Hype merchants
2016 is shaping up to be a major year for the PlayStation 4, and while we can't wait to get our grubby mitts on many of the system's upcoming titles, we thought that we'd take this opportunity to think about potential games that haven't been officially announced yet. As such, we've come up with a list of 12 titles that we'd love to...

Reaction We Launch Our Limit Breaks on Episodic Final Fantasy VII Remake Reports
Squaaaaaaaare!
So, Final Fantasy VII Remake isn't going to be one game. The news rocked the very foundation of the Push Square office earlier today, but even though we're still reeling from the shock, we've managed to get editors Sammy Barker and Robert Ramsey together to have a good old rant about the whole thing. You can read their bewildered,...
Reaction PSX 2015's Presser Brings the PS4 Goods Despite Poor Pacing and Pants Finale
Did the Japanese giant deliver?
Sony's only just getting started with its PlayStation Experience event, but the keynote is the clear highlight for those not in attendance at the show. This year's presser brought with it a solid two hours of trailers, announcements, and executives in branded t-shirts. But did it deliver? We asked editors Sammy Barker...
Reaction Poorly Paced Paris Presser Paves Way for PS4's Impressive 2016
Sony's show stumbles, but the future's bright
Paris Games Week 2015 brought the goods earlier today – but could it measure up to Sony's extraordinary E3 2015 press conference? The answer, unsurprisingly, is no – but the Japanese giant still delivered some big announcements and ably illustrated just how much variety there is on the PlayStation 4...
Opinion We're So Sick of Saving the Bloody World
Holding out for a hero
Hands up if you've got a headache from saving the world yet again? Yeah, us too. One pet peeve that's had Push Square Towers irritatedly animated over the past few weeks is the fact that every single video game in existence seems to feel the need to go big. Well, we're tired of preventing the apocalypse, and we'd like to see...
Out This Week Dragon Quest Heroes, Minecraft: Story Mode, Wasteland 2
Slime time
We're slap bang in the nucleus of the holiday rush right now, but this week's software lineup isn't brimming with blockbusters – it seems that all of the slightly more niche releases have settled upon the next few days to deploy. Whether it's the obnoxiously named Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below or the...
Feature Our Top 5 PS4 Games of EGX 2015
Birmingham's best and brightest
Even though half of our staff members returned home from EGX 2015 carrying inevitable illness, this year's show was an enjoyable one, featuring plenty of unreleased software to sample. We spent four days wrapping our hands around admittedly sweaty controllers, and when all was said and done, we sat down and decided...

First Impressions Eyes-On with PS4's Virtual Reality Headset Project Morpheus
An early look at exclusives London Heist and RIGS
We've known about Project Morpheus – the PlayStation 4's proprietary virtual reality headset – for what feels like an eternity now, so we're definitely reaching that point where it's time for Sony to stop talking about the possibilities for the peripheral, and start proving why it's so important...
Feature The Best PS4 Games of the Year So Far
Halfway heaven
In just under four months' time, the staff of Push Square Towers will descend into a nuclear bunker in an effort to convince editor Robert Ramsey that Toukiden: Kiwami is not one of the best titles of 2015. Seriously, though, we're already starting to discuss our favourite releases of the year here internally, and seeing as we're...
News Japan's Holding Back the PlayStation 4
"We're jealous of Europe and US for the high rate of PS4 sales"
While the PlayStation 4 is breaking sales records all over the globe, Japan is proving a particularly tough nut to crack. With the nation becoming increasingly enamoured with smartphones, Sony's really finding it difficult to get consumers to pay attention to its new console. And one...
Feature 10 PS4 Games We Want to Learn More About at Gamescom 2015
Cologne's calling
Sony's not going to Gamescom 2015 next week – at least, that's what the drama queens would have you believe.

Feature The Best Games on PS4 - 2015 Edition
Greatness awaits
With the champagne on ice ahead of the PlayStation 4's second birthday, we figured that it was high time that we took a look at the system's top twenty titles to date. Because of the ever-changing nature of the glorious games industry, we'll be updating this feature annually, rotating releases and no doubt adding new ones. As such,...
Poll What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of E3 2015?
Playing favourites
Wow, what an incredible E3 it's been. Many of the announcements at this year's sun drenched convention outstripped our wildest imaginations, and while the remainder of this year's lineup has been set in stone for some time, there's an enormous amount to look forward to over the coming years – including Shenmue III and Final...
Feature 10 of the Best PS4 Videos from E3 2015
Blinded by brilliance
E3 2015 almost had too many great videos to count, but we've somehow managed to cut our seemingly endless list of brilliant clips down to the ten best. Now, by ten best, we mean the very best of the best; these are the videos that we reckon defined this year's E3. That said, if you want to scour through almost every piece of...

Talking Point What Are Your Hopes and Fears for PS4, Vita at E3 2015?
Last minute nerves
Reminder: E3 2015 is upon us. If the special homepage wasn't already a good enough giveaway – nifty, eh? – then this editor's apocalyptic stress levels are a sure sign. As gaming fans, the reason that we all love the Los Angeles convention is because it allows us to dream and despair. There are the highs, like Jack Tretton...

The cream of the crop
We've got a backlog of articles as long as our legs, we're living on a diet of Pot Noodles and tea, and the rumour mill is rotating so fast that it's about to fly off its spindle – it must be E3 2015. While the industry always delves into a frenzy around this time of the year, we wouldn't be doing this job if we didn't enjoy...
Feature Five Ways Assassin's Creed Victory Can Stop the Series' Rot
The syndicate
It's rare for a renowned series such as Assassin's Creed to get tagged with middling review scores, but we slammed the disappointing Assassin's Creed Unity when it deployed last year. While there was a reasonable experience buried at the release's beating heart, the Parisian escapade also had a laundry list of flaws – the title's...
