  • News Try Not to Witness This Game-Breaking Bug in The Witness

    Hopefully this will all Blow over

    Jonathon Blow's beautiful new project, The Witness, is finally here, and many PlayStation players - including many Push Square staffers - are pumped to play through it.

  • Review World of Tanks (PS4)

    Eye of the Tigers

    Free-to-play games can often be a weird one: because the developer needs to make money from the complimentary client, it often has to stack it with microtransactions. This ensure a potentially nice revenue stream, but often it leads to unbalanced matches. And this, coincidentally, is also quite a big problem with World of Tanks...

  • News Could a New Tokyo Jungle Be in the Works?

    Producer Masaaki Yamagiwa teases a new project

    A lot of people probably remember Tokyo Jungle for its obscure, Pomeranian-sporting front cover, but it was an excellent game in its own right. Set in a world in which humans have become extinct and animals roam the streets of cities, players had to gather animals into packs and take over Tokyo,...

  • Review Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India (PS4)

    We can't think of a pun(jab)

    The Assassin's Creed series – hell, Ubisoft's entire portfolio – has been getting a lot of flak lately due to the samey nature of each instalment. The expected announcement of Watch Dogs 2 seemed to excite no one, and it seems like no one really cares about the Assassin's Creed movie that's coming out this very year...

  • Feature 10 Under the Radar PS4 Games to Look Out for in 2016

  • News Star Wars Games May Have Made Too Much Money in 2015

    Analyst predicts Battlefront raked in $660 million

    The launch of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was certainly a big deal, with the film's opening weekend income totalling almost $250 million worldwide, smashing many box office sales records in the process.

  • Soapbox Why Mad Max Is a Hugely Overlooked Game

    Sam Brooke on a world gone mad

    Mad Max didn't really make any Game of the Year lists, yet I feel that it's been hugely overlooked, and that it has plenty to offer. The game, on paper, should've just been another boring Ubisoft open-worlder: camps to infiltrate, viewpoints to climb up to and survey, skill trees, upgrades, and all the usual stuff...

  • News Looks Like Star Wars 1313 May Happen After All

    Not being sarlacc-stic

    If you're a Star Wars fan, you probably remember the Star Wars 1313 trailer – largely because it was excellent. It promised a grittier, more action-adventure based Star Wars game, not unlike Uncharted, and many people were pretty excited for it, considering it explored Boba Fett's past, something that hadn't really been done...

    DICE start work on the next Battlefield, too

    For a game that came out over two years ago, Battlefield 4 is amazingly still being supported, despite developer DICE working on Star Wars Battlefront [And Mirror's Edge Catalyst! - Ed] as well.

  • Rumour Could Max Payne Dive onto PS4?

    It's about (bullet) time

    After re-releasing eight PlayStation 2 games on the PlayStation 4 last week, it seems that Sony isn't going to stop digging up old classics and giving them a new lease of life. On the ESRB website, it appears that Remedy's excellent shooter Max Payne could be one of those games being brought to the platform, with R

  • News PES 2016 Finally Gets Its Roster Update Next Month

    Booked for time-wasting

    Back when we reviewed PES 2016 in September, we said that it was an excellent football game - its only real weaknesses being its unlicensed teams and the fact that its roster was based on last season's squads. For example, that money-grabbing Sterling was still disgracing Liverpool's teamsheet. A roster update, titled Data...
