Feature Push Square's Most Anticipated PlayStation Games Of Holiday 2010: Call Of Duty Black Ops
How predictable
Another Call Of Duty game. Fantastic, right? Well, yes, apparently. We didn't think Call Of Duty Black Ops would ever make this list either, but everything we've seen of the game over the past 12-months has truly stunned us. For a while now we've been discussing how the fallout from Infinity Ward might affect the team from Treyarch...
Feature Push Square's Most Anticipated PlayStation Games Of Holiday 2010: Sports Champions
Table tennis

We've never been to a carnival
Not a real carnival like you see in the movies anyway. We've been to fairs, fetes and gatherings. But never a carnival.

There's a gothic feel to the place, it's almost like stepping into the...
Feature Multiplayer Shooters Stress Me The Heck Out -- "Twiggy" The Push Square Opinionator
I just don't get it
As a reviewer, I can see the positives and negatives in every game I play. But on a personal level, I just don't get multiplayer shooters.

News You Know How You Thought DJ Hero Bombed? Nuh-Uh!
We liked DJ Hero
We liked DJ Hero a lot actually. We bought it launch day. Launch day! Y'know, when it cost like a bajillion pounds.
