Get a head start in From Software's stunning PS4 exclusive

Talking Point Are You Spending More Money Than Ever on Digital Games?
Happy shopper
With every game available simultaneously on the PlayStation Store now, digital transactions are becoming big business for Sony – but this wasn't always the case. In the early days of the PlayStation 3, downloadable titles consisted mostly of bitesized experiences – timewasters designed to fill the gap between retail releases. This...
Feature 11 Games We Want to Play with PS4's Virtual Reality Headset
Morph than meets the eye
Republished on Sunday, 8th March 2015: We're bringing this feature back out of the archives following a big week for Project Morpheus at the Game Developers Conference. The original text follows. Originally published on Saturday, 22nd March 2014: Project Morpheus has been officially unveiled, and judging by the first batch...
Talking Point Is This the End for the PlayStation 3?
This isn't living
In just over eight months' time, the PlayStation 3 will turn nine. Sony's always made a point of stressing that it will support its home consoles for at least ten years apiece, and it's not going to break that promise with its previous generation behemoth. But with publishers starting to focus solely on new formats like the...

We need you (again)
We don't often ask for your help here at Push Square Towers, but occasionally we need a bit of feedback to make sure that we're all on the same page. Our previous reader survey was a resounding success – thank you to everyone that took the time to fill it in – and we've been using the data to help make the site a better...
Out This Week Dragon Ball XenoVerse, Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires
Over 9,000
This edition of Out This Week may be fashionably late again, but boy are we bringing the heat. Well, technically, we're not bringing anything – but, er, what we're trying to say is that a lot of good games are due out over the coming days. These include Dragon Ball XenoVerse, Resident Evil: Revelations 2, and more. It's also worth...
Talking Point How Important Is Game Length?
Time to find out
The Order: 1886 has caused a bit of a kerfuffle this weekend for supposedly being short, but how much does game length really matter? Some would argue that there's no point in spending money on a release that can be wrapped up in an evening or two, but many of us simply don't have the time to work through a 100 hour epic. It's a...
News Sony's Approach to Indies Is Good for the Entire Industry
Japanese giant is amazing, reckons Disco Pixel
Sony's been banging the indie drum hard for a little while now, but not everyone's willing to dance to its rhythm. There's a growing sentiment among PlayStation owners that the manufacturer's using smaller games to cover for the dearth of blockbusters in its stable, but a quick glance at its 2015 lineup...
Talking Point Do Review Scores Have a Future?
Number games
After an incredible 15 years – and more 8/10 jokes than we care to count – Eurogamer.net has dropped review scores. It's not the first site to do so – both Kotaku and Joystiq (RIP) ditched numbers and stars a while ago – but the news seems significant this time because our buddies from Brighton operate a more traditional...
Feature How Many of Our 2014 PlayStation Predictions Did We Get Right?
Keeping score
The first week of January is always a perfect period for reflection, so before we look forward to the big stories of 2015, we're taking time to see how many of our guesses from 2014 actually came true. Long-term readers may recall our big predictions post from last year, but don't worry if you've got the onboard storage space of a BBC...

Reader's choice
Sign it, seal it, and stick our stamp of approval on it: Game of the Year is finally over. We've spent the past few days polling your opinion on the best that PlayStation had to offer in 2014, and while there's been much anger pointed at the absence of DriveClub and Assassin's Creed Unity in our shortlist – we couldn't include...
Round Up Here's All of Our Game of the Year Coverage
Once more with feeling
With the holidays still in semi-swing, you were never going to stop us from squeezing one last feature out of our ongoing Game of the Year coverage. We put a ton of effort into this year's articles and videos, but figured that you may have missed the odd story while out and about over the Christmas break. Worry not, though,...

Game of the Year Platinum Trophy - Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor
Precious
2014's Game of the Year winner perhaps comes as a surprise, given that we weren't all that confident in its success when it was originally unveiled. Unsure if it was a movie tie-in or simply another in a long line of disappointing Lord of the Rings titles, a slew of intriguing trailers, conference appearances, and developer interviews meant...
Game of the Year Gold Trophy - inFAMOUS: Second Son
Fetch quest
Few games feel quite like inFAMOUS: Second Son. We forgive Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption the odd controller quirk because their sandboxes are so sizeable that they mask any shortcomings, but delicately guiding the dextrous Delsin 'Too Cool for School' Rowe through the dreary districts of Seattle is this PlayStation 4...
Game of the Year Silver Trophy - P.T.
Silent fright
Stealthily announced at Sony's Gamescom conference, P.T. was billed as a 'Playable Teaser' for a new first-person horror game by the fictional 7780s Studio. After the sort of frenzied investigation that only the Internet can provide, it was discovered that the daunting downloadable was in fact a demo for a new Silent Hill game directed...
Game of the Year Bronze Trophy - Dragon Age: Inquisition
Scale bound
Sadly, big budget RPGs are often in short supply these days, but when one finally comes along, it can turn out to be something special. Dragon Age: Inquisition is one such title, featuring a fantasy world that you can really sink your teeth into. As the leader of the Inquisition – an independent faction that's assembled to sort out...
Game of the Year Best PS4 Games of 2014
Greatness awaits
Sony would probably agree that the PlayStation 4's first year wasn't exactly vintage – but then, when does a console ever come flying out of the gates? From a first-party perspective, the platform holder pumped out some quality titles, but compared to its frankly frighteningly lineup in 2013, the past twelve months have fallen...
Game of the Year Best PS3 Games of 2014
Antiques roadshow
It's been a funny year for the PlayStation 3. While the system has received plenty of support in 2014, it feels like the attention of the industry has moved on. Cross-generation titles like Destiny and Far Cry 4 have all been advertised with the PlayStation 4 in mind, and sales have taken a tumble as a consequence. Despite what...
Game of the Year Best PS Vita Games of 2014
The whole world in your hands
For a format that's struggled in an age of smartphones and tablet games, the PlayStation Vita has carved out a committed niche of core gamers who love the handheld to death. We get a lot of requests here at Push Square, but number one with a bullet is more coverage for the Japanese giant's miniscule machine – and it's...
Feature We Wish You a Very Merry Christmas
Play another day
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas – which is handy, because when you read this, the big day will have arrived. Before you get back to peeling potatoes and opening presents, though, we just wanted to take advantage of the season to leave you a message thanking you for all of your support in 2014. Push Square continues...
Guide Watch Dogs PS4 Trophy Guide & Road Map
Hack your very own Platinum pot
Watch Dogs is easily the biggest PlayStation 4 release of the year so far. While inFAMOUS: Second Son was hotly anticipated as well, it’s taken two long years for Ubisoft to finally deliver the dystopian vision that it originally teased at E3 2012. Following a spate of delays, the release is available now – and
Talking Point What Are Your Favourite PlayStation Easter Eggs?
Sunny side up
We all know that Easter eggs are at their absolute best when they’re big, brown, and made out of chocolate. However, just because you can’t beat a sugary oval filled with Cadbury’s finest fondant, doesn’t mean that the tasty treats stashed inside video games aren’t also entertaining. We took a look back at 12 of the very best...
Feature 12 PS3 Hits We'd Like to See Remastered for PS4
Lick of paint
With content droughts always a concern shortly after the release of a brand new system, we predicted earlier in the year that 2014 would play host to a slew of PlayStation 3 re-releases. While this hasn’t quite played out just yet – with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition and Dead Nation: Apocalypse Edition being the most noti
