Kept you waiting, huh?
It's not been a great day for Konami, with Japanese newspaper Nikkei reporting some pretty nasty things about its corporate culture.

Out This Week Galak-Z, Submerged, AeternoBlade
Out of this world
It's hardly a vintage week for new releases in the PlayStation Nation, with all eyes pointed purposefully at Gamescom 2015 rather than Sony's storefront. Still, there are a handful of smaller digital downloads vying for your attention in the guise of Galak-Z and Submerged. The question is: what are you buyin'? Pick of the Week:...

News UK Sales Charts: PS4 Hardware Promotions Spur Software Sales
Like hot cakes
Sony's proving a particularly fierce competitor in the UK, as it refuses to let Microsoft get a foothold.

It launched a series of new bundles over the weekend, which spurred PlayStation software up the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 78
Bring on the Bratwurst
It's the calm before the storm otherwise known as Gamescom 2015, although Sony's press conference absence has left us pondering just how busy we're going to be over the coming days. With the likes of Mafia III and Horizon: Zero Dawn all lined up, though, we're sure that it's going to be a good one – even if it does feel like...

Jak the lad
It's no secret that Naughty Dog started work on a new Jak & Daxter game for the PlayStation 3.

News Mighty No. 9 Doesn't Look Much Better When Played Fast
Beck to front
The gameplay loop in Mighty No. 9 seems like it could be pretty alright, but we don't think that developer Inti Creates could have picked a blander art style for the Kickstarted release. This video shows a speed run of the opening level, and we love the boost to attack mechanic – but the whole thing has the appearance of a low budget...

News Japanese Sales Charts: PS4 Sales Dip as New Games Sell Better on PS3
The cycle continues
It's been said about a million times by now, but we'll say it again: the PlayStation 3 is one of the main reasons why the PlayStation 4 is unable to keep a solid foothold in the Japanese market. While Sony's last-gen console has almost tumbled out of existence here in the West, the Japanese are still buying most of their software...

News The Terminator Raises Hell in WWE 2K16 on PS4, PS3
Because video games
We'll let you into a little secret: wrestling sucks. The only way for 2K Sports to flog copies of its latest grappling simulation after last year's abomination is to toss in novelty characters like The Terminator, then – which is exactly what it's doing with WWE 2K16 on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. That's right, if you...

Same old story
We have officially hit that part of the summer where there's literally nothing to say about the UK sales charts.

LEGO Jurassic World, Batman: Arkham Knight, F1 2015,...
Push Rewind Journey PS4, Firmware Updates, and Tomb Raider
Wander wonder
Yet again, it's that time of the week where we recap all of PlayStation's hottest news. The problem is that, for the fourth Push Rewind running, there's not really an enormous amount to say. Yes, there was a new PlayStation 4 firmware update, but it offered little other than the usual stability guff. We suppose that Rise of the Tomb...

Keep Quiet
It's far from the biggest PlayStation 4 game released thus far, but we can sense Snake grimacing at Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain's beefy 25GB PlayStation 4 install from here.
