News Mortal Kombat 11 Adds the Klassic Movie Kast
Mortal Kombattt
In an attempt to save you from Ronda Rousey’s irritating Sonya ‘Ronya’ Blade, NetherRealm Studios has followed up the release of Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate on the PlayStation 5 with the Klassic MK Movie Skin Pack, which revives the likenesses and voices of the legendary 1995 movie tie-in. That means Bridgette Wilson-Sampras,...
News The Last of Us 2 Sweeps The Golden Joysticks with Five Awards
Naughty Dog bags best studio
Awards season is upon us and Cyberpunk 2077 hasn't even released yet. That puts us and a lot of outlets in a bit of an awkward position, but the Golden Joysticks have gone first with their celebration of 2020's best games. And The Last of Us: Part II came out on top by a very, very wide margin, bagging itself five awards...
News Assassin's Creed Valhalla Update Arriving This Week
Should be a big one
Assassin's Creed Valhalla could do with a patch or two. Or three. The open world adventure runs much better on PS5 than it does on PS4 — as stressed in our Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS5 review — but it's still rather buggy, and we dare say that some gameplay elements could be adjusted for the better. Ubisoft had previously...
Talking Point Which Free December 2020 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
The first update of the PS5 era
What’s the December 2020 PlayStation Plus lineup? When will the free December 2020 PS Plus games be announced? This is the first major PS Plus update since the PS5 released, but as Bugsnax will be available as a bonus game until 4th January, don’t expect any fresh goodies for your next-gen console.

News This Is Cyberpunk 2077 Running on PS5, PS4 Pro

News Hitman 3 Heads to Asia in Brand New Level Reveal
Plus close look at Glacier engine
Hot on the heels of its Project 007 reveal, IO Interactive has revealed another location Agent 47 plans to visit in the upcoming Hitman 3.

News Cracking Arcade Racer Hotshot Racing Gets Free DLC Pack Today on PS4
Big Boss
We're big fans of Hotshot Racing here at Push Square Towers. The indie arcade racing game wonderfully scratches that Ridge Racer/Burnout itch we've been having for most of PlayStation 4's lifespan. If you're after a fast, drifty, arcadey racer, it comes highly recommended. It's great news, then, that it's getting a little bigger with a free...
News Cyberpunk 2077 Will Let You Turn Off Nudity
Campaign could take 175 hours on hardest difficulty
We know that Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in a dark and sordid world, where humans augment and supplant their physical form with modifications. That means that, ultimately, you’re going to be exposed to a whole lot of nudity throughout the course of the campaign, which some may not be 100 per cent...
Review Katamari Damacy Reroll (PS4) - Roll 'Em Up Remake Rocks
Keep rollin' rollin' rollin' rollin'
We're sorry for the Limp Bizkit lyric in the tagline. But if we had to think about them while trying to come up with puns on rolling then it's only fair that you think about them too. If, by chance, you don't know who Limp Bizkit is then all you need to know is that the early 2000s weren't kind to rock music, but...
News FIFA 21 Confirms Dua Lipa, Zidane, Lewis Hamilton for Volta Mode

News NEO: The World Ends With You Brings the Stylish RPG Property Back on PS4
NEO Tokyo
Here's an announcement that we didn't expect to see today: Square Enix is bringing The World Ends With You back from the dead. You may remember the stylish role-playing property from back when it was a Nintendo DS title, a whole 13 years ago. It went on to become something of a cult classic. NEO: The World Ends With You is the name of...

News Cyberpunk 2077 Retail Copies Already Out There, Leaks Are Inevitable
Wake up, samurai
You may remember that Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to release on the 19th November before it was delayed into next month. The game also went gold prior to the delay announcement — meaning that it was ready to be pressed and shipped. Taking all of this into account, there was already speculation that the sudden delay would result in...

News Classic Call of Duty Map Nuketown Gets a Retro Makeover Next Week
