Once again, we’ve managed to coax several Push Square team members into sharing their plans for the weekend, but we want to know what’s filling your itinerary, too. Feel free to submit your...

The hunt for holocubes will continue on the PlayStation Network later this year, as Ubisoft has announced a Bionic Commando Rearmed-esque remake of the Amiga classic Flashback for Sony’s digital storefront.

Setting the scene

While it’s difficult to topple the trembling sense of anticipation that comes when you greedily tug at the cellophane concealing a brand new piece of hardware, watching said system’s startup screen for the very first time gives the momentous occasion a run for its money. Ever since the very first PlayStation took the world by...

Writing on the title’s official Twitter page, the studio declared that the PlayStation 3 and Vita port is currently in submission with the platform holder – and the team...

Must be cold

Video game characters are renowned for their impractical dress sense, but we reckon that Dragon's Crown’s enchanted Sorceress class takes things to the next level. If we were venturing through grotty catacombs, we’d very much want to keep ourselves covered up – but the title’s magical character type seems content with letting it...

How low can you go?

Those fine folks at Criterion rarely get a break, do they? The critically acclaimed Guildford-based studio’s only just wrapped up the excellent Need for Speed: Most Wanted, and now it’s apparently already working on a reboot of 2003's Need for Speed: Underground. There’s no rest for the wicked it seems. In truth, the...

Bearing gifts

Better start saving up that gald, because Tales of Xillia has two solid western release dates and a limited collector's edition up for pre-order. And if that wasn't enough, Namco Bandai has granted us a look at a new trailer that shows off footage that takes place outside of battles for a change. Fans will be delighted to know that...

PS4Daily is reporting that developers will have access to 7GB of the PlayStation 4’s total 8GB GDDR5 RAM for games, with the remaining 1GB being reserved...

Head-on collision

A console launch wouldn’t be complete without a racer to highlight the hardware’s technical strides. DriveClub, a new team-based vehicular experiment from MotorStorm developer Evolution Studios, represents the PlayStation 4’s first foray into the high-octane arena of next generation motorsport. But while the social...

Round the bend

Llamasoft, the legendary British developer behind Atari Jaguar classic Tempest 2000, is working on a reboot of the futuristic shooter for the PlayStation Vita named TxK. Designer Jeff Minter – who’s probably best known for the Gridrunner games – confirmed the news on the developer’s official blog, stating that the studio is

As you were, then

Despite teasing a 2013 release for the PlayStation 4 in the UK this morning, ASDA has told us that it’s merely predicting when the console will release. “We have had no confirmation from Sony,” a spokesperson said. “This is merely an estimation, and we look forward to hearing a confirmed release date soon.” In a press...

Dig out your eyeliner in preparation

Ubisoft’s delightful dayglo spin-off Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is not an April Fools’ Day joke – it’s a real product coming to the PlayStation Network on 1st May.

Ching, ching

UK retailer ASDA has hopped aboard the PlayStation 4 bandwagon, announcing that it is the first British supermarket to accept pre-orders for Sony’s impending system. Specialist franchise GAME is also taking deposits on the machine, but the likes of Tesco and Sainsbury’s are still twiddling their thumbs worrying about horse meat...

Are you afraid of the dark?

When was the last time that you watched a gameplay reveal where the character died?

There may have actually been more...

Drinkbox Studios’ tasty Metroidvania-inspired cross-buy adventure Guacamelee! is the hottest item on the European PlayStation Store’s menu this week, serving up a fusion of fiery platforming and meaty combat. It’s joined by augmented reality putter Table Mini Golf for the Vita and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge for the PS3...

Heaven or Helghast

For a franchise once dubbed a ‘Halo killer’, Guerrilla Games’ solid-if-unspectacular Killzone series has frequently fallen short of its lofty ambitions. It’s unfortunate, because the Dutch developer has always possessed the ingredients to make a smash hit, but there’s always been a flaw in the recipe; a misstep mostly...

Developing for the system is a dream come true

Sony’s first-party studios have been eager to laud the platform holder’s strategy with the PlayStation 4 over the past couple of days, but we haven’t heard much from third-parties just yet. Fortunately, Canadian outfit Ubisoft Montreal has jumped aboard the praise train, describing the next...
