Off with its head
Ubisoft has slashed the top off Assassin’s Creed Unity’s price on the PlayStation 4, dropping the next-gen exclusive down to £39.99 in Europe as part of Sony’s ongoing 12 Deals of Christmas initiative. The game’s due a patch on Monday that will hopefully solve its remaining issues, so this may be worth a punt.
News Your PlayStation Plus Sub Was Worth Nearly £1,000 in 2014
Bandwidth buster
PlayStation Plus has always represented outstanding value, but how has the service held up in 2014? We’ve been looking back at the full year of Sony’s premium membership today, and have some statistics that you may be interested in. The first of these is the value of the entire Instant Game Collection from January to December,...
Feature Did PlayStation Plus Represent Value for Money in 2014?
Play more, pay less
In hindsight, we suppose that Sony’s strategy with PlayStation Plus was a little cunning. When the platform holder rolled out its subscription service several years ago, it was billed as an optional extra for PlayStation 3 owners – a mere means for members to secure a pocketful of freebies for a nominal fee. As the years...

A realm reborn
There’s a free Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn trial for PlayStation 4 available as part of this month’s European PlayStation Store update, which has this editor shivering in the corner of a dark room, muttering “must resist” in a deranged fashion. Also up for grabs is Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris, which certainly...

A Lara games to get through
There’s no rest for the wicked, and Lara Croft’s got time for one last crusade before Christmas.

The...

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 15 Stages a Christmas League Comeback
The Crew cruises into sixth
After a few weeks off the top of the charts, FIFA 15 has staged an impressive comeback – and dethroned its rivals to reach the summit of the UK sales charts yet again. The soccer sim got its nose in front of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Grand Theft Auto V, both of which occupied the second and third spots...
Video Watch As We Recap November's Best PS4, PS3, and Vita Games
Slay to go
We’re trying something different with this latest Game of the Month video, as this video editor can’t stomach another restless weekend sat in front of Final Cut for a clip that will barely break 100 views. As such, this month’s edition has been condensed like a piece of IKEA flat pack furniture. Unlike the Swedish megastore’s...

Yo, @yosp
Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida’s meteoric rise to celebrity may have reached its natural conclusion this week, as the executive has been added as a playable character in the PlayStation 4 and Vita versions of Capy’s madcap action platformer, Super Time Force Ultra.

Reaction PlayStation Experience Keynote Closes the Year with Copious Content
Are you experienced
Sony’s always been a fan of announcing a new title or two in December, but PlayStation Experience appears to have taken this particular penchant to a whole new level.

News Supergiant Games' Bastion Will Transition To The PS4 and Vita
Hammer time
Indie developer Supergiant Games has put Bastion on just about every platform imaginable with the exception of Sony's machines, which is a disappointment considering that this particular scribe holds it as one of his favourite indie games. PlayStation players can delve into the developer's second indie hit called Transistor, which we...
News Shovel Knight Will Settle New Ground on the PS4, PS3, and Vita
Can you dig it?
If you've kept abreast on the hottest indie titles within the past year, you might have heard about the massively successful Shovel Knight, which recently passed 300,000 units sold.

News EA Celebrate PlayStation's 20th Birthday with Free PS4, PS3, and Vita Games for All
Happy birthday to you
If this week's offer of a free classic PSone theme for your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, or Vita wasn't good enough to celebrate Sony's big 20th, EA is being kind enough to toss some presents your way. To celebrate its support from the very beginning of the PlayStation's legacy, it's giving everyone a free copy of Plants Vs...
Game of the Month November 2014
The big one
2014's busiest month has come and gone, leaving us with heated debates over what should win our coveted Game of the Month award. With blockbusters abound and plenty of great games leaving lasting impressions, it was always going to be a tough one, but at the end of the day, only the final staff vote counts. So, which title took the crown...
News Cross-Buy Resogun to Blast onto PS3, Vita Before Christmas
Time to relapse
The folks over at Sony XDev Europe are certainly keeping themselves occupied.

This port is being handled by Climax – the same team behind Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition – and will...
News When Does The Game Awards Live Stream Start?
Telling the time
We may be hyperventilating over PlayStation Experience right now – and a certain Street Fighter V reveal – but Geoff Keighley will be getting his moment in the limelight first. The Game Awards represents a reboot of the format previously peddled by Spike TV, and because this is being financed independently by the Canadian...

Danganronpa 2 waves goodbye to despair
As the temperatures continue to plummet – seriously, that’s enough now – and the nights draw in, Sony’s customary European ’12 Deals of Christmas’ initiative is moving forward with pace. Today’s offers pertain to Battlefield 4: Premium Edition, which will set you back £29.99 on the PlayStation 4...
Feature What Will Sony Announce at PlayStation Experience?
All together now
The problem with video games is that everything interesting tends to happen at once. Think about it for a second: all of the big blockbusters either deploy before the end of the fiscal year in March, or in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Meanwhile, there are three major gaming conventions in the medium’s calendar, and two of...

News Sony Cashes in on PlayStation Nostalgia with EU Anniversary Sale
Classics get cut prices
PlayStation turns 20 today, meaning that while it’s not old enough to legally drink in most American states, it’s deserving of a darn good birthday bash. We’ve been doing our best to commemorate the launch of Sony’s first system all day, but if reading isn’t getting you in the party mood, why not play one of a dozen...

Wait a minute – today’s big PlayStation birthday bonanza is way too exciting for us to be posting the North American PlayStation Store update like normal, isn’t it?

Rumour Sony's About to Get Really Aggressive in China
Business development
Considering that PlayStation is already enormous in Japan and most of Asia, it was strange to see Sony allow the Xbox One to deploy in China first. Microsoft’s machine launched in the potentially lucrative region earlier in the year, and there’s been very little word from its rival when the PlayStation 4 will follow in its...

News UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Prevails on Black Friday Week
Spacey out
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare won the battle of Black Friday, knocking last week’s front runner Grand Theft Auto V from its perch atop the UK sales charts. Bundles make it almost impossible to get a proper read on this week’s best sellers list, but the top five is largely what you’d expect, with FIFA 15, Far
Feature Cyber Monday 2014 Deals - Every PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita Sale
Last minute lightning discounts
Cyber Monday is essentially Black Friday’s less exciting other half. The emphasis on online sales means that there are no amazing images of people brawling over cut-price games consoles – and the discounts themselves tend to be less interesting as well. That doesn’t mean that the savings should be ignored...
Push Rewind Black Friday Bundurus, PlayStation Plus Updates, and More
Don't speak
Thanksgiving meant that this was a quiet week in the PlayStation Nation, but the excitement surrounding Black Friday more than made up for the lack of news. We kept you up-to-date with the dozens of sales in the US and UK, and also used the holidays to quietly prepare for what’s sure to be a manic December. Brace yourselves, because...

Thanks gaming
It’s been a holiday week in the United States, which means that the rest of the world has been watching on with jealousy.

Sony’s big Black Friday flash sale in Europe was flush with PlayStation Vita titles, but its North American alternative overlooked the handheld entirely. This caused a bit of an uproar among followers of the format, but
News MLB 15: The Show to Hit a Homerun at PlayStation Experience
Clean connection
‘Twas the day after Thanksgiving, and all around the world, nary a word from a game developer could possibly be heard. That’s our way of saying that the industry has gone to sleep for the weekend, as there’s very little non-Black Friday related news filtering out. The best that we can do is an announcement of an announcement,...
News LEGO Games Go Cheap in Amazon UK's Black Friday Bargains
Block busters
Well, this has been a bit disappointing, hasn’t it? While the Xbox One has gone on sale countless times in Amazon.co.uk’s big Black Friday deals week, there’s still no sign of a PlayStation platform taking the plunge. Today’s offers are a little better, but they’re still primarily software focused we’re afraid. Indeed,...

Cut price chaos
Sony hasn’t forgotten about Europe. As was the case in the United States earlier this evening, the platform holder has launched a Black Friday fire sale in the Old World, with most deals set to run through until 1st December. Even more excitingly, the manufacturer hasn’t ignored the PlayStation Vita, so there’s something for...
Feature Black Friday 2014 Deals - Every PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita Sale
What are the best doorbusters?
Much like Christmas, the build-up to Black Friday has been unbearable at times.

Still, if you play your cards right, there are bargains to be found – and we've...
Feature What Are December 2014's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Christmas cheer
Thanksgiving is right around the corner for our American readers, but we suspect that the quality of December’s forthcoming PlayStation Plus update will determine just how thankful we’re all feeling come tomorrow morning.

News Injustice, Secret Ponchos, and Hitman Headline December's PlayStation Plus Lineup
Deadly Premonition, Titan Attacks, and more up for grabs

Burlap brilliance
LittleBigPlanet 3 finally arrives as part of this week’s European PlayStation Store update – although you’ll have to wait until Friday to play it in the UK. It’s joined by a handful of lower profile titles, including Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions, Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender DX, and the outrageously expensive
News Oops, Sony Will Be Compensating Vita Early Adopters for Misleading Marketing
Never stop paying
You may recall that a few years back, Sony was embroiled in a legal minefield over its marketing of the PlayStation Vita. If you're interested, and have a head for legal mumbo-jumbo, you can take a look at the US Federal Trade Commission's original charges through here. For the rest of you, though, the basic gist is that the...
Store Update 25th November 2014 (North America)
Different dimension
A much more condensed North American PlayStation Store update this week, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t packing some worthwhile additions. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is arguably the highlight this time, but Tales from the Borderlands: Episode One – Zer0 Sum has been securing some seriously high review scores, too...

News Pigeon Dating Sim Hatoful Boyfriend Flaps onto PS4 and Vita Next Year
Woo-ing you
When the visual novel Hatoful Boyfriend was launched in Japan by Hato Moa, many brushed the pigeon hook-up sim aside. Devolver Digital, however, grabbed the bird by the wings – and following a successful launch on Steam earlier in the year, it'll be flying onto the PlayStation 4 and Vita in 2015. This isn't an early April fools' day...

Avoid droid
Once upon a time on a PlayStation Vita far, far away lived a fast-paced 2D puzzler named Don’t Die, Mr. Robot!. The little ‘bot looked around at all of the other arcade games on the PlayStation Network and couldn’t help but feel that he was different from the rest. With their polished visuals and flashy lighting effects, his...
Review Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender DX (PlayStation 4)
Save the last kittens
If you've been feline like some cat-based shooting shenanigans, Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender DX may be the purr-fect solution. This retro-inspired shoot-'em-up takes a fur-miliar core gameplay mechanic, and wraps a gleefully absurd premise around it – but should you pick up this shooter right meow, or is it totally paw-ful?...
Home is where the heart is
Home is the side-scrolling mystery from one-man indie developer Benjamin Rivers. It’s an intriguing title with some horror elements thrown in for good measure, as well as a ‘choose your own adventure’ narrative.
