Moving in a new direction

Subtract the upcoming God of War: Ascension and The Last of Us from the equation, and 2012 is looking like PS3’s most mainstream year yet. Sure, the likes of Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale have crossover appeal (they are evidently designed with nostalgia in mind) but

Blue streak

The backlash against Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I must have hit SEGA hard. Here was a game everyone said they wanted — a high-definition return to Sonic's 2D roots, and while it was a decent game on its own merit it didn't feel like a true continuation of those classic 16-bit adventures. It was almost like an athlete coming out of...

Firefight

EA’s released the brand new Medal of Honor Warfighter trailer which debuted during last night’s dramatic Champions League final. The footage shows a familiar mix of explosions, military chatter and gunfire. Not exactly original, but at least the graphics look hot. Medal of Honor Warfighter releases in October on PlayStation 3...

Persona leading the charge

It’s no secret that PlayStation Vita has been having a torrid time in Japan of late, but Sony is optimistic about the platform’s fortunes heading into June. Retailers around the country are anticipating strong sales for the upcoming Persona 4: The Golden and the Vita version of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. In...

Mounting evidence

We know résumé rumours are getting a bit tired, but we felt like this was important enough to warrant a post. Following on from Omar Kendall’s tease earlier in the week, the eagle-eyed folks over at TheGamingLiberty.com have uncovered a CV seemingly confirming PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale f

Vintage collection

No console is complete without a full compilation of SEGA classics, and so we’re pleased to report that the Japanese publisher is extending its Vintage Collection range for PSN next week. Headlining the additions (for us at least) is the arcade version of the brilliant Super Hang-On. Sadly it doesn’t come with a motorcycle for...

Celebrity deathmatch

Someone put a sock in inFamous 2 voice actor Eric Ladin’s mouth. After already teasing the possibility of Cole MacGrath’s appearance in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, the loose lipped voice actor has now all but confirmed the character’s presence alongside Solid Snake and Nathan Drake. The star

A sensational treat

Awesome audio visual collaborators Superbrothers and Jim Guthrie have announced their involvement in Queasy Games’ upcoming Sound Shapes for Vita. The duo – who previously combined for 2011’s brilliant Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP – will contribute an “album” to the upcoming Vita platformer named CORPOREAL...

Vroom vroom

The bigwigs at Sony have clearly being paying close attention to the comments section here at Push Square. We’ve noticed you lot getting fidgety over every new PS3 announcement, and it looks like the platform holder’s starting to respond. It announced Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for Vita this morning and it looks like LittleBigPlanet...

Bargain

If you’re in the market for an absolute bargain this weekend, then allow us to refer you to a current offer taking place at Vodafone stores across the UK. Right now, the mobile service provider is selling 3G versions of the PlayStation Vita for £194. That’s a whopping £85 off the recommended retail price. Now, before you ask, there are...

Price of a pizza

The 15 people that actually played Techland’s off-road racer Nail’d will tell you that, terrible name aside, it was pretty good fun. We were one of those 15 people, and we agree. The big problem with Nail’d was its delivery method and price. For a few pennies on the PlayStation Store it would have been a roaring success, but...

Back of the net

Those of you paying attention back in March will recall us getting hot and sweaty over Grip Games’ upcoming PS3 and Vita table football simulator, Foosball 2012. The cross-platform party title is packed with features included PlayStation Move support and online play. In order to build hype for the game’s impending release, Grip...

Day and date

The upcoming Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is no longer a PS3 exclusive – the title will also launch on PlayStation Vita. You’ll be able to pick up the handheld adventure on the same day as the home console release. The two titles will feature cloud save support, allowing you to continue your progress on the go. Furthermore, the Vita...

Future proof

Look, we know this behind the scenes XCOM: Enemy Unknown developer diary is designed to detail the process developer Firaxis has taken updating the classic strategy franchise for a modern era – but we’re more interested in the studio’s office. The video shows a book cabinet, massive reception area and a ping-pong table. These...

Blurry eyed

Lightbox Interactive’s debut project is a roaring success, as our Starhawk review has already established. But that’s only due to a valiant effort from its dedicated team. Check out this behind the scenes trailer to learn about the 20 hour working days, tears and heart ache that went into making Starhawk such a great game. And then...

Not lost the plot

Famed director Guillermo Del Toro's first foray into video games, inSANE, has not been cancelled, troubled publisher THQ has confirmed. While it has dropped Tomonobu Itagaki's Devil’s Third, it has confirmed continued development on the mysterious PS3 survival horror title. Very little is known about inSANE other than its...

Happy, happy

The official website for SEGA’s uber-niche (but absolutely brilliant) Yakuza franchise has been overhauled, teasing the impending reveal of Yakuza 5. Excuse us while we go and perform some cartwheels around the office to release our overflowing excitement. Phew, that’s better. The website shows construction workers and a poised...

Head to head

EA’s not going to let Activision hog the spotlight on its own. Following on from yesterday’s Call of Duty: Black Ops II announcement, the publisher has revealed that it will debut its own brand new Medal of Honor Warfighter trailer during this weekend’s Champions League final. It’s like all out advertising warfare... in the...

Can you Adam and Eve it?

CCP Games has kicked off the beta registration process for its upcoming PS3 exclusive DUST 514. The title – which ambitiously ties into PC MMO Eve Online – is set to get a free PSN release this summer, but the developer needs help finalising its code. Eve Online members will be given first priority, followed by attendees...
