There are more games launching on the PlayStation Store than ever before, but many people are having problems actually purchasing them.

The...
News Destiny's Story Was Stitched Together Using Existing Assets in Less Than a Year
Surprise
Well who would have thunk it? According to a massive report from Kotaku's always informative Jason Schreier, Destiny as we know it was cobbled together in a very short space of time following the decision to scrap its original story. Sources say that upon showing Bungie's top brass a 'supercut' of the title's major plot points, the senior...

News Dragon Quest Builders Continues to Look Like a Charming Japanese Take on Minecraft
What else did you expect?
Minecraft must be doing something right, seeing as it's one of the most popular video games every released, but that's not necessarily why we're liking the look of incoming copycat Dragon Quest Builders. Judging from its latest PlayStation 4 screenshots, we reckon that it all looks rather charming, and the way that the game...

News UK Sales Charts: PS4 JRPGs Infiltrate Best Sellers List
Phoenix down
Even though this author isn't necessarily the biggest fan of Japanese role-playing games, it's really nice to see the genre infiltrating this week's UK sales charts.

Push Rewind No Man's Sky Rumours, Tales of Zestiria, Dragon Quest Heroes
What A Week
And thus concludes a gigantic week in the PlayStation Nation. There wasn't a whole lot of hot news this time – a juicy No Man's Sky rumour aside – but we made up for it with more reviews than you can possibly imagine. A busy week, then – and it's only going to busier. Reviews: Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the...

Weirdness Yakuza as a Live Performance Looks Suitably Mental
The real Dragon of Dojima
A stage show that the editors of this very site would have paid to see purely for the experience, 'Yakuza' obviously ties in to the fantastic action role-playing game series of the same name. Featuring staple characters such as protagonist Kazuma Kiryu and the crazy Goro Majima, the show was unleashed on the Japanese public...

Given the name, we'd expect stuff...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Remain Reasonable as Uncharted Climbs High
Hanging on in there
There's a cheeky little grin on Nathan Drake's face right now as his Uncharted Collection almost scrambled to the summit of last week's Japanese software charts. The PlayStation 4 exclusive leapt into third place selling through 24,867 copies, which isn't too bad. Meanwhile, FIFA 16's launch in the Land of the Rising Sun saw it...
News We Really Hope Bungie Isn't Mucking About with Destiny's Microtransactions
New patch apparently reveals in-game buffs that you can buy
This is how it starts, isn't it? Destiny's newest patch introduced a new, microtransaction-based service that allows you to buy cosmetic items with real money. With 18 fresh emotes on offer - which, to be fair, are actually pretty cool - it all seems rather harmless, but after mining the...
Store Update 13th October 2015 (North America)
Stop! We're already dead
We sincerely hope that you've topped up your PlayStation wallet appropriately, because this week's North American store update is an absolute monster. From the likes of Dragon Quest Heroes right the way through to Rocket League DLC, we doubt that you'll get to the bottom of this list with all of your balance intact. PS4...
Store Update 13th October 2015 (Europe)
Buyers be aware
It's insanity on the European PlayStation Store this week – and we're not referring to Goosebumps' wince-inducing £54.99 price point. No, we're more referencing the sheer volume of content, which spans everything from Minecraft: Story Mode all the way through to The Talos Principle and
Review Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax (PS3)
Anticlimax
Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax has made the leap West.

Featuring 14 playable characters and 23 more cameo...
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...
News Dragon Quest Builders' Box Art Is a Bit of a Bust
Cheap and cheerful
Dragon Quest Builders is going to sell a frightening number of copies in Japan when it launches early next year on every viable PlayStation platform, but its box art is a bit rubbish. Gematsu spotted the artwork on a Japanese product page, which sports a mixture of awesome main character sketches and a ClipArt-esque villain. It...
News UK Sales Charts: Uncharted PS4 Nabs the 8th Biggest PS4 Launch of 2015
But can't beat FIFA
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection couldn't remove FIFA 16 from the top of the UK sales summit, but it was popular enough to earn the accolade of 8th biggest PlayStation 4 launch of 2015. The sumptuous remaster slotted in nicely in second on the British best sellers list, with the likes of Destiny: The Taken King and LEGO...
Push Rewind Far Cry Primal, PS4 Price Drop, Star Wars Battlefront
Feel the force
We're more or less in that nitty-gritty part of the year where news doesn't happen quite so much because games are bloody well coming out. That said, Ubisoft did manage to drop a mammoth-sized bombshell in the form of Far Cry Primal earlier in the week, while Sony rounded things off with a PlayStation 4 price drop. Busy week, then...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 88
Time to move on
It's a weekend of change here at Push Square Towers, as your humble host goes through the arduous but exciting process of upgrading from a computer that's been in use since 2006. This PC was not only used to design the very first iteration of this website – the files are still on it – but has watched it rise from hobbyist blog to...
Poll Which Uncharted Game Would You Crown as Your Fave?
Prized plunder
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection is out globally today, which means that surround sound systems around the world will be emitting those famous words "oh crap" a not-so insignificant number of times over the coming weeks. Of course, with the PlayStation 4 compilation stirring fond memories, it's perhaps a timely period for us to...
News Play Hundreds of PS3 Games on Your PS4, Vita in the Free PlayStation Now Trial
Subscriptions cost £12.99 per month
Have you been anti-PlayStation Now from the outset? Well, the service now has an opportunity to win you over if you're in the UK, as Sony's just rolled out a subscription option with a free trial. For the not-so extortionate price of £12.99 per month, you'll be able to stream hundreds of PlayStation 3 games to...

That's more like it
After two weeks of selling next to nothing, the PlayStation 4 is finally back on top of the Japanese charts following its very recent price cut. Sony's home console shifted a very respectable 46,177 units last week, and with any luck, the company will be hoping that the price reduction will have a continuous impact as we move...
News Big PS4, PS3 Discounts Hit EU PlayStation Store
Diablo III's at its lowest ever PSN price
There are some decent deals going down on the European PlayStation Store today, and although the majority of them only apply the ageing PlayStation 3 and its vast library, it's still worth checking out. On Sony's newest machine, you can loot Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition for it's lowest...
Store Update 6th October 2015 (North America)
All of the games
There's only one word for this week's North American PlayStation Store update: massive. Highlights include Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Transformers: Devastation, and Rock Band 4 – but Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance and Super Meat Boy are worth a shout, too. And that doesn't even cover half of the lineup. PS4 Games:...
Store Update 6th October 2015 (Europe)
New releases rolling out
It's an absolutely gigantic week on the European PlayStation Store, with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection obviously at the front of all our minds.

Feature The PS4 Game That's Being Built in a Hotel Lobby
Inn the house
In the lobby of a Greater London hotel, a small team of fledgling developers are making a PlayStation 4 game. While this may sound like perfect fodder for a future Lenny Henry commercial, it's the real-life story of De Mambo – a so-called "spicy, single-screen action platformer" currently going through some eleventh hour crowd...
News Your Free PlayStation Plus Games Can Be Downloaded Now
Yay?
October's free PlayStation Plus games are available now – well, in Europe at least.

Expect them to be available in North America when the PlayStation Store updates a little later in the day. We've...

News Metal Gear Solid Online Starts Sneaking to PS4, PS3 Systems
Undercover arrival
You may well need Otacon's assistance to understand Metal Gear Online's rollout, as Konami sure as heck ain't made things easy. Still, as far as we can tell, the online component for Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is being rolled out globally as we type, with a new 654.8MB patch kicking things off. This includes new...
News Yep, Destiny Is Getting Microtransactions
They're purely cosmetic, for now
Okay, so Destiny's expansions have always been overpriced, but the argument is that it could have a subscription fee if it wanted - but it doesn't. We don't necessarily agree with that analysis, but we've always said that microtransactions could very easily be implemented into the structure of the shooter, and that...
News UK Sales Charts: LEGO Dimensions Constructs a Path into Second
Build me up, buttercup
LEGO Dimensions is the fastest selling toys-to-life title to release this year, comfortably overcoming the launch numbers for Skylanders Superchargers and Disney Infinity 3.0. In fact, the new kid on the block has enjoyed the third best UK opening in the genre as a whole, which must have publisher Warner Bros – already...
Push Rewind PlayStation Plus, PS4 Firmware Update 3.00, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5
Highs and lows
Weeks don't come much bigger than this in the PlayStation Nation, with headlines hitting with frightening frequency over the past seven days. Despite being busy, though, it's all been a bit disappointing; October's big PlayStation Plus update looks light, PlayStation 4 firmware update v3.00 proved to be a letdown, and Tony Hawk's Pro...
Video Top 4 PlayStation Games - September 2015
Paper, boy
Nothing hacks this video editor off more than preparing for a Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain victory – only for Tearaway: Unfolded to come out of nowhere with its cardboard cuteness and snatch the Game of the Month win. Fortunately, your humble host improvised – stay tuned for footage of Push Square's very own paper-based...
Round Up Push Square's September 2015 Reviews
Showtime
September seemed to race by, and not just because we abandoned our posts to play some games at EGX 2015, either. As they say, time flies when you're having fun, and there was certainly some enjoyment to be had with last month's release schedule. Packed with a few heavy AAA hitters and a slew of solid, smaller titles, here at Push Square we...

Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of September 2015
Espionage, paper cuts, time travel, and destined comebacks

News Persona 5 Has Some Absolutely Incredible Persona Designs
Personal taste
It's safe to say that without its incredible art direction, the Persona series wouldn't be quite as memorable as it is. Whether it's the characters, the environments, or even the menu screens, this is a franchise that's absolutely dripping with style - and Persona 5 will be no different. Five main party members have been detailed so...

Store Update 30th September 2015 (Europe)
Epic bail
Sony puts less effort into these European PlayStation Store update posts with each passing week – but then we suppose it is a thankless task, seeing as they're always followed by a stream of frustrating comments. Either way, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is the biggie this week. It apparently sucks. PS4 Games: Arcade Archives Moon...
Store Update 29th September 2015 (North America)
Pull shapes
It's not the most impressive week on the North American PlayStation Store when the broken Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5 is the biggest highlight, but then we suppose specific audiences would shout that NBA 2K16 or Persona 4 Dancing All Night deserve the recognition. Whatever your poison, make sure you let us know in the comments section...
News Japanese Sales Charts: Vita Remains Viable As PS4 Prepares Itself for Rebirth
Calm before the storm
The PlayStation 4's taken another tumble as its Japanese price drop nears, selling through just over 4000 units. Sony's newest console should see something of a rebirth once the cut hits early next month, but it remains to be seen whether or not the price drop will have a lasting positive effect on sales without any blockbuster...
News October's PlayStation Plus Lineup Is Going to P*** People Off
Oh dear
Oh no! Oh no! Batten down the hatches, adopt the foetal position, and keep out of every PlayStation owner's way – because next month's PlayStation Plus update really is a bad one. There's been plenty of criticism pointed at Sony's service over the past 18 months or so, but we've always felt that there have been redeeming qualities to the...
News October PlayStation Plus Games to Be Revealed Very Soon
What could possibly await us?
Can you believe that we're only a day away from October? Despairing at how fast life passes us by aside, we've usually had confirmation of next month's PlayStation Plus games by now, but there's been no word of what's on the menu yet. Of course, Sony's never been one to stick to particular dates, so it's no surprise...
News PlayStation Dominates EDGE's Greatest Ever Games
Cream of the crop
World regarded rag EDGE has compiled a list of the 100 greatest ever video games – and PlayStation has secured four of the top five slots. Dark Souls topped the list, with Grand Theft Auto V, The Last of Us, Bloodborne, and Half-Life 2 rounding out the top five. Sony must be rubbings its hands over that lineup – especially with...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 16 Shoots Straight to the Top of the League
Back of the net
There are absolutely no surprises in this week's UK sales chart, as FIFA 16 has rifled one right into the top corner – and finished top of the league. Sales of the soccer simulation were slightly down compared to last year's entry, but it sold best on the PlayStation 4, and by all accounts still did pretty darn well...
Push Rewind Uncharted PS4, EGX 2015, and PlayStation Plus
Catching up
It's been a different kind of week here at Push Square Towers, as we've been out on the road sampling all of the gaming morsels on display at EGX 2015 this weekend. Hopefully we managed to tide you over with a hearty helping of hands-on impressions, though, from Mirror's Edge Catalyst right the way through to Ratchet & Clank. Here...

There's good news coming out of TwitchCon 2015 today, then, as it's been announced that a new client will deploy on the...
News Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Won't Ship with a Campaign on PS3
Blacklisted
If you're still killing your free time on the PlayStation 3 and had high hopes for Call of Duty: Black Ops III this November, you're going to be a wee bit disappointed with what ships - if you're a single player fan anyway. Activision and Treyarch has announced that the last-gen iteration of the futuristic shooter won't be getting a...
News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Numbers Hit New Low as Price Drop Nears
All in good time
The PlayStation 4's been ticking along in its native Japan for some time, but it rarely racks up any amazing numbers unless a slew of big new-gen games all launch within a few weeks of each other. Last week's belated figures make for some rather dire reading, then, as Sony's latest box managed to hit its lowest total in months. The...
News Batman and The Last of Us Head Big PS4 Deals in EU PSN Sale
Crash Bandicoot and Spyro also up for grabs
Bit of a weird sale, this one, as Sony's slashed the price on a load of different titles that range from the recent Batman: Arkham Knight to the retro Crash Bandicoot. Speaking of which, you can pick up the caped crusader's latest for £39.99, which isn't great, but at least there are several better deals...
Store Update 22nd September 2015 (North America)
Take your pick
Anyone else noticed the curious increase in PSone Classics on the North American PlayStation Store of late? Interesting that, isn't it? Not that this week's selection of Puzzle Star Sweep and, er, Racing is worth getting giddy about – but it almost seems like Sony's gearing up for something, doesn't it? Hmm. PS4 Games: Afro...
News Kinda Funny Games Returns to the PlayStation Podcasting Scene

Naturally we think that Push Square is the best PlayStation website on the net, but we're not oblivious to the great content available elsewhere.

Store Update 22nd September 2015 (Europe)
Back of the net
European PlayStation Store update cliché #112: it's a humdinger of a week on Sony's virtual plaza. FIFA 16 is perhaps the hottest highlight this time, but spare a thought for SOMA and Curve Digital's big Instant Indie Collection, too. What are you buying? PS4 Games: EA SPORTS FIFA 16 (Out 22/09/15, varies by...
Poll Has Destiny Won You Back With The Taken King?
Is the cryptarch calling?
Destiny: The Taken King is out and fans of Bungie's shooter have probably spent their last weekend grinding themselves into dust.

News UK Sales Charts: Destiny: The Taken King Takes the Crown
More than half the copies sold on PS4
Activision unveiled some pretty impressive statistics for Destiny: The Taken King last week, so it's no surprise to see the first-person semi-sequel shoot to the top of the UK sales charts. The game sold best on the PlayStation 4 – surprise, surprise – scooping up a whopping 57 per cent of the sales...

While at the time of writing it seems that the issue is easing, Sony's own status website notes that its...
Weirdness This Is How Big Boss Would Look in Quiet's Clothes
Haven't got a stitch to wear
There's been much controversy over Quiet's threads – or her lack thereof – in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, but perhaps things would be more tolerable if Big Boss donned her outfit instead. We're making no further observations on this artwork as we quite enjoy our ability to breathe, but here's one artist's...

News Destiny: The Taken King's Raid Has Already Been Conquered
The king has fallen
Raids, as this author understands them, are the uber-complex end-game missions in Destiny that are supposed to take weeks to conquer.

TGS 2015 Metal Gear Solid V Is Getting Its Very Own Horse Armour
We're not horsing around
Back when downloadable content was a controversial subject – when's it ever not been? – you may recall The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion prompting punters to pull out their pitchforks due to its horse armour add-on. Well, either Konami wasn't paying attention or it's taking the p***, because Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom...
