Once a video wizard for Push Square Aaron (P) was replaced by Aaron (B) but we don't hold that against him. Aaron now works for Mirror Online, covering all the games he can.
Dicey Dungeons (& Dragons)
Republished on Wednesday 26th January, 2022: We're bringing this review back from the archives following the announcement of February 2022's PS Plus lineup. The original text follows. Just in time to gear us up for the 2022 launch of Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, one of the best Borderlands expansions ever is back to dazzle...
Video Convincing a Nintendo Fan to Buy a PS5
You know it makes (Dual)Sense
Believe it or not, there are some people out there who haven’t yet picked up a PlayStation 5 (and not just because they’re still a nightmare to get hold of). Alex Olney from our sister site, Nintendo Life, is one of these misguided souls. He claims to not need one seeing as a lot of first-party PlayStation...

Video Reboot, Remaster and Remake - What’s the Difference?
Blurred lines
It’s a question as old as time, but one that a lot of players still can’t seem to agree upon: what is the difference between a reboot, remaster, and remake? Whenever a classic PlayStation game is revived in some way, the cultural conversation surrounding it always begins by trying to determine what level of new treatment the...
Video The State of PlayStation VR in 2021
A different reality
The PlayStation 5 might be shiny and all, but another piece of important Sony tech still making waves (just about) is, of course, PSVR. The original headset launched in 2016, having recently celebrated its fifth anniversary on the market. As such, we found ourselves wondering: where does Sony’s take on virtual reality currently...
Video Is KartRider: Drift PlayStation's Answer to Mario Kart?
Boosting out of the Beta
Kart racing games certainly aren't as affluent as they used to be, but that hasn't stopped a slew of third-party developers from trying to capture the genre's magic. The latest attempt on PlayStation comes from Nexon, which is set to fully launch its free-to-play live service platform sometime in 2022. But does KartRider:...
You could be fine
When Terminator: Resistance first launched back in 2019, it was hard to ignore how much this glorified bit of fan-service was hampered by a lack of time and money. Sure, Teyon and Reef Entertainment had nailed the tone and atmosphere of the future war setting briefly glimpsed in Cameron’s movies, but it left a lot to be desired...
Video PS4 to PS5 Game Upgrades Like Uncharted are Messier Than They Ought to Be
Buried treasure
Earlier this week we got word of how the upgrade path for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection will work. But where other publishers and platform holders have made upgrades as easy as possible, PlayStation’s first-party suite of titles continue to require a spreadsheet’s worth of breakdown to work out what option is best for...
Movie Review Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City - Reshuffled Reboot Misses the Mark
Almost brain dead
Resident Evil fans have had a rocky ride over the years. Sure, the mainline games may have steadied the course with a return to true survival horror, but we’re still not that far removed from the dark days of Umbrella Corps, Resident Evil 6’s messy intertwined story, and worse yet, Paul W.S. Anderson’s progressively baffling...
Video Can Spider-Man Save Marvel's Avengers?
A great amount of responsibility
A lot has changed in Marvel’s Avengers since last September when it launched. And while it may not have excelled completely at being a successful live-service platform, through continued support by way of new Hero Events and story expansions, Square Enix has done all it can to do Earth’s Mightiest Heroes justice...
Guide Best PS4 Superhero Games
No spandex required
What are the best PS4 superhero games? Surely any one that imbues you with an amazing otherworldly power like flight, laser vision, or perhaps the ability to shoot sticky web fluid from your hands! Whatever your preferred way of saving the world, the good news is you’re never left wanting when it comes to wearing tight spandex...
Video Why Skyrim Is Still the Ultimate Open World Fantasy RPG, 10 Years Later
House of the Dragon
Some games come and go, but rarely does one come along and have such a cultural impact that players are still talking about it a decade on. Originally released for the PlayStation 3 on 11th November, 2011, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is absolutely one of those games. A fact that’s being celebrated by Bethesda today with the...
Video Which Call of Duty Game Is the Best?
The Franchise Wars strike back
Call of Duty: Vanguard launched this past Friday to once again transport players to the dramatic theatres of war set across WWII. Such an event gave video editors Liam and Aaron a good excuse to duke it out in another edition of Franchise Wars, in which both video editors battle it out to debate their favourite Call of...
Video PS Plus Games Not Working on PS Vita? Try This
Fix up
While PS Vita support may now have ended almost 10 years after the console originally released, we're convinced that there’s still life in the portable yet. That’s why it came as a bit of a shock recently to be greeted by two error codes when trying to play PS Plus games on the device. Both of which may prevent a certain sect of players...
Mini Review Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality (PS4) - Rickety Time Travel Title Struggles to Dazzle
Not quite the trip of a lifetime
Playing through Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality, we can't shake the feeling we've been here before. Maybe it’s because we’ve just travelled backwards in time. More likely, though, it's because this is an enhanced version of a previously released VR experience — only now with added David Tennant! Knowing this...
Video PlayStation Productions and the New Era of Video Game Adaptations
Uncharted approach
On-screen adaptations of video games are traditionally thought of as bad, but PlayStation Productions’ arrival on the scene indicates a company looking to change that. Yesterday gave us a small hint of what this new avenue for PlayStation may look like by way of the Uncharted movie’s first official trailer. However, with the...
Video DC Fandome Teases Greatness for Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad
We could be heroes
Typical. You spend six years waiting for just one Batman game to turn up, only for two games based on DC’s caped crusader to arrive at once. Yes, 2022 is very much shaping up to be a blockbuster year for Bruce and his Dark Knight alter ego, with Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League both making their way to...
Video 5 Ways PS Vita Was Ahead of Its Time
Sony's handheld system switched it up
With developers working tirelessly to take advantage of its unique feature-set, the PS Vita should have been a portable primed to succeed. Looking back, though, Sony’s second handheld never felt like it realised its full potential. It all started with that beautifully bright OLED screen, of course, presenting...
Video Which Far Cry Game Is the Best?
Franchise wars underway
Last week saw Far Cry 6 finally launch on PlayStation 5 and PS4, allowing players to set off on another sun-drenched and chaos-filled first-person adventure – this time set amongst the vistas of the Cuban-inspired Yara. This got us thinking, though: what are the best Far Cry games leading up to this point? Video editors...
Video Was 2011 the Best Year Ever for PlayStation?
It only does everything
When it comes to nailing down what are the best ever years for gaming history, the usual gamut of 2001, 1998, and sometimes 2013 are likely to pop up. However, when it comes to PlayStation being at the absolute height of its power, one of the years absolutely worth mentioning is 2011. Why? Well, it was the era of Kevin...
Guide Best PS4 Metroidvania Games
The very best Metroidvanias to get lost in on PS4
What are the best PS4 Metroidvania games? We ask because there’s never a bad time to indulge in such 2D platforming adventures, especially those that place emphasis on powering-up, exploring a large map, and often a fair amount of backtracking. Yes, if you enjoy discovering secrets and don’t mind...
