Konami's released its launch trailer for Silent Hill: Downpour
The Vatra Games developed PlayStation 3 sequel is due for release in the Winter, which we're assuming means early next year. Some of the audio design in this trailer is great — Vatra seem to understand the psychological nature of the franchise. A prisoned protagonist certainly opens up...

News Alice: Madness Returns Launch Trailer Presumably Brings The Madness
Sometimes we get in a sticky spot doing this job
See: we love playing video games as much as we love writing about them. Because of that, we don't always want to watch every trailer or gameplay leak for a game we're excited about. We're sure you're all familiar with the term "media blackout". Alice: Madness Returns is one of those games we...

News New Tomb Raider Reboot Trailer Will Get You Hyped As Hell... Until The Release Date Pops Up
Square Enix has released a CG trailer for the new Tomb Raider game and it looks phenomenal
We absolutely adore the tone of the game — the lone survivor theme is fascinating. We also went in expecting to hate Lara Croft's voice — how can you better Keeley Hawes? — but we actually really like the voice actor. The biggest problem with this...

News Uncharted 3's Collector's Edition Is Pretty Weak, Will Save You Money
You'd think that a release as big as Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception would command the very best collector's edition Sony could muster

News The Weapons In Resistance 3 Are Chunky
Insomniac's released a new batch of multiplayer footage for Resistance 3
The first thing we noticed about the gameplay is just how chunky all the weapons sound. Everything from the standard assault rifle to magnum (with Resistance 2's exploding bullets) sound deadly. It's a far-cry from the previous game's rather tepid feeling arsenal. The new...
E3 2011 The Darkness II's New Visual Style Looks Great
When we first heard The Darkness was getting a sequel, we were a bit like, "Yeah whatever?" We liked the original game a fair amount, but never considered it a classic like many others do
That said, we were wrong to be so dismissive of The Darkness II. This new trailer for the sequel looks pretty impressive. We adore the new graphic novel visual...

News Watch Lightbox Interactive Having A Ridiculous Amount Of Fun Playing Their Own Game
According to Lightbox Interactive, Starhawk's multiplayer is going to be "just as much fun as Warhawk"

If a trailer's designed to get you hyped about a product then we suppose this Saints Row: The Third CG teaser is a triumph

It was postponed. Instead it will go down for maintenance this afternoon, from 16:30 GMT. Insanely the service will remain offline until 07:00 GMT tomorrow morning. That's a lot of downtime. We can only suspect it has something to do with the PlayStation Store. Sony

Rumour Sony Spoils Syphon Filter 4 Surprise, Gets Us Excited Anyway
Syphon Filter 4, guys
We've waited so long for this moment, and now it seems like Sony has revealed the great announcement prematurely.

News inFamous 2's Hero Edition Is Amazing But Expensive
We'd consider ourselves inFamous fans here at PushSquare, but we've decided against shelling out for the insanely expensive inFamous 2: Hero Edition
It's not that the set doesn't look cool — it genuinely does! — but more that we've learned our lesson when it comes to special editions. The God Of War III set was similarly attractive, and we...
News inFamous 2: The Beast Is Coming...
Sucker Punch has taken to the PlayStation Blog to debut a brand new teaser trailer for the upcoming inFamous 2
The trailer is light on content, but it's just long enough to let you know that the Beast is coming. The Beast was teased at the end of the original inFamous, when Cole had a vision of the forceful entity that only he can stop. At the start...
News inFamous 2's Limited Edition DualShock's Are Straight Outta The Nineties
In the nineties, every single electronics product was shipped in transparent plastic
We distinctly remember refusing to purchase PlayStation memory cards that weren't transparent. It was just cool at the time. Sony and Sucker Punch obviously feel its time to revive the timely fad, by releasing special European editions of inFamous 2 featuring an...
Last week an internal Sony memo hinted that the PlayStation Store would return today
We've still got no real conclusive evidence of that, but it's surely no coincidence that Sony has planned out scheduled maintenance for this evening. The maintenance, which is set to run today from 16:00PM (UK-time) through until 00:00AM, will lock you out of...
News Sherlock Holmes Brings Victorian Crime Solving To PlayStation 3
If you're just about getting done with L
A. Noire</a>, you might well be on the hunt for a new detective game on PlayStation 3. With a timely announcement, Focus Home Interactive has announced that it's bringing its popular Sherlock Holmes series to the PlayStation 3. The New Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes: The Testament Of Sherlock may be a...
News PushSquare Service Announcement: DiRT 3 Releases Today
DiRT 3 currently commands a MetaCritic of 88
That's right up there with L.A. Noire. Codemasters has just sent us a note to remind you all that the game is out today. You should probably do the sensible thing and buy it.</em>
News LOL: Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold
Wait for it: Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold
That means, short of a catastrophe, the game is finished and ready to be manufactured for retail. Always bet on Duke, I did, said Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford. I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world...
News Resistance: Fall Of Man & Resistance 2 Packed Up In Beefy Greatest Hits Collection
Resistance: Fall Of Man is amazing
Resistance 2 is not quite as amazing, though we do have a pretty big soft-spot for the game's stellar co-operative campaign. Both are essential material if you're preparing for the upcoming Resistance 3. As such, Sony's decided to pack up both games into a bumper Greatest Hits collection package that includes both...
News Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 Looks Gorgeous On CryEngine
We recently played City Interactive's Sniper: Ghost Warrior and thoroughly enjoyed the experience for what it was -- cheap, digestable and fun
As such, we're actually really excited for Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2. The sequel is set to use Crytek's CryEngine 3 technology, which should give the original's slightly shoddy visuals a real kick up the bum...
News Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker To Be Announced For PlayStation 3 At E3
Let's be honest, we all knew it was probably coming
A report on JVN overnight is suggesting that Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker will be made available for PlayStation 3 via the recently announced PSP Remasters Series. Apparently the announcement will be made at E3, presumably kicking off a bumper evening of Sony and Kojima announcements. Presumably...
News Boo: No Trophies For PSP Remasters Series
According to a report on Siliconera, trophy buffs should not expect digital trinkets for playing through remastered PSP titles on PS3
Trophy support was always unlikely, with the PSP Remaster Series supporting cross-compatible saves. Still, we imagine the decision's probably just lost Sony a good chunk of sales in the West. There is this mentality...
News Debut Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Trailer Is Amazing, Haters Gonna Hate
Someone give the Activision marketing department a raise
In just a couple of seconds of this debut Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 trailer, the marketing team managed to capture the game's entire concept. The sneaky little "WW3" logo which transforms into "MW3" is nothing shy of a stroke of brilliance. And it perfectly sums up the...
News Bioshock Infinite Is Still A Video Game, New Screenshots Prove It
In case you'd all forgotten about the announcement of Bioshock Infinite -- which literally does feel like an eternity ago -- 2K's released a fresh batch of screenshots to remind us all that the game exists
The spiritual successor to Bioshock is set in the sky on the floating city of Columbia, and promises plenty of steampunk insanity and idyllic...
News Sony's Not Done With The Dance Game Genre Yet
We actively dislike the dance game genre
We've made it a point to make that clear over the past couple of years, but we can't ignore their relevance. Franchises like Just Dance on the Nintendo Wii and Dance Central on the XBOX 360 are huge. Yet Sony's attempts to capture the market have been less convincing, with SingStar: Dance not quite shaking...
