Poll What Was Your Favourite PlayStation Game of 2013?
Your vote counts
We wrapped up our Game of the Year countdown earlier this week, announcing that Naughty Dog’s magnificent post-apocalyptic escapade The Last of Us had taken our overall Gold Trophy. This was the culmination of several days behind-the-scenes planning, as we worked through our review backlog to prepare a shortlist of cont
Game of the Year Watch Us Recap the Top Three PlayStation Games of 2013
Like a Channel 4 countdown in a fraction of the time
Game of the Year ain’t over until video editor Ben Potter renders one final YouTube wrap-up – and that’s exactly what the straight-talking movie man’s gone and done. That’s right, with our fictional Gold Trophy predictably presented to tear jerking undead-‘em-up
Game of the Year Gold Trophy - The Last of Us
It can't be for nothing
We’d love for this article to come as a pleasant surprise, but we suspect that it’s more obvious than a brick to the face. The Last of Us felt like a Game of the Year winner when it lurched onto the PlayStation 3 all the way back in early June, and nothing has really topped it in our eyes in the six or so months since...
Game of the Year Silver Trophy - Resogun
Save the last humans
Not just the best PlayStation 4 game currently available, but also one of the best releases published on a Sony platform in 2013, the brilliant Resogun rocketed to the top of our internal poll like a firework doused in gasoline. Finnish outfit Housemarque once again proved that it’s the master of the humble shmup, repurposing...
Game of the Year Bronze Trophy - BioShock Infinite
God only knows
Bold, brash, and brimming with more out-of-place Beach Boys records than a music store aimed at industrial rock fans [Bleurgh – Ed], it’s hardly surprising that BioShock Infinite soared to the summit of our Game of the Year poll speedier than protagonist Booker DeWitt when strapped into a bizarre lighthouse contraption. Irrational...
Game of the Year Best PlayStation 4 Games of 2013
Playing with power
It seems a bit strange to be selecting the best annual software for a system that's only been available for around a month, but consistency means that our Game of the Year countdown demands a PlayStation 4 category. This time last year the platform was little more than a pipedream, but the hot new hardware has bullied the...
Game of the Year Best PlayStation Vita Games of 2013
Viva la Vita
The past twelve months have proved mixed for Sony's miniscule machine. While the platform holder managed to put an end to the disappointing software droughts that plagued the PlayStation Vita in 2012, the portable powerhouse failed to really realise its sales potential yet again – despite a sizeable price drop and some stellar...
Game of the Year Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013
This is living
It may be ending the year as the tired old video game veteran, but the PlayStation 3 can humbly hold its disc slot aloft, as this has been an outstanding year for the former flagship format. We know it's a countdown cliché to claim that it was a challenge to cut our list of Game of the Year candidates down to a manageable integer,...
News We'd Just Like to Wish You All a Very Merry Christmas
Play another day
The carpet of discarded wrapping paper beneath your feet and the ill-fitting party hat atop your head suggests that your Christmas is well underway. As we write this a few hours before the big day, we’ve got our fingers crossed that everything goes to plan for you and your families. However, before you get back to your roast...
Feature Our Five Most Wanted PS4, PS3, and Vita Titles from Eurogamer Expo 2013
Future stars
We rarely agree on anything. Spend an afternoon in our office, and you’re much more likely to find us arguing over the last custard cream than working in composed quiet. As a consequence, we were dreading holding an internal poll for our five most anticipated PlayStation tiles from the Eurogamer Expo last week, but the ensuing...
News Grand Theft Auto Online's Character Creator Is Clever, But Very Clunky
Parent trap
The best and worst thing about Rockstar's games is that they’re different. As noted in our review, Grand Theft Auto V is an exceptional adventure, with the kind of attention to detail that you simply wouldn’t find in any other release. However, it’s also letdown – no matter how slightly – by the fact that it’s a bit of a pain...
Guide Here's How to Access Grand Theft Auto Online, When the Servers Actually Work
Failed to start job
Furthering developer Rockstar Games’ reluctance to do anything by convention, accessing Grand Theft Auto V’s hotly anticipated multiplayer mode is almost as complicated as quantum physics. In order to give you a helping hand, we’ve put together this handy walkthrough to get you connected to the online iteration of sunny Los...
Guide How to Expand Your Grand Theft Auto V Property Portfolio for Free
Who said buying a house was hard?
While it may be tough to earn some serious paper through traditional criminal methods in Grand Theft Auto V, this property portfolio enhancing exploit is well worth your time. As detailed in the step-by-step video below, you can buy up much of Los Santos’ real estate without opening your wallet – and you don’t...
Guide How to Be a Pimp in Grand Theft Auto V's Atomic Blimp
Flight of fancy
You’ve no doubt seen it on the horizon, but how do you actually get to pilot that pesky Atomic Blimp in Grand Theft Auto V. If you pre-ordered the game, you should have access to a special code that unlocks the unorthodox aircraft, but it can still be a little tricky to access. In order to make things as brazen as a big blue...
News Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Has Enough Content to Sink a Ship
Lots to see and do
Ever since the original Assassin’s Creed got hammered for lacking variety, Ubisoft has been working hard to ensure that the series is packed with plenty of things to do. That appears to be reaching a climax in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, as this ten minute video demonstrates just a handful of the activities that you can...
News Glug Some Grog with the Cast of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Drunk on dialects
Our overseas readers will do well to study this brand new Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag video, as it very much provides a crash course on the various British accents. Acting as an introduction to the game’s main cast, the footage features an Englishman, a Scotsman, and a Welshman. All we need now is an Irishman, and we’ve...
News This Lovely Rayman Legends Trailer Will Bring You to Life
Whistling wonder
Few things in life are more utterly joyful than this Rayman Legends launch trailer. The video shows the legless hero running through a spate of different stages, and the colourful visuals and chirpy soundtrack will be certain to plaster a smile across your face. There’s even a mention of our sister site Nintendo Life – if you...
News Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Brings War to the Water
Ocean commotion
Forget about all of that free-running nonsense, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag looks like it’s going to be at its best when you’re engaging in combat on the ocean. This brand new video shows piratical protagonist Edward Kenway enjoying a spot of water-based warfare, as he takes down a couple of enemy boats and a fortress in...
GamesCom 2013 Relive PlayStation President Andrew House's Xbox One Jab
Sick burn
We suppose that it wouldn’t be a PlayStation press conference without a subtle dig at the competition. Sony’s been mocking Microsoft ever since SCEA president Jack Tretton raised the roof at E3 2013 with the PlayStation 4’s used game policies, so it was no real surprise to see group gaffer Andrew House take a shot at its
GamesCom 2013 RIME Fuses All of Your Favourite Games in One Beautiful PS4 Sandbox
Sunshine and sand
GamesCom 2013 played host to a handful of truly tasty looking titles from Sony’s external development network, but Tequila Works’ gorgeous RIME totally stole the show. Still very much shrouded in mystery, the PlayStation 4 adventure looks like the outcome of an illicit threesome between ICO,
GamesCom 2013 Mark Cerny Talks PS4, the 'World's Most Powerful Console'
Quicker, economical, and efficient
According to the man that designed it, the PlayStation 4 is the world’s most powerful games console. Lead system architect Mark Cerny stepped onto Sony’s stage at GamesCom 2013 to talk up the next generation platform – and also model his designer spectacles. While the development legend didn’t have much new...
GamesCom 2013 Check Out Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Being Played on Vita
In the Animus
Remote Play is undeniably one of the most exciting features of the PlayStation 4, but we were promised something similar on the PlayStation 3. As such, many have questioned whether the ability to stream next generation games to the PlayStation Vita will actually work. While this Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag demonstration doesn’t...
Feature Sony's PlayStation 4 Reveal - Did It Meet Our Expectations?
Mulling things over
Just moments before Wednesday’s big PlayStation 4 press conference, we rounded up as many Push Square staff members as we could get our hands on, in order to discuss our hopes, dreams, and fears for Sony’s next generation platform. Now, with the console blown wide open, we’ve repeated the more-challenging-than-it-sounds...
Feature Sony's PlayStation Meeting - Our Hopes, Dreams, and Fears for PlayStation 4
Laying it on the line
In just a few short hours, we’ll almost certainly get our first glimpse at the PlayStation 4. Sony’s widely publicised 20th February press conference is scheduled to start at 18:00PM EST, and we’re awaiting the event with bated breath. But while we don’t possess the power to push the clocks forward, we can make the wait...
