News Batman: Arkham City Welcomes Back The Riddler
For all Batman: Arkham Asylum's brilliant game design, we had the most fun solving the Riddler's puzzles
For those of you who haven't played the game (erm, why not?) these short side missions had you scanning areas of the environment to solve puzzles. They were fun because they were both simple to locate and challenging to pin-point. One of our...

News Mortal Kombat "Shadows" Trailer Is Packed With Testosterone
This new Mortal Kombat trailer makes us want to punch things
It has a similar effect to the first time we heard Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff". We were impressionable young teenagers at the time; but man, that song made us want to punch people in the face. The franchise reboot from NetherRealm Studios is heading to PAX this weekend, and...

News Anyone Remember This Is Vegas?
Vaguely
We vaguely remember This Is Vegas. There was a bit of a push behind it at E3 2008, but by the time this website launched (in January 2009) things had gone quiet for the Midway published game. To be honest, we'd forgotten about it. So it's been weird seeing rumours pop-up all over the Internet this week regarding the projects status —...

3.A.R</a> this year, you'd better sit down. We'll be straight with you: it's been delayed. The game - which was originally due in October of this year - is now expected sometime in 2011. We imagine Call Of Duty has a little something to do with it. That's all we know...
News What's That? There's A Mortal Kombat Arcade Compilation Heading To The PlayStation 3?!?
Every three or four years we think to ourselves, "Y'know, we could really settle for some Mortal Kombat right now
" So we seek out a copy; be it a second-hand cartridge off eBay or a PSN download. We sit down, load the game up and lose our first fight. "Wh-?! What?" we declare in anguish, "Why is Mortal Kombat so slow, clunky and...

E3 2010 Mortal Kombat Brings The Fatalities For Sure
If you were worried that last week's Mortal Kombat reveal looked a bit tame, we've embedded a montage after the jump that may just cause you to bring back your breakfast
Well, not quite, but know that Mortal Kombat is indeed back, for real this time. The footage comes via ScrewAttack, and looks kind of ridiculous. It's gory, it's gross, it's a bit...

Rumour Mr. Freeze & Talia al Ghul Set To Appear In Arkham Asylum 2
If there was ever a villain we'd like to see in Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham Asylum 2, it would have to be Mr
Freeze. We've always thought he was awesome (even through the Arnie days) after we heard the, "revenge is a dish best served ice cold" — a line they have to sneak into the Arkham Asylum 2 script should he appear. Tweets picked up...
News Batman: Arkham Asylum 2 Will Be "Really Dark" (Yee!), Will Feature Two-Face
According to Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy, Arkham Asylum 2's going to be "really dark"

News Warner Bros. Trademark Netherrealm Studios
Netherrealm's part of the Mortal Kombat lore
As fans of the franchise will be well aware. Thus it doesn't take a genius to figure out what Warner Bros. recently filed trademarks for "Netherrealm Studios" are all about. We'll literally close down PushSquare if a new Mortal Kombat game doesn't show up at E3. Well, maybe not. But we're pretty...
News Live Action F.E.A.R. 3 Trailer Is Ridiculous, In A Kinda Dumb Way
Here's your first glimpse at the earlier-announced F
E.A.R. 3</a>. You'll note it looks absolutely ridiculous to the point of comedy. Still, if Alma's giving birth again, it definitely means there'll be a new game with things to shoot. Confirmed. We wish people'd use condoms and stop this freaky supernatural stuff from even starting.
News F.E.A.R. 3 Announced, New Developer On Board
Well, the official announcement's been a long time coming, but Warner Bros
has finally dropped the bomb regarding the upcoming F.E.A.R. 3. It's explicitly written F.E.A.R. 3 everywhere, despite the logo spelling out the rather dodgy F.3.A.R. Alas, the shooter's due on Playstation 3 this Fall. It'll of course feature the series' antagonist Alma,...
News LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 Video Is Strikingly Cute
Love 'em or hate 'em, there's something about the LEGO games from Traveller's Tales that is strikingly cute
This video from LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4 is from the third book. It's also as brilliantly lovely as you'd expect it to be. It's probably bad to be hyped for this game but whatever, we're stoked.
News Ruh-Roh: F3AR (Yup, That's FEAR 3) News Incoming
Look, we liked FEAR 2: Project Origin
Really liked it in fact. But no matter how good the third entry in Monolith's horror shooter franchise is - the name F3AR is terrible. Terrible. Alas, it looks like that's the name the game's going to get. According to a scan from a Spanish magazine, F3AR is due a full blow-out in the publication's next issue...

For those of you who played Mortal Kombat Vs

News New Single Player DLC Coming To F.E.A.R. 2
We quite enjoyed F
E.A.R. 2</a> when it launched earlier in the year. The roller coaster levels and competent AI made it a decent shooter that we'd hoped for more of. Thankfully our hopes are being answered in the form of new single player DLC. The content will allow players to see the end of the game from a different perspective: through the...
