Siri, where's Ciri?
I don't know what day or time it is, but I do know that I was very politely asked to put on a clean pair of trousers and make a Game of the Month video for May 2015. After being kicked by Sammy a couple of (hundred) times, you can enjoy the end product above. Now, back to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and my pee pots...

Narrate this
Guess who got the Bloodborne Platinum Trophy? Here's a hint: he's handsome, loves Taylor Swift, and works for Push Square. Oh God, no – it wasn't darn well Sammy. It was actually me, but as a result of that case of mistaken identity, I'm going to sulk for the remainder of this pre-amble. Watch the video if you like... Whatever...

The good blood
And now that Bloodborne's out of the way, it's back to your regularly scheduled slice of Game of the Month video goodness – in which your humble host talks Bloodborne. We let the good blood guide us this time out, as we get to the bottom of the PlayStation 4 exclusive's plot – and compare it to election debates. Both make about as...

Dark days
February 2015 may have been quite literally the worst month in PlayStation history, but that's not stopped us from pumping out another recap video. Watch on as we crown Dragon Ball XenoVerse, and also break a bit of bad news to Sir Galahad and crew. He didn't take it particularly well, we're afraid to say. Oh well, remember to push that...

January blues
Who missed me? Aw, look at that, you've all gone shy... And quiet... And have started walking in the wrong bloody direction! C'mon back precious eyes, because if we don't get 500 views on this Game of the Month clip then this video editor has a noose around his neck, and let me tell you, he's darn well not afraid to use it. There'll be...

Once more with feeling
If this video were a part of a pudding, it'd be the delicious sponge bit separating the jelly and custard in a nice trifle. In other words: it represents the centre piece of our coverage, before we get to the fruity finale next week. "What's it all about, then?" we hear you scream. Well, it's the best PS4 games of 2014 –...

Handheld highfliers
Hello everyone – we trust you all had a very Merry Thursday. As you may have noticed elsewhere on the site, we'll be filling the next week's news void with oodles of articles on the Best PlayStation Games of 2014 – and this Video Editor has been busy preparing some videos for those of you that don't like to read. Watch on for...

Slay to go
We’re trying something different with this latest Game of the Month video, as this video editor can’t stomach another restless weekend sat in front of Final Cut for a clip that will barely break 100 views. As such, this month’s edition has been condensed like a piece of IKEA flat pack furniture. Unlike the Swedish megastore’s...
Video Everything That's Wrong with WWE 2K15 PS4's My Career Mode
CM Flunk
As the only member of the Push Square team that regularly rocks up for work dressed as the Ultimate Warrior, this particular Video Editor was more excited for WWE 2K15 on PS4 than a date with diva extraordinaire, Paige. Unfortunately, as our recent review indicated, the meat of the release, My Career mode, is a dismal disappointment. Allow...
Review WWE 2K15 (PlayStation 4)
Three-Star Frog Splash
It’s been a month since we saw WWE 2K15’s last-gen offering – a game that we called “a kick in the teeth” – released on the PlayStation 3, but with updated visuals, an improved control scheme, and promising new game modes, is its PlayStation 4 big brother much better? Thankfully, the power of the next-gen hardware...
Video How's the Latest Beta for The Crew Faring on PS4?
Rocky road
Words are overrated. We were going to pen a big lengthy article on The Crew’s most recent PlayStation 4 beta, but that takes time to both write and read. Instead, we figured that we’d show you how we’re getting on with Ubisoft’s latest racer. As you can see, things are going just great. [ Subscribe to our YouTube channel for...

New music, new games, new video – it’s Game of the Month time. Again. Already. Despite the fact that these come around bloody fast, we’ve got a corker lined up for you today. Watch on as we pick a new backing track in realtime, watch cat robots quaff boiled eggs, and, er, publish silly pictures of an alien with an afro. See you...
Review WWE 2K15 (PlayStation 3)
Low blow
If you’re a wrestling fan, it’s been hard to ignore 2K Sports’ constant bragging about just how revolutionary WWE 2K15 is going to be. However, while this certainly looks to be true with the PlayStation 4 version, the recycled gameplay and samey ideas present in the last-gen effort leave a lot to be desired. When booting up the game...

Back online
Thank Taffin – the Internet works. Can you imagine a world without underwater cats, Pierce Brosnan, and adult actresses doing really weird things with Bounty bars? Well, that’s exactly what this Video Editor has experienced – and it was awful. BT’s finally fixed your humble host’s busted broadband connection, though, so that...
First Impressions Does WWE 2K15 on PS4 Have Heavyweight Pedigree?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
If you heard loud screaming coming from the back corner of Earls Court, it may have been us. Yes, 2K Sports brought the PlayStation 4 version of WWE 2K15 to the UK’s biggest video game fair this year, EGX London, and throwing ourselves at a free demo unit, it became all too apparent why our fellow revellers were yelling at full tilt...
Video Listen to Us Discuss the PS4's Biggest Upcoming Games
Pod thing
One of the biggest requests for Push Square both internally and externally is some kind of podcast, but it’s been on the backburner for some time now. However, at EGX London last week, we decided to give the idea a go, in order to catalogue both our experiences on the show floor – and also see if the concept would actually, y'know,...

Another port, another GotM award
Two PS3 to PS4 ports in just as many months, and both of them win our Game of the Month award. That's right, Push Square's staff are secretly trying to rile you up to the point where you think we're all either evil port pushers or sickening indie apologists. Is it working yet? If not, take a look at our typically...
Video Watch as We Take a Trip Back in Time to Round-Up Gamescom 2014 and Its Game of the Show
Oh the memories
Ah, good old Gamescom 2014. Remember when it divided the gaming community because of its supposed focus on smaller games? We thought that you would. Anyway, we know that it's a bit late, but madcap Video Editor Ben Potter would still love for you to watch his typically mental round-up video. As you may remember, the newly announced...

We almost, almost ran this pre-amble through Google Translate and posted it up in French. In fact, your humble host’s pointer finger was hovering over the publish button, but we’ve decided to switch back to the English version. Why change language in the first place? Well, because this video editor is currently swatting flies...
