UK Sales Charts Call of Duty: Black Ops III Breaches the Top Spot
Back in black
Star Wars Battlefront, FIFA 16, and Fallout 4 may have fought valiantly – but Call of Duty: Black Ops III wasn't going to be down for long, was it? Activision's evergreen shooter has reclaimed its place atop the UK sales charts, with all of the above titles making up the Top Five alongside Minecraft: Story Mode. Just
Push Rewind Final Fantasy VII Insanity, Yakuza News, and November NPD
11 more sleeps
After the madness of PlayStation Experience last week, this author was looking forward to a much quieter shift, and fortunately that's exactly what he got. Still, Square Enix did temporarily attempt to upset the apple cart by revealing that its Final Fantasy VII Remake would be episodic – though not quite in the way that you...
News Yakuza: Kiwami Lands an Extreme Eight Minute Trailer
Gangster's paradise
It's been an amazing week for the underrated Yakuza series, with Yakuza 5 launching on the PlayStation 3, Yakuza Zero being announced for Western release, Yakuza 6 landing its first trailer… And now Yakuza: Kiwami, the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 remake of Yakuza, scoring an eight minute story trailer.

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 97
Deck the fools
Apparently it's already 12th December, which means that many of you are probably just realising that you have Christmas gifts to buy and decorations to assemble. Gulp. There's still time to get all of that sorted, though, so we recommend shirking your responsibilities and sitting pretty with your PlayStation platform of choice...
News November 2015 NPD: PS4 Smashes Xbox One in Important Holiday Month
Record breaking sales for Sony's box
It looks like the PlayStation 4's narrow loss in October's NPD report was just a blip, as the system has responded with some record breaking sales in November. According to the Japanese giant, its box was preferred to the Xbox One during the busy Thanksgiving period in the United States, with speculation...
Store Update 8th December 2015 (North America)
Late, late, late
Alright, excuses time. So, the North American PlayStation Store update was not only posted late this week, but it also happened to go live the same time this author booted up Yakuza 5 – and if you'd been waiting, like, three years to play the brawler, then you'd skip on the already delayed software selection, too. Better late than...
Hands On Destiny's Sparrow Racing Is Fun for About an Hour
The Bungie jump effect
When Sparrow racing was announced at Sony's PlayStation Experience 2015 press conference, we won't deny that we were hyped. Ever since climbing aboard our Sparrow for the first time in Destiny, we've always wished for some sort of racing system – if only to see how it would work out. As it happens, the Sparrow Racing...
Japanese Sales Charts PS4 Numbers Jump as the Holidays Draw Near
Let it snow
The PlayStation 4 saw a relatively strong sales surge last week in Japan, as numbers jumped from 26,598 to 35,782. An increase of around 10,000 units, it's no doubt a welcome sight for Sony as we approach the holidays. It's worth mentioning that the Vita also enjoyed a sales boost, racking up a respectable figure of 21,860. Meanwhile,...
Video Top 4 PlayStation Games - November 2015
S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stuff
Sure, the Commonwealth may be laden with Super Mutants and all other sorts of (game breaking) bugs – but this Video Editor happened upon a terminal loaded with Final Cut Pro in a kindly Boston bunker, so it looks like you're getting a Game of the Month clip after all. Top hole, viewers!
News Destiny Patch 2.1.0 Is Jetting onto PS4 Right Now
Zip zip zoom
Guardians rejoice: the day has finally arrived. Destiny's latest patch buffs auto rifles (again), pulse rifles are getting nerfed, and Titan Sunbreaker subclass is being slapped down to Earth - or what's left of it, we suppose. Of course, it's not just about balance changes. Announced at Sony's PlayStation Experience 2015 press...
Store Update 8th December 2015 (Europe)
A surprisingly big one
Lots to see and do on the European PlayStation Store this week, as Sony beats the winter blues with some big new releases. Headlining the digital plaza this week are Final Fantasy VII and Fat Princess Adventures – both released during PlayStation Experience 2015 – but they've been accompanied by the likes of Yakuza 5 (!
News You Can Probably Expect Some Tales of Berseria News Next Week
There are tales to tell
It's been a while since we heard anything substantial about Tales of Berseria, the latest Tales Of game that's currently in development for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

According to Bungie, crossing the finish line allows you to rack up rewards such as new Sparrows, equipment, and shaders. As long as the...
UK Sales Charts Just Cause 3 Blows a Hole in the Top Five
Marvellous Medici
Just Cause 3 tethered a landmine to fourth position in this week's UK sales charts – and pulled them both together. Avalanche Studios' open world adventure appears to have got off to a flying start, but it couldn't topple FIFA 16, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, or Star Wars Battlefront – all three of which remained glued to the...

Well, that was a pretty intensive week.

Because it's been such an action packed week we've decided to do Push Rewind a little...
PSX 2015 Yakuza 0 Confirmed to Be Kicking the Crap Out of Western PS4s
And Yakuza 5 is out on PS3 next week
There were cheers in the Push Square office when Yakuza 0 was confirmed for a Western release at the PlayStation Experience. We made a prediction that the latest instalment in the Japanese franchise would travel overseas, but we were cautious in our belief. As it turns out, we were actually bang on the money -...

Poll Take the Push Square PlayStation Experience 2015 Community Predictions Quiz
Can you beat the PlayStation Experience?
Heck yes, it's that time again.

News Destiny Reloads with PS4 Patch 2.1.0 Next Week
Weapon balancing, new exotics, Titan tweaks, and more

Japanese Sales Charts PS4 Holds Steady Despite Lack of New Software
Sony stays solid
We're not kidding this time around: there really isn't anything to write about when it comes to the most recent Japanese sales charts - at least, not from a PlayStation perspective. Sony's latest console managed to stick around the 25,000-30,000 mark last week, despite a lack of fresh software. Sure, 26,598 isn't a particularly...

Just Cause 3! Rainbow Six: Siege! Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas! We may be dangerously close to Christmas, but the North American PlayStation Store refuses to have a rest. Other noteworthy titles this time include the long-awaited BigFest and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Lots to chew through this time, then. PS4 Games:...
UK Sales Charts Uncharted PS4 Sales Spike by 999 Per Cent
Knack returns to the Top 40
Black Friday week proved so enormous that the UK sales charts were delayed over 24 hours due to a system error at a major retailer. It's not surprising, though, as retail software sales increased by 60 per cent compared to the previous week, with hardware sales jumping by eight per cent year-over-year. Despite this, the...

Thanksgiving week is always a strange one at Push Square Towers.

Girl fight
Eiyuu Senki - The World Conquest started life as an "adult game" for PC, before being cleaned up and ported to the PlayStation 3.

The premise is relatively simple: you control a nameless protagonist, who is...

News October 2015 NPD: PS4's Halo Slips as System Slumps to Second Defeat of the Year
Bruised but not broken
Sony couldn't muster a sixth successive NPD victory in October 2015, as the Xbox One and Halo 5 managed to overcome the PlayStation 4's price drop. In truth, it looks like it was a pretty middling month for home consoles in the United States, with sales barely increasing year-over-year. However, it's worth remembering that...

Sony's marketing partnership with Activision appears to have done the trick, as Call of Duty: Black Ops III sold best on the PlayStation 4 in the UK. A whopping 48 per cent of shoppers picked up the first-person shooter on the Japanese giant's flagship format. In comparison, 43 per cent got it on the...
News Ever Wonder Why the Classic Metal Gear Solid Theme Isn't in the Phantom Pain?
Name that tune
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a phenomenal game – which is just as well, as it could end up being the final entry in the series to benefit from the input of creator Hideo Kojima, who seems to be parting ways with Konami at the end of the year. However, as amazing as the game undoubtedly is, it is missing a vital...
Round Up Push Square's October 2015 Reviews
Not so spooky
October was one heck of a busy month for us here at Push Square. We reviewed an absolutely massive 44 titles across 31 days – which is surely some sort of record. There were big scores aplenty, as well as some big releases - but it wouldn't have been the year's spookiest month without some real horrors to go along with the good...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 92
Back to black
We're right in the thick of the busy Christmas releases period now, with Call of Duty: Black Ops III no doubt consuming plenty of attention this weekend – and Fallout 4 now mere days away. As always, we've invited a gaggle of enthusiastic staffers to share their weekend gaming plans – but we want to know what you're up to, too...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2015
Heroes, sinners, nutters, and hunters
October was a pretty good month for high scoring titles, which made our internal Game of the Month poll a tough one to call. As always, five titles are nominated for our prestigious monthly award, but only four make it into these articles – and from those four, only one can be crowned our Game of the Month...
News Don't Buy Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PS3
Fall of beauty
If you're still yet to be wowed by the latest generation of consoles, then it may be worth seeing how your faithful PlayStation 3 stacks up against the PlayStation 4. Alright, this Call of Duty: Black Ops III comparison actually features the Xbox versions – but it's probably safe to assume that the differences will be more...
Japanese Sales Charts PS4 Seems to Have Found a Bit of Stability at the Top
And we're not talking firmware
Yes, the PlayStation 4's numbers have dropped, but not by much. Sony's latest console shifted 22,104 units last week, which is down just 800 from prior figures - not a bad result considering that the machine's been steadily slipping back to its pre-price cut sales until now. The Japanese company will probably be...
News PlayStation Plus Subscribers Score Sweet EU PS4 Savings
Cash back
This month's PlayStation Plus lineup isn't looking all that tasty, but the latest wave of European PlayStation Store sales should have you salivating in no time. On the cut-price menu this month are a slew of PlayStation 4 double discounts, which will see you pocketing savings of up to 70 per cent on mouth-watering titles like Saints Row...
Store Update 3rd November 2015 (North America)
Feeling the need for speed
As was the case in Europe, it's a big week for the PlayStation Store over the pond. Call of Duty: Black Ops III is, of course, the headline attraction – but Need for Speed will be hooning for your attention, too. One other thing worthy of note is the Indivisible prototype beta – this is the latest titl
News Pick Your Favourite Character with This New Arslan: The Warriors of Legend Trailer
The faces of war
As you'd expect of an Omega Force developed Warriors title, Arslan: The Warriors of Legend is going to be stuffed with characters from the source material - and the game's newest English trailer shows a bunch of them off. We have to say, we're particularly liking the look of the visuals in this one, which seem to capture the feel...
Store Update 3rd November 2015 (Europe)
Back in black
It's a huge week on the European PlayStation Store, with Call of Duty: Black Ops III and Need for Speed leading the charge. Other highlights include Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Dragon Fin Soup – the latter of which will be free for PlayStation Plus users thro
News Destiny Continues to Grow with 25 Million Players
We're going to need more guns
Damn, that's a pretty hefty number isn't it? Activision has revealed that Destiny now has 25 million registered users, and on average, those Guardians are spending around three hours a day with the game. Guess those daily bounties and missions are doing their job, eh? Of course, even if you've only logged into the...
News Your PlayStation Plus Freebies for November Are Out Now
Bandwidth busters
It may not be the greatest lineup in PlayStation Plus history, but if you're looking for something new to play, then November's free titles are available in Europe right now. Those of you in North America will have to wait a little while longer for SCEA to catch up, but we expect the Instant Game Collection to update later today...
UK Sales Charts Assassin's Creed Syndicate Loses Its Halo
While Black Ops III waits in the wings
It would have been an absolute catastrophe if Halo 5: Guardians failed to top the sales charts, but it did – outselling the launch numbers of Assassin's Creed Syndicate by 50 per cent. Of course, it's worth noting that Ubisoft's open world romp through London was the poorest performing entry in the property...

Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 91
Trick or treat
Boo! We love it when a public holiday happens to coincide with WAYP – even if Hallowe'en isn't technically, y'know, a public holiday. Oh, whatever – 31st October offers the perfect opportunity to settle down with some spooky games. But what will be raising your pulse rate? Freak us out in the comments section below. Sammy Barker,...
News Your Free PS4 PlayStation Plus Games for November Include Magicka 2, The Walking Dead
Mass Effect 2! Beyond Good & Evil! Dragon Fin Soup!
As rumoured earlier in the week, your free PlayStation Plus games for November will include The Walking Dead: Season 2 and Magicka 2 – on the PlayStation 4 at least. Bizarrely, the platform holder's yet to confirm the PlayStation 3 and Vita titles in the lineup, but we'll update you the
News Metal Gear Solid V Ships 5 Million, Including Downloads
Five alive
Metal Gear has always had its hardcore fans, but it's never been a true blockbuster in terms of commercial success. And, despite plenty of critical acclaim, a lot of buzz, and a seemingly ravenous new-gen console audience, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain seems to have stuck close to what's expected of the franchise when it comes to...
Store Update 27th October 2015 (North America)
Better late than never
Alright, we're clearly very late posting the North American PlayStation Store update, but hopefully you can forgive us after the theatrics of the previous evening. Highlights this time include the just announced DriveClub Bikes and WWE 2K16. Yeah, we'll refrain from commenting on the latter in case we get lynched. PS4 Games:...
Japanese Sales Charts Even with Declining Numbers, PS4 Manages to Stay at the Top
Not-so-steady ground
It's a bit of a hollow victory for the PlayStation 4 in the most recent Japanese hardware charts. Sony's new-gen machine is still sitting pretty at the top, but its numbers continue to fall away without the support of any big software releases. The console's managing to stay above the hallowed 20,000 mark, but it seems as...
Store Update 27th October 2015 (Europe)
Dropping in
Sony's deployed the European PlayStation Store update for 27th October, which we have the sneaking suspicion doesn't include absolutely everything set to be released. Rumours are that DriveClub's bikes expansion will also drop today, so keep an eye on today's press conference for more on that.
