Vroom vroom

The bigwigs at Sony have clearly being paying close attention to the comments section here at Push Square.

Sacrificed demons

Games with “souls” in the title are hot property right now. Not content with the announcement of Soul Sacrifice in Japan, SCEA has registered the domain for ForsakenSoulsTheGame.com. While this could simply be a localised name for the Keiji Inafune developed Vita exclusive, there’s also some speculation that Sony might be...

Find a friend

If you were hoping the heavily rumoured Dead Space 3 would return to the isolation that defined the original title, it’s probably best to stop dreaming. Rumours spewing out of IGN overnight have hinted that the title will feature online drop-in/drop-out co-op. Hmm. Apparently the plot will be near identical depending on whether you...

Big name for a big game

Former Capcom man Keiji Inafune could be leading development on Sony’s mysterious Vita exclusive Soul Sacrifice. We’ve known for a while that the Mega Man creator is working on a title for Sony’s new handheld, but reports coming out of Famitsu magazine have prompted the Japanese press to connect the dots. The prominent...

Sons and daughters

Love it or hate it, the Killzone franchise is here to stay.

Zap

Now that PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has officially been confirmed, speculation is fixated on the title’s final character roster.

Attack of the drones

A couple of screenshots from the heavily rumoured Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 have leaked online. The assets appear to confirm a near future setting for the hotly anticipated sequel.

Don't shoot the messenger

It sounds like SEGA has canned the sequel to Platinum Games' much loved character action title, Bayonetta.

The website reports that the sequel was set to include “a new character, in the form of a member of the US...

The lion, the witch and the wardrobe

Gamers are an intelligent bunch. When they’re not hunting for domain name registrations or poring over employee CVs, they’re picking apart game code to find references to future content. That’s exactly what one devoted Bethesda forum poster did with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s most recent patch — and...

Plug the holes

It's not particularly surprising to learn that Activision is readying a direct sequel to 2010's pretty good Call of Duty: Black Ops. The title has been heavily rumoured for months now, but was finally confirmed overnight via a sneaky photograph of a Target pre-order token posted on IGN. The card clearly shows the game’s logo, in...

Born again

When Rayman Origins appeared to struggle at retail late last year, many thought it was game over for Ubisoft’s stout nosed mascot.

The survey – discovered by Kotaku – notes that...

Mounting evidence

Sony’s heavily rumoured crossover brawler PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale took a step closer to confirmation this weekend, as cyber snoops uncovered a website domain registration for the title filed by SCEA. The name was previously mentioned in a PlayStation survey, and seems to be pretty legit at this point. The game itself...

Reliable Japanese retail blogger Sinobi has raised the curtain on an announcement event for an exclusive Vita title called Soul Sacrifice on 10th...

Broken invisibility cloak

The video game sleuths are at it again – but this time it isn’t a publisher or loose-lipped employee at fault. Instead it’s Swedish magazine GameReactor, who’s somehow managed to let the cover of its upcoming issue slip out into the wild. While the cover’s not especially upfront about its contents, a series of...

Black Ops 2 in the works

It’s about time major publishers learned: video game sleuths are really good at what they do. The latest accidental reveal comes courtesy of a group of Call of Duty fans, who decided it was time Activision told us a little something about 2012’s inevitable entry in the massively popular series. They found the image...

Whoops

We’ve got a sneaking suspicion that Rockstar North employee Alex O’Dwyer is not having a particularly happy Easter.
