  • News Sony Removes $5 Requirement from PlayStation Store

    Whey

    Someone tag rjejr into this article to make sure he sees it because he’s been ranting about this on Push Square for as long as we can remember: Sony has removed the $5 funding charge from the PlayStation Store. This used to be a thing in Europe as well, but it was dropped in most countries at the start of the generation. So for those of you...

  • News Ni no Kuni II's Season Pass DLC Is Nowhere to Be Seen Four Months After Release

    Radio silence from all involved

    It has been four months since Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom released, and for most, the milestone means very little. A chance to reflect on what are most likely positive memories of a lovely JRPG experience, sure, but with the year's biggest hitters on the horizon, a look to the past may not be what most of you had...

  • News Another Digimon RPG Is Heading to PS4

    Digimon are the champions

    Hooray for Digimon and our childhood nostalgia! Although the PlayStation 4's actually had its fair share of Digimon games thus far, we won't say no to another one, especially after the success of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth and its sequel. Recently revealed in the latest issue of Japanese magazine...

  • News Uncharted's Laura Bailey Joins Spider-Man Cast as Mary Jane

    Almost obligatory at this stage

    It wouldn’t be a PlayStation exclusive without Laura Bailey, would it? Insomniac Games has announced that the veteran voice actress has joined the cast of Spider-Man as Mary Jane Watson; she’s also voiced Nadine in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, Fetch in inFAMOUS: Second Son and...

  • News Spider-Man PS4's Soundtrack Will Be Even Sweeter on Vinyl

    Pre-orders open now

    Okay, so Spider-Man’s soundtrack is probably going to sound great on your iPhone as well, but audiophiles rely on vinyl to enrich all their music with mystical “warmness”, so we’ll leave our headline intact. Regardless of whether that previous sentence triggers you or not, we can probably all agree that John Paesano's...

  • Review Earthfall (PS4)

    Better left dead

    The Left 4 Dead franchise was one of the defining reasons for the rise in popularity of co-operative multiplayer shooters during the previous generation, and looking back on things, it’s kind of crazy to think that neither instalment ever made its way onto the PlayStation 3. However, the genre has taken a bit of backseat in recent...

  • Review Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion (PS4)

    A pirate's life for me

    Adventure Time has been a juggernaut series for Cartoon Network since debuting way back in 2010. Its 10-season run is about to come to an end, and over this span the escapades of Finn the Human and Jake the Dog have spawned six video game entries covering a wide variety of genres. The latest entry, Adventure Time: Pirates of...

  • Review Mugsters (PS4)

    Mug shot

    Our time with Mugsters has been short, it has been simple, and it has been sweet. Mugsters is the newest game from the publisher behind Overcooked, The Escapists 2, Yooka-Laylee, and most recently Yoku’s Island Express. Knowing all that, Mugsters has some big shoes to fill. Can it keep up with the endless wonder of Yooka-Laylee? Can...

  • Soapbox Five Years On, Warframe Is Something Special

    Lloyd is loving Warframe

    2013 was a simpler time. The Last of Us had just blown people’s socks off on the PlayStation 3, people were anticipating The Order: 1886, and the PlayStation 4 was new. In among such launch classics as Call of Duty: Ghosts and Knack, a free-to-play title called Warframe launched. Warframe, in it’s launch state, was...

  • Review Tempest 4000 (PS4)

    What's past is prologue

    Back when Atari’s attorneys rocked up on Jeff Minter’s farm and issued one of his prize llamas with a cease and desist letter, it seemed unlikely that Tempest 4000 would ever release on consoles. The eccentric industry veteran had planned on porting the PS Vita’s agonisingly underappreciated TxK to the PlayStation 4,...

  • News Uncharted Fan Film Sparks Digital Series Discussions

    Something further could happen

    Nathan Fillion’s turn as Naughty Dog’s wise-cracking rogue Nathan Drake has set tongues wagging right throughout the industry, and after amassing almost two million views in just 24 hours, there’s understandably some discussions taking place about what this means moving forwards. According to director Allan...

  • News Hitman's Summer Pack Makes Marrakesh Available for Free on PS4

    Download it now

    Have you been enjoying the hot weather? We here at Push Square Towers have been slowly melting for most of the summer, but IO Interactive wants to turn up the heat. The studio has announced the Hitman Summer Pack, which essentially gives you access to the game's third level, Marrakesh, for free. Also included is the ICA Training...

  • Review Mothergunship (PS4)

    Gun game

    Mothergunship feels like it was created in a ‘Random Video Game Generator’. Procedurally generated levels? Yes. First-person shooter? Yes. Bullet-hell shooter? Somehow, also yes. Against all odds, however, it works. Telling the story of an unnamed soldier (that’s you), you’re thrown into a battle against aliens attacking the Earth;...

  • News Nathan Fillion Plays the Role He Was Born to in Uncharted Fan Movie

    Watch the full thing now

    Sony’s clearly never going to get the long-rumoured Uncharted movie off the ground, so leave it to Canadian director Allan Ungar to stick a 15-minute fan film online. Clearly a plea from the Gridlocked director to get given the full project, this is a slick clip that sticks closely to the blueprints of Naughty Dog’s...

  • News Germany Bans Pre-Orders for Games that Don't Have a Set Release Date

    A good thing?

    This is a pretty interesting story. Over in Germany, products that don't have a set release date -- including video games -- are no longer allowed to be pre-ordered. This means that, for example, you can't go ahead and pre-order something like The Last of Us: Part II, since it has a vague "coming soon" release date attached. The...

  • News UK Sales Charts: Crash Bandicoot Fends Off New Releases to Remain Number One

    N. Sane

    The latest UK all formats chart is in, and Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy runs away with another top result thanks to its multiplatform releases last month. It also bests a couple of new entries, with LEGO The Incredibles and the Switch exclusive Octopath Traveler having to settle for second and third respectively. God of War once again...

  • News Sonic Mania Plus Promo Apes Old SEGA Advert

    A whole lot more for less

    Sonic Mania Plus is out tomorrow, bringing the original game back to store shelves with a raft of extra content, such as long lost characters, Mighty and Ray. The wonderfully retro platformer leans heavily into 90s nostalgia, and the above new commercial for the game...

  • Deals Save Big on PS Plus Subs in the UK

    Half-price on 15 month memberships

    Amazon Prime Day 2018 has arrived amid much marketing melodrama, and you can learn about cheap PS4 Pro deals through the link. Perhaps the best offer, however, pertains to PlayStation Plus, where in the UK you can snag a 15 month membership for just £34.99. Remember you will need
