News New Need For Speed: Shift Trailer Looks Pretty Fantastic, Coming This September
Aside from the 3DO original, we've never been the biggest fans of the Need For Speed franchise

News Bioshock 2 Multiplayer Details Emerge
Did you know Bioshock 2 had multiplayer? Well it does
We're not quite sure how it will work in the context of a franchise that is entirely story-driven and has some, well, admittedly lame gun combat. Regardless, it's there and is being developed by Digital Extremes, the team that worked on Dark Sector. In the multiplayer you'll play as a Plasmid...

As big fans of Alice In Wonderland (hurry up Mr. American McGee) we simply had to post about this.
News Judge Dredd Heading Into LittleBigPlanet
The clever thing about LittleBigPlanet is that it can be used as a marketing tool in a really subtle way
Let me pitch this to you: people want to create levels with a genuine city scape, need advertising banners for things like Coca-Cola to make it look more realistic, Coca-Cola release a stick patch, people use the stickers in their advertising...
News First Red Dead Redemption Trailer Seems Pretty Cool
Red Dead Redemption is shaping up pretty nicely
Rockstar's take on ol' Western movies is due for release later this year, and while the trailer gives little away, it does give you a bit of an idea of the route they seem to be taking with this game. We're lucky forward to seeing more.
News SEGA Already Have Another Yakuza Game In The Works
We haven't played Yakuza 3 yet because it's looking unlikely SEGA will ever slap subtitles on it and release it in the West
The game however has managed to be a huge success without Western sales mind. Over a half a million people in Japan own the game making it a rip-roaring success. Enough for another entry in the series, which Toshihiro Nagoshi...

News DJ Hero, Guitar Hero 5 & Band Hero All Hit This Fall - Only One Sounds Amazing
Oh
Well it only felt like an hour ago we were posting rumours about DJ Hero (it was under an hour ago - Ed). But now it's all official. As are Band Hero and Guitar Hero 5. Activision claim the games will "redefine the company's popular music gaming platform" and "transform the way consumers enjoy and engage with music." While we...
News If This Is The DJ Hero Controller - We're Calling "Amazing" Right Now
Oh man
If this is indeed the real, legit DJ Hero controller - damn, we might have to eat every word we've said about Guitar Hero and Rock Band. If those lousy excuses for games paved the way for this then we'll have no option but to eat humble pie and accept those products for what they are. If you take the Guitar Hero concept, replace bad music...

THQ are not expecting Sony to drop, what could be considered as a "megaton" at this years E3 - nope, they don't expect a price cut announcement until later in the year

The embedded video, believe it or not, is Platinum Games' Bayonetta

News Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Lands On PSN June 29th

The Wii has started floundering, the 360 has always floundered and the PS3 has had a lineup of killer, killer titles. One such title was a blu-ray that included a demo; you know the one! So we know things are looking pretty positive for Sony in Japan - but just how rosy are the...
News Fancy Some Digital T-Shirts Involving Patapon?
Something exciting always happens when we see Playstation Home clothes
At first we think they're real. And we let out a little yelp as we scour the page for a "Buy It Now" link; until we finally realise they are DIGITAL clothes for our DIGITAL character in Sony's DIGITAL world. Sigh. At least these Patapon 2 themed shirts do look kind of...
Oh man; video games - this is why we love them
This is insane news. The Ghostbusters game - which was planned as a multiplatform game - has passed publisher's hands like, well, like Swine flu really - starting out at Vivendi, moving to Atari and now - weeks before the June 19th release - ending clasped between Sony's mitts. In this mornings press...
News Here Are Your The Beatles: Rock Band Instruments
Here are some instruments set to release alongside The Beatles: Rock Band game
They'll cost a meagre $100 each (no they're not included, they're just a bit extra Harmonix want you to pay). We're not fans of Guitar Hero or Rock Band. We are fans of The Beatles. We'd rather not pay $100 a pop for plastic replicas of their gear. Sadly, we assume...
News Spyro Rated For PS3/PSP; Capcom Bringing 20-40 PS1 Titles To The PSN
This is a bit of a double barrel of news regarding the slowly growing PS1 section of the Playstation Store
First up - the ESRB have rated Spyro 2 and Spyro: Year Of The Dragon for release on the US Playstation Store. Of course that doesn't mean they're coming soon - both Klonoa and Vib Ribbon were rated too - but it always means they could be rolled...
News First Set Of Vin Diesel Wheelman DLC On The Way
Wheelman was a bit of surprise to us
We jumped in expecting nothing, but what we got was a totally hollow but still entirely enjoyable game. It's throwaway fun and if we could have more of it we'd bite Ubisoft's hand off. So it's with some happiness that we can announce five new "Street Showdown" missions for $4.99. Not willing to splash...
News Gunstar Heroes Rated For The Playstation 3
Who likes Gunstar Heroes? *counts pointed hands* - quite a lot of you, then
Good, because chances are it's coming to the PSN. Both the ESRB and PEGI have rated the game. An XBOX Live achievement list has also leaked, practically confirming the games existence. If the price is right, we are all over this.
News Is The GTA Hype Dying Out? CNBC Thinks So.
Grand Theft Auto IV was an excellent game and a massive success for everyone involved

News Linger In Shadows Goes .deTuned, Gamers Groan While PushSquare Do Cartwheels
We don't care what anyone says, we're adamant that Linger In Shadows was a great £1
00 spent. We know people didn't "get" it, and we're certainly not the type of publication who want to go all pretentious about it - but we enjoyed it. The music and the art-style were two things that will live in our memories for a while to come — the...

News Brutal Legend Starts A Revolution, We Still Think It's Going To Be The Worst Thing Ever
After seeing this trailer, everyone is going Brutal Legend crazy
Except us. Here in the PushSquare offices we watched gormlessly as we saw our worst nightmares unfold in front of us. A God Of War clone, starring Jack Black, designed around the symbolism found on heavy metal record covers. Good grief. We've decided to sleep through the entirety of...
News Assassin's Creed II Screenshots Display Protagonist Flying [UPDATED]
Here's Ezio from Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed II flying
As so many people of the renaissance period did. The screen comes as part of a new collection posted exclusively by MondoXBOX. Graphically, we can't assume much at this stage but we'd certainly go out on a limb and suggest that the game is going to be a step up visually. EDIT @ 14:38GMT:...

The rumour has been on the cards for both Sony and Microsoft ever since the Wii became such a success story: Playstation 3/XBOX 360 are getting motion controllers

News New Batman: Arkham Asylum Trailer; Delayed?
The above Arkham Asylum trailer debuts the type of combat players can expect from the upcoming Batman game, which we have to admit looks rather fun

News New Prototype Trailer Looks At Mission Objectives
Prototype looks pretty cool, but if we're worried about anything, it's the mission variety
We're worried this game will get pretty repetitive, fast. This trailer has done little to quell our concerns, but we have to admit, all the objectives (stealth aside) look pretty fun, mainly because of the protagonist's abilities. It's going to be interesting...
News Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Meets Stan Bush & "The Touch"
Remember that part near the start of the 1986 Transformer's movie where Optimus Prime lands on Autobot city and proclaims: "Megatron must be stopped, no matter the cost," and he subsequently transformers, runs over three Decepticons and blasts a couple more? Well, if you remember all that, you'll also remember that it's all heartbreakingly set to the melodic rock of Stan Bush's "The Touch"
Basically an amazing song. A song that actually fits the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tr...

News New Tekken 6 Trailer Has Good Music
The last Tekken 6 trailer was a bit boring because it didn't have Namco's typical glitch-rock running in the background
The new one? Check. If we had to critique the "choon", we'd moan it's a bit noisey. But hey. It glitches all over the place. "Win".

The thing that was instantly apparent to us upon running Red Faction: Guerilla was a sense of arcade action
