Starfield cancelled too
We know that talk of acquisitions has never been more fierce, but this latest rumour is just a little bit too silly for our liking.

Dragon Ball Z! Dreams! Iron Man!
Happy new year! It's the start of the 20s, and time to look ahead to what's coming up on the PlayStation calendar for the next couple of months. Last year proved to be a pretty decent year for PS4, but 2020 is looking absolutely killer -- and that's before we even get started with PS5. Indeed, January and February...
Random No, This Isn't Our Breakfast - It Was Made in Dreams on PS4
Now we're hungry
Sometimes, there's just nothing better than a full English breakfast.

Game of the Year #1 - Resident Evil 2
Remaking mastery
Capcom has been on an absolute tear this generation. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Monster Hunter: World and Devil May Cry 5 filled the PlayStation 4's library with hit after hit over the past three years, but the Japanese publisher's crowning achievement is a step above the rest in more ways than one. Resident Evil 2 magnificently...

Game of the Year #2 - Death Stranding
Boundary breaking
Death Stranding is not quite as divisive as some would lead you to believe. Released to widespread critical praise, it is the only video game this year to receive a rare 10/10 rating from Push Square thanks to an experience that could only come from the mind of Hideo Kojima. The creator's first title since Metal Gear Solid V: The...
News That Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo Is Definitely Happening as Full Intro Leaks Online
There it is
Last week, the PlayStation Store listing for a supposed Final Fantasy VII Remake demo was discovered.

Pitch perfect
The end of the year brings with it another in a countless line of year-end lists, this time focusing on the incredible music that graced the PlayStation this year. As with all years, a few amazing soundtracks were left on the cutting room floor – Kingdom Hearts III, Ghost Giant, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order – but what we wound up...
Game of the Year #3 - Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Heavenly sword
The truth is, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice isn't really meant to be any easier or harder than Dark Souls. It's just its own thing, off to the side. From Software has been making hardcore action RPGs for about a decade, so it's no wonder that it would want to shake things up every now and again. It did so to an extent with Bloodborne, and...

Game of the Year Best PS4 Indie Game of 2019
Who needs a publisher?
The independent scene continues to thrive on PlayStation 4, meaning this category becomes tougher and tougher to judge each and every year. A whole host of quality indie titles made their way to Sony's current-gen system across 2019, from late ports that may have not gotten their due to ones others that were the talk of the...
News UK Sales Charts: Nothing Can Knock Modern Warfare, FIFA 20, or Star Wars Off the Podium
2019's final chart is looking familiar
The year, and the decade, are almost over and done with, but we've got time to squeeze in one last physical UK chart. Unfortunately it isn't a particularly exciting result this time, with the top 10 largely the same as last week's. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, FIFA 20, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order continue...
Evolution, not revolution
Nacon's back with another licensed PlayStation 4 pad, adding to its already impressive controller lineup on Sony's system.

Game of the Year #4 - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
What the Force deserves
It's almost impressive how badly Electronic Arts has handled the Star Wars license up to now. Two Star Wars Battlefront titles came and went amid microtransaction controversies and lacking single player content during the earlier days of PlayStation 4, but there was always a bright light at the end of the tunnel - despite the...

The video game industry is now in such a place where the term Game as a Service is common knowledge.

Games are now much more than the experience...
Feature PSVR Had a Great Start, But It's Time to Up the Ante
How can PSVR improve in 2020 and beyond?
PlayStation VR was introduced to the world just over three years ago, and it brought the tech to the masses. Oculus Rift got the ball rolling on PC, of course, but it was with Sony's cheaper, more accessible headset that virtual reality became something attainable for everyone. It's for these reasons that...
Game of the Year #5 - Devil May Cry 5
Hell yes
Devil May Cry 5 is Capcom back to its best. After a rocky start to the generation, the legendary developer has upped its game dramatically over the last couple of years, and the return of Dante is a standout moment, once again proving that no one understands action quite like Capcom. In short, Devil May Cry 5 is easily one of the best...

Levelling up
It feels like every other video game nowadays can stake a claim to being a part of the RPG genre, in part thanks to the popularisation of its mechanics.
