Random Deep Fake Puts Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst in Marvel's Spider-Man
Great power, great responsibility
These deep fakes are getting better – and, honestly, a lot creepier.

All but confirmed
One of PlayStation 3's best arcade racers is Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the Criterion-developed cops n' robbers game.

"We are not afraid of being outdated"
While Capcom is reinventing some of the survival horror classics of the 1990s with Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, there is still a demand for that classic approach to game design with fixed camera angles and tank controls.

News Ghost of Tsushima Has the Most Impressive Metacritic User Score of the Console Generation
For the Jin
We bloody love Ghost of Tsushima here at Push Square, but the open world adventure didn't resonate so well with everyone. The game sits at a very respectable but not quite mind-blowing 83 Metascore on Metacritic, but much like fellow PlayStation 4 exclusive Days Gone, Ghost has gone down brilliantly with its wider audience.

DualShock deficiency
We'd be hard-pressed to think of a more obvious example of a PlayStation 4 game so clearly optimized for play on PC than Hyper Scape.
