News MLB 15 The Show Targets Fourth Base on PS4, PS3, and Vita
Come out swinging
It's not getting as much attention as The Order: 1886 or Bloodborne, but MLB 15 The Show is unlikely to be anything but a homerun for Sony San Diego. The latest entry in the seminal sporting series will round out a sensational few months for the Japanese manufacturer, and in order to build some excitement, community manager Ramone...
Feature What Are February 2015's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
Quick look
Between the weather warnings and the bad state of your post-Christmas bank balance, there's not often a lot to look forward to in February. Fortunately, the positive effects of Sony's premium subscription service PlayStation Plus can be felt all year round, which means that a fresh selection of free software will be heading your way from...
News Battlefield Hardline Arrests an Open Beta on PS4 and PS3 Sooner Than You Think
Locked and loaded
Battlefield Hardline's delayed launch is now fast approaching, and somewhat unsurprisingly, publisher EA has announced that there will be an open beta on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Shooter enthusiasts should be happy to know that the download will be available sooner than you may have thought, too, as it'll be catching...
News Anime Fighter Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is Punching West on Vita and PS3
Manga mayhem
The Vita is no stranger to Japanese games, much to the delight of many anime and manga enthusiasts. Adding to the now bulging library, SEGA has announced that 2-D brawler Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax is coming West. It's a colourful and fast fighter that features characters from a Japanese publication of the same name, and as such,...
Rumour Apotheon, Transistor Free for PS4 in February PlayStation Plus Update
Yakuza 4, Thief, and more on offer
PlayStation Plus has been on a bit of a roll for a while now, and Sony's clearly keen on maintaining momentum. A leak on one of the platform holder's European blogs has revealed that stylish action role-playing game Apotheon will be free for subscribers on the PlayStation 4 in February, where it'll be joined by...
News You're Not Sick of LEGO Games, Are You?
Jurassic World, Marvel's Avengers, and more on the way
While the likes of Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed frequently get lambasted for being annualised, Warner Bros seems to have gotten away with milking LEGO like a particularly profitable cash cow. Last year saw the release of four fresh toy-based adaptations, and we'll be getting a further three...
News Dragon's Dogma Online Sure Looks Spectacular on PS4, PS3
Sick as a dogma
The phrase free-to-play may have prompted you to turn your nose up at Dragon's Dogma Online, but the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 role-playing game looks every inch the co-operative series successor that you've been waiting for. In this brand new trailer, you'll see groups of four warriors taking on increasingly large...
News Set Sail with Four Brand New One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Character Trailers
A new challenger
Ah, Warriors games. Thanks to their often massive character rosters, there are plenty of excuses to swamp fans in videos and screenshots, and we've got four such trailers for you today. Showcasing the movesets of returning fighters Smoker, Buggy, and Mihawk, along with newcomer Tashigi, there's plenty of footage to heighten those...
News Sony Tempting Fate with Friday 13th New York Event
Will announce new PlayStation initiative
PlayStation MVPs are essentially Sony super fans who get invited to various internal events as a reward for being top-tier consumers. They're also occasionally privy to information that they're not supposed to publicly share – like this email that popped up on NeoGAF earlier this evening. We suspect that a...
News Dragon Age: Inquisition Marches Ahead as BioWare's Most Successful Ever Launch
Worth a few sovereigns
Dragon Age: Inquisition was a real return to form for developer BioWare, and it didn't just impress us, as you lot voted it your 2014 Game of the Year. As such, we all wished the best for the engrossing role-playing game, and it seems as though its success is starting to show. Publisher EA's latest financial report states...
News PS4 and PS3 Console Exclusive Dragon's Dogma Online Looks Fantastic in New Famitsu Scans
Getting hot in here
This week's Famitsu magazine seems to have blown open the recently announced Dragon's Dogma Online, and we've got a few scans from the publication to prove it. Obviously there's not too much that you can learn from the images unless you can read Japanese, but we reckon that the lovely pictures make them worth studying. Indeed,...
News Spotify Streams to PS4, PS3 in Partnership with PlayStation Music
Music Unlimited out on its ear
Fans of every artist except Taylor Swift will be able to treat their ears to some premium audio streaming on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 this year, as Sony has teamed up with Spotify to launch a new PlayStation Music service. This will deploy in 41 markets around the world soon, and will bring with it all 30...
Store Update 28th January 2015 (Europe)
The strange life
There's plenty to look forward to on the European PlayStation Store this week, with rotting flesh and troubled teenagers the headline arrivals. That's right, both Dying Light and Life Is Strange will be available to download this week, with Grim Fandango Remastered, Baboon, and
Talking Point Are Bigger Open Worlds Really Better?
Worlds apart
"Our game's open world is so groundbreakingly big that it'll take you an hour to travel from one side of it to the other." Anyone that's followed the industry closely will have heard the prior quote before, whether it's paraded positively by a public relations person during a presentation, or typed out on an official channel like the...
News You'll Be Able to Pay to Reanimate Yourself in Resident Evil: Revelations 2
Dead rising
Who doesn't love a good microtransaction? Capcom caused the web to pull out their pitchforks this week by announcing that Resident Evil: Revelations 2 will feature premium Life Crystals, which you'll be able to use to reanimate yourself should you die in the forthcoming survival horror's Raid Mode. We can't bear the tension. To be fair,...
Store Update 27th January 2015 (North America)
Manny, oh man
This week's North American PlayStation Store update is all about the addition of two new titles: Dying Light and Grim Fandango Remastered. The heavy hitters have some company in Life Is Strange (out on Friday) and the verbose Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation – but we suspect that it's the aforementioned that will...
News The Last of Us Movie Will Make Some 'Big Changes' to the Original Story
As you'd expect
Trying to cram a title that can take almost 20 hours to complete into a two hour movie can't be easy, but The Last of Us' big screen adaptation sounds like it's coming along quite nicely, according to the game's director and ever-present interviewee, Neil Druckmann. Speaking to Game Informer, Druckmann reveals that he's "just...
News Reptile Roughhouses His Way into Mortal Kombat X
Sssplendid
Although the illustrious Ed Boon previously teased that new fighters for Mortal Kombat X would be revealed on 29th January, it seems that NetherRealm Studios couldn't wait, as an exclusive IGN video has confirmed that Reptile will be joining the roster. After a hilarious, short spat between Kung Lao and his scaly adversary, we get a look...
Mmm, zesty
Although they've got a sizeable and loyal fan base here in the West, the Tales games have never been as popular as they are in their native Japan. That trend doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon, either, as the latest instalment in the franchise, Tales of Zestiria, has sold over 400,000 copies in its homeland since it launched. It's...
News Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Update Comes with a Free Bug
Can we have a skag instead?
This week marks the launch of the new Borderlands: The Pre Sequel DLC, Lady Hammerlock the Baroness, allowing you to play as this icy lady similar to the previously released Handsome Jack. In order to accommodate the latest arrival, an update is required which has been found to have a catch. After downloading, when...
News Dragon's Dogma Online Breathes Free-to-Play Fire onto PS4, PS3
Only in Japan, though
As has been rumoured since dinosaurs ruled the world, Dragon's Dogma Online is in production at publisher Capcom. The title, which emerged courtesy of a trademark filing late last year, was revealed in the latest issue of famous Japanese publication Famitsu, and is a free-to-play fantasy role-playing game for the PlayStation 4...
News PS4 and PS3 Brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse Will Have 47 Playable Characters
Rock the dragon
Dragon Ball is stuffed full of brilliantly designed and stupidly powerful heroes and villains, so it's always a bit of a disappointment when a licensed release comes up short on the character roster side of things. Fortunately, Dragon Ball Xenoverse's selection doesn't sound too bad. The game's Amazon Japan listing states that it...
News Can You Relate to Any of These PlayStation Memories?
Gaming gold
If you're reading this, then there's a good chance that you grew up making PlayStation memories. The problem with these, though, is that they can't easily be shared. Fortunately, Sony has teamed up with Studio Output and Found Studio to produce an animated video based upon Tweets posted by gamers all around the globe – including one...
News UK Sales Charts: Saints Row Misses Out on Four More Years
Voted out
Saints Row IV: Re-Elected & Gat Out of Hell missed out on the presidency spot in this week's UK sales charts, clawing its way into fourth position overall. Grand Theft Auto V was instead sworn into the White House, completing a third term at the summit of the British best sellers list, while Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and FIFA 15...
Push Rewind Dying Light Release Dates, Resident Evil PS4, Saints Row IV, and More
Deep breath time
If the industry's been asleep for a few weeks, then it's finally been shaken from its slumber. This was a huge week in the PlayStation Nation, with big games like Saints Row IV: Re-Elected and Resident Evil hitting the PlayStation Store, as well as huge news regarding Dying Light and PlayStation Plus consuming our virtual column...
Guide How to Survive the Spencer Mansion in Resident Evil HD Remaster on PS4, PS3
Tips, tactics, endings, and advice
If you joined Capcom's survival horror series with its action packed fourth instalment, then you're in for a rude awakening in the recently released Resident Evil HD Remaster. While titles like Outlast and Alien Isolation have plotted a return to the more classical type of video game terror, they're still...
Store Preview Dying Light, Grim Fandango, and Life Is Strange
Spoiled for choice
We did put our series of PlayStation Store previews on hiatus over Christmas, but as with all of the other columns across the site, we're bringing it back with a vengeance. Remember, this is the latest information as shared by the PlayStation Blogcast, which means that the content is subject to change, and primarily applies to the...
News Prepare Yourselves for 30 Hours of Persona Goodness
Ready teddie
If we ran a poll right now asking you to vote for your most anticipated game, we'd hazard that Persona 5 would finish somewhere near to the top. Atlus' forthcoming PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 role-playing release has been the source of strong excitement for some time now, but we still don't actually know an enormous amount about it...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 53
Strap it on
The weeks seem to come and go quicker and quicker, but at least there's your regular dose of WAYP to look forward to on the weekend. Regular readers should already know the drill: this is your forum to talk about all of the games that you'll be playing over the coming days. We've got to be honest, writing these introductions gets harder...
News New Challengers Will Mutilate Mortal Kombat X Next Week
Finish the marketing campaign
For the record: when we suggested that Mortal Kombat X was silly in a controversial article last week, we meant it in the best possible way – everyone here at Push Square Towers adores the zaniness of NetherRealm Studios' premier punch up. Hence, we're excited to learn which new kombatants will be joining the chaos...
News February's PlayStation Plus Freebies Will Be Announced Next Week
Sony teases 'good selection'
It's that time of the month where we all begin building hopelessly unrealistic expectations for the next PlayStation Plus update – all so that we can vent our disgust when the actual offering doesn't come close to matching our pipedreams. Seriously, though, European PlayStation Blog manager Fred Dutton has revealed on...
News PS4, PS3, and Vita Indies Discounted in North American PlayStation Store Flash Sale
Stop press
Don't use your 10 per cent off voucher just yet, as Sony has launched a PlayStation Store Flash Sale in North America to coincide with the promotion. This is live now, and will run until 09:00AM PST on 26th January, so if you pair it with the aforementioned apology offer, you could get some serious bang for your buck this weekend. Who...
News These Dragon Ball Xenoverse Combo Videos Just Get Better and Better
Back for more
Much of Dragon Ball's identity comes from its lightning fast battles, in which dreadfully powerful individuals smack the absolute stuffing out of each other in the most stylish way that you can imagine, and upcoming brawler Dragon Ball Xenoverse seems to be capturing that identity very well. It's only a short video, but the game's...
News Saints Row Parodies Top Gear and the Result Is Just as Stupid as You'd Expect
Gun it
Just when you thought that Saints Row couldn't get any more unpredictable, it goes and parodies Top Gear, complete with Jeremy Clarkson-like commentary and a faceless racer known as the Stag. The four minute live action video ties into the recently released Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell expansion, as the, er, Stag takes the Armchair-A-Geddon...
Guide How to Use Your 10 Per Cent Off PSN Voucher on PS4, PS3, and PlayStation Vita
Redeem your free PlayStation Store discount right now
It seems a bit strange to be getting excited over a 10 per cent discount weekend, but this is the first time that Sony's ever run anything like this on the PlayStation Store, and we'd hazard that if it's a success, it may do another one in the future – hopefully without any further PlayStation...
Rumour Could Call of Duty: World at War II Be Treyarch's Next Title?
Suit up, soldier
The rumour mill's in overdrive right now, but our bullturd detector reckons that this is just about on the right side of plausible – until proven otherwise, anyway. Earlier in the week, an image appeared on the web hinting that Call of Duty: World at War II would be revealed on 4th May. While it looked professional enough, it's...
Poll What Will You Be Spending Your 10 Per Cent PSN Discount On?
Decisions, decisions
When you really stop and think about it, Sony's "apology" for the PlayStation Network outage over Christmas is a bit of a marketing masterstroke. While the company gets to look like it's doing right by its consumers, we'd be shocked if it didn't see an enormous spike in sales when the offer goes into effect from 09:00AM local...
News PS4, PS3, and Vita Titles Reduced in European PlayStation Store Sale
Combo breaker
Sony's big January sale may have expired on the European PlayStation Store, but that's not stopping the manufacturer from following up with a bumper sale focusing on 2K Games' catalogue and various other digital downloads. For starters, you'll be able to acquire a bunch of the aforementioned publisher's wares at up to 80 per cent off,...
News Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's Release Date Is Edging Ever Closer
Boxed in
Seeing as Hideo Kojima's big Christmas announcement turned out to be a chicken cap rather than a release date, we're still none the wiser regarding Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's hotly anticipated PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 deploy date. Fortunately, developer Kojima Productions has hinted as part of its weekly webcast that
News Sorry, You Can't Use Your 10 Per Cent PSN Discount on Pre-Orders
Think again
Sony frequently acts like a headless chicken, and this is just another example of miscommunication making the company look like it hasn't got a clue. The firm announced its 10 per cent PlayStation Network discount earlier in the week, revealing that it would not be compatible with PlayStation Plus subscriptions, Music Unlimited...
Store Update 21st January 2015 (Europe)
Winged and wonderful
We may be looking at the content pipeline for a different continent, but the highlights in this week's European PlayStation Store update are identical to those in yesterday's North American refresh. That means that Citizens of Earth, Resident Evil, and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell are all vying for your attention. The question...
News Dragon Ball Xenoverse's DLC Plan Detailed, Plus More New Screenshots Than You Can Count
What does the scouter say?
When you're excited for a certain upcoming game, you usually like nothing better than to feast your eyes upon every scrap of media that the publisher flings out onto the Internet – and if you're hyped for Dragon Ball Xenoverse, then we reckon that you're probably going to have a heart attack when you see how many...
News Media Streaming App Plex Now Broadcasts onto American PS4s, PS3s
Perplexing
Media streaming service Plex is now broadcasting onto PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 consoles throughout America. The popular app has been available in Europe for a little while, but is only now making its way across the pond. Indeed, those of you stationed in North America, Canada, and Latin America will now be able to use the service...
News Nu-Metal Band Korn Would Have Been All Over This Cancelled Saints Row Game
Freak on a leash
Saints Row is no stranger to cancelled games, as regular readers may recall the PlayStation Move-based brawler that was revealed recently. However, this footage from Saints Row: Money Shot is a first for us, as it shows a free-to-play arcade game that was once in production for the PlayStation 3 – an
Store Update 20th January 2015 (North America)
Citizens of Spencer Mansion
If the past couple of weeks have been a little light on the PlayStation Store, then today's North American update is a concrete block in comparison. In addition to smaller gems like Splice and Citizens of Earth, it's also packing heavy hitters like Resident Evil and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell. Let's-a-go! PS4 Games:...
Splice 'n' dice
Splice is an intriguingly intricate puzzle game from Cipher Prime Studios. Originally released in 2012 for PC and mobile platforms, this version marks the title's debut on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, with a Vita release possible somewhere down the line. The game tasks you with re-arranging cells – which look like really...
Out This Week Resident Evil, Saints Row, and Citizens of Earth
Once bitten, twice shy
There's usually a standout for Pick of the Week, but we're really struggling to choose a favourite this time. Sure, you could make the argument that Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is little more than a re-release, but it comes with Gat Out of Hell, which is brand new. On the flipside, Resident Evil is nothing but a lowly port, too...
News Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi Brings Over-The-Top Samurai Action to PS4
In Japan at least
The Sengoku Basara series is returning to the fray this Summer, as its newest instalment slashes onto the PS4 and PS3. Named Sengoku Basara 4: Sumeragi, the update will feature forty playable characters, and the PS4 version will run in 60 frames-per-second at 1080p — which sounds rather glorious. For anyone who's out of the...
News Apologetic PlayStation Plus Extensions Being Rolled Out Now
Five free days of service
If you were one of the millions of people impacted by the PlayStation Network outage over Christmas, then you'll no doubt be wondering where your compensation has got to. Fortunately, platform holder Sony has announced that it's started rolling out five day PlayStation Plus extensions to all members now. You'll only be...

The offer will open at 09:00AM local time on 23rd...
The times are changing
Bandai Namco recently sent out its North American team to interview Dragon Ball Xenoverse's developers at Japan's Jump Festa 2015, and the result is the rather insightful video that we've embedded. Sporting a spot of new in-game footage and some fresh story details, it's well worth a watch if you're interested in the upcoming...
News The Combos You Can Pull Off in Dragon Ball Xenoverse Look Absolutely Devastating
And stay down
It's only a short trailer, but Dragon Ball Xenoverse's latest shows off the game's combo potential. From Super Saiyan 3 Goku to Nappa, linking up your attacks looks fantastic, and it's probably great for whacking whole chunks out of your enemy's health bar. Our favourite part has to be when Goku smacks Kid Buu right in the face, which...
News What Actually Comes with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin on PS4, PS3?
Deadly confused
While Street Fighter IV may hold the championship belt for confusing re-releases, the upcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 update Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin seems like a strong contender. If your head is spinning pondering whether you should upgrade, however, don't worry, as we have you covered in a handy guide...
News Don't Grenade Yourself to Progress in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
The ban hammer awaits
We're quite prone to the odd misplaced grenade in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but apparently there are worse butter fingers than us. Unfortunately, those with slippy digits are using this 'ailment' to their advantage, committing suicide over and over again in order to get ranked with lower level players. The idea is that...
News UK Sales Charts: Grand Theft Auto V Sits Pretty at Summit
Déjà vu
Zzzzz. Forget about the Green Day song Wake Me Up When September Ends, we're writing a new version, and it's called Wake Me Up When the UK Sales Charts Change. There are no surprises in this week's update, with Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 15, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare all finishing at the top. Ubisoft trio Far Cry 4, The Crew, and...
Push Rewind Dying Light Delays, PSN Sales, and The Order: 1886
Wakey wakey
Hello there, Push Rewind – fancy seeing you here. Yes, it's been a little while since we've run one of these, primarily because there wasn't much going on over Christmas – but also because we had to adapt the logo ever so slightly to reflect the brand new branding. There's not an enormous amount to recap this week, so we'll keep...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 52
Running late
Wow! It's been a breakneck, busy, bananas kind of week behind-the-scenes here at Push Square Towers, so apologies if our usual programming schedule has been a bit all over the place. The exciting news is that Monday's bureaucracy paved the way for Friday's exuberance, so this author is sitting here with a renewed sense of enthusiasm...
News Destiny and Minecraft Topped 2014's PSN Sales Charts
Act surprised
Another day, another chance to find out 2014 sales data. This time it's quite interesting, though, as Sony has shared lists of the best selling titles on the PlayStation Network. In North America, Destiny blasted the competition and landed in first place on PS4, while in Europe, Minecraft dug its way to victory on every single console...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell's Launch Trailer Is Even More Ridiculous Than We Imagined
Fly Johnny, fly
Saints Row IV was an utterly ridiculous experience, and developer Volition seems keen to carry that tone through the series' upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell. Of course, we knew that already, but the standalone DLC's launch trailer still managed to surprise us. The video's full of dumb, crass humour and stupid selling points, but...
News If Yakuza Zero Doesn't Come West, We'll Cry Manly Tears
Kamurocho calling
If you're a regular Push Square reader, then you'll know that we're massive fans of the Yakuza franchise. A drama-filled series that plays a lot like an action RPG, the games explore stories that are entwined in the underbelly of one of Japan's seediest fictional districts. Yakuza Zero is the latest instalment, and after watching...
News Ubisoft Developer Reckons Watch Dogs Has "a Lot of Room for Improvement"
Howling at the moon
When Watch Dogs released last year, we thought that it was a pretty solid sandbox romp, but like many games that had come before it, there was enough to improve upon to make us think that an inevitable sequel would end up being the real highlight. Fortunately, creative director Jonathan Morin agrees with us. In an interview with...
News December NPD: Sony Looking to Momentous 2015 as PS4 Sits in Second Place
Still best selling box of 2014
There was no major upset in the December NPD report, as the PlayStation 4 slumped to its second defeat of the calendar year. Sony's system was on top for the first ten months of 2014, but lost out to Microsoft's major Xbox One price promotions in November - and that continued through December, too. Despite this, its...
News DriveClub Was the UK's Best Selling Exclusive of 2014
Pulling ahead
It may come as a shock to many, but DriveClub, the PlayStation 4 exclusive racer that was plagued by launch issues, was the UK's best selling exclusive game of 2014. The full list, which comes from MCV, takes console bundles into account, but doesn't follow digital sales, so we can probably assume that the gorgeous drive-'em-up sold by...
News Try Not to Laugh at This Mortal Kombat X Trailer
Mindless violence
Mortal Kombat has always been dumber than a 90s Jim Carrey movie, but the series did go through a period where it took itself a teensy bit too seriously. Fortunately, there's no danger of that occurring in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel Mortal Kombat X, as this absolutely hilarious trailer evidences. In it,...
News You Lot Have Slain Over 2.5 Million Dragons in Dragon Age: Inquisition
Swooping isn't that bad
Dragons are some of the most powerful enemies that you can attempt to slaughter in Dragon Age: Inquisition, but that hasn't stopped players from destroying over 2.5 million of them. The winged beasts are rare in Thedas, with only a handful of fully grown reptiles to find throughout the game, so the fact that so many have...
News Here's a Better Look at Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's Newest Fighter
Isn't it past your bedtime?
Described in her very own trailer as a "super secret fighter chick", Honoka is 18-years-old and likes wearing a single glove. In all seriousness, though, she looks like a pretty good addition to the cast, and she sports some powerful-looking combos in the video that we've embedded. Revealed in yesterday's Famitsu, the...
Store Update 14th January 2014 (Europe)
Dead kings
Parts of the UK are snowed in today, so it's a good job that you don't need to go outside to shop at the PlayStation Store. To be fair, this week's shelf refresh doesn't have a whole lot to shout about, with Joe Danger 2: The Movie and add-on packs for Assassin's Creed Unity and Far Cry 4 being the only real highlights. Do you see...
Store Update 13th January 2015 (North America)
Sweet 'n' tasty
We're now well into January, but the PlayStation Store is yet to wake from its post-Christmas slumber. That's ok, though, because this week is all about quality over quantity – and with Joe Danger 2: The Movie, Fat Princess: Piece of Cake, and, er, Brandish: The Dark Revenant in the pipeline, who could possibly argue? Here's what...
Back for more
If the January PlayStation Store sale hasn't been enough to satiate your lust for savings, then these current 20th Anniversary deals might just claw away the last few coins from your wallet. Covering PS4, PS3, Vita, and even PSP games, the North American sale offers discounts on a large number of titles, and if you're a PlayStation...
News Stop the Press, PSN Will Be Undergoing Maintenance This Week
Gasp
Believe it or not, the PlayStation Network is undergoing maintenance later this week, and as per usual, it seems to be of the standard sort. "During this time, we will deploy a series of back-end improvements to the network," Sony says. The service will be impacted on 15th January, and the maintenance will last four hours, from 17:00PM GMT to...
News You Need to Complete Quick-Time Events in Yakuza Zero to Answer Telephones
New video is NSFW
It's not often that we watch a 19-minute trailer for a game and are left gob-smacked by a mere 60 seconds of it, but that's what's happened with Yakuza Zero's latest video. As you've probably guessed from the headline, series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu will have to complete a quick-time event to properly answer a telephone, and...
News Hats Off to Mortal Kombat X's Latest Kombatant, Kung Lao
Bowled over
Mortal Kombat's resident hat model will be switching out his smooth headgear for something a little more rugged in the forthcoming Mortal Kombat X. Ed Boon, the gravel voiced veteran behind the franchise, has tweeted out a high-res image of Kung Lao from the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel, and he's sporting a spiky sombrero as...
News Far Cry 4's Permadeath DLC Escapes onto PS4 and PS3 Right Now
Prison break
Far Cry 4's Escape from Durgesh Prison downloable content is available to download right now, Ubisoft has announced.

Oh, and you'll be able to do so both in solo and co-op...
News Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's New Diva Is Dressed Exactly as You'd Expect
Saved by the bell
We're guessing that it was a late Friday afternoon when Team Ninja decided upon Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's new character. "Before we head home, guys, we just need to come up with a bonus brawler to make our forthcoming PlayStation 4 re-release look like real value," one executive likely said, sitting around a large table...
News Rock Band Reboots with Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys DLC This Week
R U Sure?
Dust off those putrid plastic instruments: Rock Band is back. We're not referring to a sequel, of course – not yet, anyway – but brand new DLC for the series, which brings an end to an incredible 21 month hiatus. Harmonix famously stopped supporting Rock Band 3 and Rock Band Blitz almost two years ago, but, like a rockstar that's run...
