Spoilers: MotorStorm RC is amazing. It’s not often those of us in Europe get special treatment, but when it comes to Evolution Studios’ new cross-platform RC racer we’ve been treated like Kings.

Micro-transaction

Sony left Nintendo sputtering in the dust when it announced the price points of first party download-only PlayStation Network titles for PS Vita last week.

Hopes killed

Stand down, zombie-haters: All Zombies Must Die doesn't support PlayStation Move. Doublesix confirmed to Push Square that the top-down shooter has no motion control support, despite last week's PlayStation Store update saying different. As you were.
