simple attitude change will fix all of the ailments; that it's a self-inflicted state of mind. This is simply not true. Actual Sunlight by Will O'Neill is a short, interactive,...
Store Update 11th August 2015 (North America)
Master of the universe
Ready for a humongous North American PlayStation Store update? Good, because that's exactly what Sony's got in store. Highlights obviously include Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Goat Simulator, but Toy Soldiers: War Chest and Gauntlet: Slayer Edition are also in with a shout. And then there's... Nope, we've run out of...
Store Update 11th August 2015 (Europe)
Baaaaa
We still haven't got used to the European PlayStation Store update coming before the North American one, but there's no time to dwell as we've got new releases to list. Let's not beat around the privet bush: Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is the big'un this time. Honourable mentions must go to Goat Simulator and Gauntlet: Slayer Edition,...
Game of the Month The Best PlayStation Games of July 2015
Indies, indies, indies, and more indies
July was a pretty dreary month for new releases, as evidenced by the list of nominees that we scraped together just days ago. With no heavy hitting blockbusters lining store shelves, it fell to several indie games to pick up the slack, and thankfully, four of them answered the call. May this be remembered as...
Competition Sony Wants You to Win an Ungodly Amount of PlayStation Goods
Are you game?
Ever wanted to own a mountain of PlayStation goods? Oh, you already do. Well, for those of you who aren't lucky enough to have acquired multiple limited edition PlayStation 4 consoles, dozens of games, memorabilia, and accessories, Sony has got a pretty great competition for you. Dubbed the Fully Loaded Turbo Charged contest, those of...
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...
News UK Sales Charts: A Rare Change at the Summit
Blast from the past
Xbox One exclusive Rare Replay shot straight to the top of the UK sales charts in a desperately slow summer week, securing the legendary British developer's first number one since Banjo-Kazooie all the way back in 1998. Elsewhere, last week's frontrunner LEGO Jurassic World moved down into second, while Batman: Arkham Knight, The...
Push Rewind Gamescom 2015, Mafia III, and PlayStation Plus
Dull Deutschland
What is historically one of the busiest weeks in the PlayStation gaming calendar turned out to be a bit of a damp squib, with Sony's presence at Gamescom 2015 spanning everything but a press conference. We did manage to mine the event for plenty of PlayStation 4 headlines, but our attention is already turning to the Tokyo Game Show...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 79
Inner smile
The Premier League season is back underway, so that means that this author will be spending the next ten or so months composing WAYP with half an eye on the BBC text updates. Of course, this article isn't about football, but the PlayStation games that will be keeping you company all weekend. Here's what our team are up to. Sammy Barker,...
News Gal Gun: Double Peace Plans on Bringing Its Risqué Pheremone Business West on PS4 and Vita
Careful now
If you've ever seen footage of Gal Gun: Double Peace, then you'll know why we put the word 'risqué' in the headline. The shoot-'em-up sees you blast away infatuated schoolgirls with the power of love against colourful backdrops, and for some, it's bound to be one step too far into the realm of weird, but at least we're seeing an influx...
Review J-Stars Victory VS+ (PS Vita)
Star-crossed
J-Stars Victory VS+ is actually quite a snug fit on the PlayStation Vita. The bite-sized battles feel like they're just the right size for a quick spot of portable play, and the graphics arguably look crisper than they do on the big screen. This is the same game that you can get on the PlayStation 4, which we've already covered in more...

News Japanese Sales Charts: Nothing to See Here, Go Back to Gamescom News
Off you go
Imagine writing a story about the Japanese hardware and software charts on a day when every game under the sun is getting Gamescom 2015 coverage. An atrocious process for all those involved, we're sure that you'll agree, but we do this every week, so we suppose that we're bound by duty. So, what's happening in Japan? The answer: bugger...
News Mighty No. 9 Misfires, Delayed Until 2016
Not so mega, man
Mighty No. 9 will indeed say nein [Yes, we're recycling that one – Ed] to its previously planned 15th September release, as Comcept has confirmed in a since pulled forum post that the Mega Man-esque escapade has been delayed. The news follows the conclusion of creator Keiji Inafune's failed Red Ash Kickstarter – we're sure...
Gamescom 2015 Attack on Titan Will Eat You Alive on PS4, PS3, and Vita in 2016

There are currently no details on how the game plays, but we do know that it's being developed by Omega Force - the studio behind the Warriors games. It's not like it's got much else going on, right? In any...
News PS4 Games Limbo to Lower Prices in Sizzling NA Summer Sale
How low can you go?
It's getting hot in here, so loosen up your PlayStation Network wallet: Sony's big Summer Sale is set to make you sweat for another week, with a slew of North American savings certain to have you dancing in your underpants. Alright, it's not that good – but who could argue with Danganronpa 2 for $16.00? Once again it's the...
Store Update 4th August 2015 (North America)
Submerge yourself in the PlayStation Store
As in Europe, this week's North American PlayStation Store update is a little on the light side – although the likes of Submerged and Galak-Z should hold your attention until some of the heavier hitters arrive a little later in the month. There's also the continuation of Sony's scorching summer sale, so...
Store Update 4th August 2015 (Europe)
The calm before the storm
Barring a few downloadable titles, it's slim pickings this week on the European PlayStation Store. Galak-Z is the headline PlayStation 4 act, while Submerged also sloshes onto Sony's latest console, but other than that, there really isn't much to write home about. In fact, this is probably one of the smallest updates that...
News Europe, Download Your PlayStation Plus Freebies Now
Get 'em while they're hot
Today may mark the onset of Gamescom 2015 insanity, but it's also the beginning of a new month for PlayStation Plus members. Sony's updated the Instant Game Collection in Europe today, and you can download all of the latest goodies direct from the PlayStation Store's browser-based client. Things aren't quite up-to-date on...
News PlayStation Now Subscriptions Shrunk Down to PS Vita
Not entirely forgotten
PlayStation Now has proven to be something of an anti-climax we suppose. Don't get us wrong, the technology is impressive, but Sony's struggled to stumble upon a business model that makes sense for both the company and consumers, and that's dampened the enthusiasm for the service somewhat. Plus, that whole backwards...
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:...
