Time to save another princess

As Pwnee Studios probably once said, 'you can never have your fingers in too many pies' – or something to that effect. That was presumably after the Kickstarter platformer project Cloudberry Kingdom was announced as a multi-platform release for a whopping five systems, including the PlayStation Network and the Vita...

Are you afraid of the dark?

Arachnophobes are best advised to steer clear of the PlayStation Store next week. Limbo, the popular indie puzzler from Danish developer Playdead, is set to illuminate the PlayStation Vita on 4th June in North America and 5th June in Europe. The port – which has been handled by LittleBigPlanet PS Vita collaborator...

Starship super

One year ago, FuturLab's Velocity was released on the PlayStation Minis label and flew right into a meteor shower of praise. At a glance a vertical shoot 'em up, it excelled above this label, wonderfully welding smart puzzle elements to speedy, frantic laser-play. If you were foolish enough to ignore it when it was originally...

Surprise jab

Smartphone smash Real Boxing is set to hook onto the PlayStation Vita this August, developer Vivid Games has announced. The Unreal Engine-powered knockout simulator stung iOS late last year, before picking a fight with Android earlier this month. Now it’s set to spar with Sony’s premium portable, where it will take advantage of...

On the prowl

This week’s European PlayStation Store update is quite the varied feast. Just some of the highlights on offer at the gaming buffet are Wonderbook: Diggs Nightcrawler, Fuse, and The HD Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character. Elsewhere, Quell Memento is also up for grabs, while shameless impostor

Listed as part of IndieCade's lineup

The imminent summer breeze looks set to blow a gift in the form of thatgamecompany’s beautiful Flower onto the PlayStation Vita. While publisher Sony’s yet to officially confirm the port, the title rooted itself on IndieCade’s exhaustive E3 lineup, prompting the folks over at Shacknews to take notice...

Feature diva

You should always be cautious when Sony reveals an exciting new feature. While the platform holder is never short on ideas, it regularly drops the ball on interesting initiatives. Take the Eye Toy: the PlayStation 2 peripheral could be seen as a precursor to the phenomenal success of both the Nintendo Wii and the Xbox 360 Kinect, but...

Calm before the storm

In a few weeks, Naughty Dog will deploy The Last of Us on the PlayStation 3 – and you can pre-order your copy right now from the PlayStation Store. The special digital version will allow you to play the game while it’s downloading – a first for the PS3. This week’s North American update also boasts the survival...

Platform holder mandating nifty feature

Sony has a track record of announcing impressive features that never get used to their full potential. Remote Play is one such idea that, despite showing some promise, fell to the wayside on the PlayStation Portable and the PlayStation 3. However, the company’s eager to avoid the same issues with the...

Dragon of Dojima

There are few nights where we don’t weep at the lack of Yakuza 5 in our lives. The hotly anticipated PlayStation 3 adventure launched in Japan last year, but still hasn’t received a western release. Despite this, the series is still massively popular in its native market – and in a recent interview with an Eastern...

Limbless luminary

Hot on the heels of yesterday’s official announcement, Ubisoft has deployed a brand new trailer for the PlayStation Vita version of Rayman Legends. The video shows off a slew of levels from the game, in addition to the exclusive costumes and stages that will only appear in the handheld iteration of the release. Are you planning...

Like a record, baby

Dakko Dakko’s colourful platformer The HD Adventures of Rotating Octopus Character is set to spin onto the PlayStation Vita this week, the Welsh outfit has announced. The game – which originally deployed on the PlayStation Minis platform – sees you controlling an anthropomorphic cephalopod mollusc through increasingly...

Sea slick

Middling survival horror up-port Resident Evil: Revelations has bobbed straight to the top of the UK sales charts, proving that last year’s disappointing Resident Evil 6 hasn’t ruined the series’ reputation for good. The white-knuckle shooter fought off strong competition from last week’s frontrunn

Tretton in technicolor

If small screens are more your thing, Sony has confirmed that you’ll be able to watch the company’s impending E3 press conference on your PlayStation Vita. European PlayStation Blog manager Fred Dutton confirmed the snippet on the, er, PlayStation Blog, noting that the company is still “finalising plans”, but that...

Rebel one

Fans of fighters will be able to snag another humdinger for their PlayStation Vita this week, as Sony has confirmed that BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend is set to join the Instant Game Collection later today. The beautiful brawler will be available for free for PlayStation Plus subscribers, alongside timed trials for both FUSE

We're already legless

Former Wii U exclusive Rayman Legends is hopping onto yet another platform: the PlayStation Vita. Ubisoft confirmed the handheld port earlier today, adding that the title will launch on the same day as its console counterparts. For those of you out of the loop, that’s 30th August in Europe and 3rd September in North...

Plenty to play

PlayStation Vita evangelist and indie game aficionado Shahid Kamal Ahmad has taken to Twitter once again to tease the handheld’s impending line-up. Writing on the social networking site, the senior business development manager insinuated that there are “dozens” more titles on the way for the fledgling handheld. The exact nature...

New week revelations

The sun may be shining, but you won’t find us spending our weekend outside – we can absorb all of the Vitamin D that we need from the glow of the television screen. In keeping with tradition, we’ve gathered together a number of Push Square team members in order to find out what’s on their gaming agenda over the coming...
