News Strip-'Em-Up Akiba's Trip Will Ship on an 8GB PS Vita Card [Updated]
And will feature more men
If there’s one unspoken issue consistent across virtually all PlayStation Vita ports, it’s that the audio is often horribly compressed.

Sea what you did there
Regular readers will recall that this dulcet toned editor was promised an all expenses paid trip to WrestleMania last month – a reward for lending a very capable larynx to the Push Square cause.

Flamin' heck
Coming up with interesting introductions to these PlayStation Store updates becomes a challenge after a while, so we’re just going to dive straight into this European refresh and hope that no one notices the distinct lack of effort.

Should have gone to Specsavers
When Demon Gaze first burst onto the scene in Japan last January, it sold 25,316 physical copies in its first week alone, outselling Compile Hearts' Monster Monpiece which launched on the same day. Subsequently, PlayStation Vita owners outside of Japan rejoiced as Kadokawa Games’ dungeon crawling success story was...

Round 14
We're going into dangerous and bloody territory for this week's edition of Who Would Win Wednesdays, as two seedy criminals fight for the right to boast about their combat prowess.

Best played with friends
While most games can travel West without being lost in translation, others can lose some of their innate charm.

Yes, we’re a little late with this latest edition of Push Rewind, but cut us some slack – today was a public holiday in the UK, after all. Still, with stories spanning new PlayStati
Review Muramasa Rebirth (PlayStation Vita)
Radiant revival
While most widely known as the family-friendly home console featuring a myriad collection of party games and fitness titles, the Nintendo Wii was also home to some of last generation’s better adult-oriented forays. Many of these titles got swept under the rug due to poor sales and a missing target audience, but some received much...
Review Starlight Inception (PlayStation Vita)
Failure to launch
The space combat genre seems to be making something of a comeback lately, with releases like Strike Suit Zero: Director’s Cut lighting up the dark corners of space.
