Review Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Back with a Bang
Boom Claptrap
Ten years ago, Borderlands felt like a breath of fresh air. It stood apart from the games that were chasing Call of Duty’s shadow by channelling Diablo more than Desert Storm. Its signature loot mechanic became a selling point, but Borderlands always offered more than that. It was funny, charming, and wholly unique. And in a world...
News Borderlands 3's Box Art Goes Biblical in Brilliant Fashion
Your lovin' is Bible

Hands On Borderlands 2 VR Is Much Better with the PSVR Aim Controller
The best way to play
Borderlands 2 VR launched last year and played perfectly fine with the DualShock 4 controller, but we weren’t fond of its PlayStation Move support. Unfortunately, the game lacked PSVR Aim Controller support at launch – despite frequent requests from fans for its implementation. Thankfully, developer Gearbox listened, and a...
Review Borderlands 2 VR - A Handsome Adaptation
You don't know Jack
Sony’s not stupid, and it seems to recognise that titles like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Borderlands 2 VR need to exist in order to get potential PlayStation VR adopters through the door. While headset veterans will accurately argue that it’s the titles like Astro Bot Rescue Mission and Beat Saber that really shine in...
News Borderlands 2 VR Gets the Live Action Commercial Treatment
For the Mayas
It’s been a quietly exceptional year for PlayStation VR, but there’s still one big game left in its arsenal: Borderlands 2 VR. Okay, so the PlayStation 3 version of the shooter-looter launched eons ago, but it has been upgraded for virtual reality and should present a totally new experience from the all-new perspective. And to...
News Looks Like Borderlands 2 VR Won't Ship with DLC
VRy disappointing
Borderlands 2 is coming to PlayStation VR later this year, and in many ways it feels like a decent fit for Sony’s virtual reality headset. Gearbox has clearly put work into the port as well, revealing that you’ll be able to drive from a first-person perspective and dual-wield weapons using two PlayStation Move wands. But, as is...

News Mafia 3's Original Intro Was So Controversial It Had to Be Erased
New Bord-oh
Mafia III, for all its flaws, delves into some pretty dark subject matter. But developer Hangar 13 originally planned to open the title with an introduction so controversial that it’s since removed all traces of the scene from its servers. “If ever that had come out without any context in any form it would have looked terrible,”...
Loving the alien
Republished on Wednesday 30th May 2018: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of June's PlayStation Plus lineup. The original text follows.

News Some Savvy Publishers Are Now Using Trophies to Sell Ads
I'm lovin' it
2K Games never misses an opportunity to make a little extra cash on the side – just take a look at the microtransactions situation in NBA 2K18. But it may have hit rock bottom with WWE 2K18, selling the description and icons of a couple of its Trophies to KFC and Snickers respectively. Yes, that’s right – it’s quite literally...
News Give Mafia III a Shot For Free with Its New PS4 Demo
Bite-sized revenge
Mafia III may not have set the open world genre alight as was intended, but by most accounts, it's not that bad overall.

If you've had your eye on Mafia III but the lukewarm...
News Here's Your Shock First Look at Borderlands 3

News Mafia III Smuggles a Stealth PS4 Pro Patch
In and out
Its popularity may have fallen off a cliff a few days after it launched, but at least Mafia III is still being supported by developer Hanger 13. As pointed out by Digital Foundry, the sandbox crime sim has very quietly received a PS4 Pro update - there's apparently no mention whatsoever of Pro support in the patch notes, which seems a bit...

4.5 million copies shipped in one week

Review Carnival Games VR (PS4)
Infinite bore fair
Ah, this is just what PlayStation VR needed: a minigame collection. And not just any superficial smorgasbord of banal activities either, but the granddaddy of the genre: Carnival Games VR.

But is it any good? Watch the...
News Evolve's No Longer Going Free-to-Play on PS4
Devolve
Evolve is finished. The first-person shooter which gobbled up Game of the Show awards like they were going out of fashion has been dropped by developer Turtle Rock – mere months after going free-to-play on PC. It's safe to assume that the complimentary release didn't catch fire quite like the studio wanted it to. This all means that the...
Round Up Mafia III Takes a Bullet or Two in First Reviews
Fed to the alligators?
Mafia III's off to a bit of a rough start in the reviews department, it would seem. The sandbox mob-'em-up launched last week on PlayStation 4, but critic reviews are only just beginning to roll in due to the fact that publisher 2K Games didn't want to send pre-release review code to anyone that isn't a YouTuber. Some of the...
Video Should You Buy Mafia III for Your PS4?
Mob job

News Pimp Mafia III on Social Media and Have Vinnie Jones Give You 10p Coffee
Served in empty bullet cartridges
We can picture it now: a PR person in a trendy office with a whiteboard desperately trying to think of a fashionable way to promote Mafia III without flinging early access codes at uncompromisingly enthusiastic YouTubers. The only problem is that he has to somehow link the game, which takes place in a fictional...
News Mafia III Reviews Will Remain in the Bayou Beyond Launch
Gangster's nightmare
Mafia III releases on 7th October globally, but don't expect to find a review on Push Square – or any site worth your time for that matter. 2K Games informed us recently that code would go out on launch day, and Polygon has since confirmed that to be the case for other outlets around the world. In other words: you probably...
News Battleborn's Probably Maybe Possibly Going Free-to-Play Soon
Pitchford says no yes kinda
In news that would struggle to surprise even the late Cilla Black, Kotaku is reporting that Battleborn will be going free-to-play soon. This is something that Gearbox gaffer Randy Pitchford has already moved to deny, though his tirade of tweets are… Something to say the least. Writing on social media, the suit...
News 16 Minutes of Mafia III Gameplay Outlines Stealth and Gunplay
Either way will do

The clip contains around 16 minutes of gameplay from next month's sandbox crime-'em-up, highlighting the various ways that you can tackle missions...
News Mafia III Takes Aim at Free DLC and Three Premium Expansions
Lock and load
It looks like developer Hangar 13 has reasonably big plans for Mafia III after it launches next month, promising free downloadable content packs along with three premium expansions. The free stuff is largely what you'd expect - costumes, weapons, and extra vehicle customisation - but the studio also makes mention of races, which could...
News New Mafia III Gameplay Trailer Takes Justice Into Its Own Hands
Safety's off
Mafia III lead Lincoln Clay doesn't mess around, does he? The star of the game's latest trailer, we see Clay take down a ton of criminals, from lowly drug dealers to mob bosses and more. Sure, his methods may not be subtle - they appear to be of the 'shoot first, ask questions later' variety - but hey, he gets the job done. Of course,...
News Would You Kindly Watch Over 30 Minutes of BioShock on PS4?
All spliced up
Phwoar! These look good, don't they? 2K Games has released around ten minutes of footage from each game included in BioShock: The Collection, which is set to launch on the PlayStation 4 next month. And it's a reminder of just how unique these games were on the PlayStation 3. All three titles look amazing, but BioShock: Infinite's...
News Mafia III's Stunning Sixties Soundtrack Could Be the Best of the Open World Bunch
Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, James Brown, and more
We love a good licensed soundtrack in our games. Sometimes, a fitting selection of tunes can really solidify the feel of a release - the inclusion of Stan Bush's The Touch in Saints Row IV was inspired, for example - and with Mafia III, we've been hoping and praying for a stellar sixties soundtrack...
Gamescom 2016 Would You Kindly Watch This BioShock: The Collection Comparison?
Rapturous results
BioShock has, arguably, one of the greatest intros to a game ever. But it's about to get even better as part of BioShock: The Collection, the PlayStation 4 remaster of the PlayStation 3 classic. 2K Games has truncated the amazing opening, and uploaded a comparison with its new-gen version. The differences, as you may imagine, are...
Gamescom 2016 Mafia III Keeps on Truckin' with Heist Trailer
Carnival chaos
2K Games appears to be adopting the Ubisoft PR strategy for Mafia III: blanket the web with coverage and hope that people pay attention. This is the game's second trailer in almost as many days, but hey, we're probably the only ones keeping count. Fortunately, it continues to look fantastic – we love the cars, fashion, and time...

News Mafia III's Main Character Is a Man on a Mission
Mob justice
From what we've seen of Mafia III so far, we're reasonably excited for the upcoming open world mob-'em-up, and while we have some reservations when it comes to the sequel's rather standard looking gameplay, we reckon that the setting and characters seem pretty interesting. Speaking of which, protagonist and Vietnam veteran Lincoln Clay...
News Evolve Will Be Playable for Free on PS4 Soon
Admits original release caused a "s***storm"
As expected, Evolve really is going free-to-play – but not on the PlayStation 4 just yet. While PC players will be able to download the complimentary client's beta starting today, fans of Sony's system will need to wait until Turtle Rock's got everything in order. Once it's satisfied with the PC...
News Is PS4 Shooter Evolve About to Go Free to Play?
Level up
Remember Evolve? It was that game by the ex-Left 4 Dead devs that won a slew of awards prior to release, and then was swiftly ignored by gamers and the media once it actually launched. Well, it looks like it's about to make a comeback – or at least try to, we suppose. Turtle Rock, the studio behind the shooter, has put a countdown on the...

E3 2016 Mafia III Looks and Sounds the Part on PS4
The biz
We feel a little bit sorry for Mafia III.

Still, this 22 minute gameplay demo which debuted last night is surprisingly strong – it...
