Cover-up girl
It’s fair to say that Western support for the PlayStation Vita has dwindled in the past year or so, setting the stage for several Japanese ports to step up and plug the hole. None, however, are more questionably sexualised than Monster Monpiece; a card game where leveling up monster girls by rubbing the handheld’s touchscreen in a...
Video What Were the Five Best PS4 Games at E3 2014?
You should know, you picked them
Remember our super-duper E3 2014 poll which we may or may not have forgotten to include Mortal Kombat X in? Well, we used that to help us pick our PlayStation Game of the Show. And now, because we were always taught to reuse waste, we’re milking the results one more time with this, well, super-duper look at the top...
Video Didn't Get in Destiny's PS4 Exclusive Alpha? Let Us Take You on a Tour
We explore Bungie's brave new world
Productivity has plummeted to an all-time low here at Push Square towers, as we recuperate from the excitement of E3 2014 by jabbering about upcoming PlayStation 4 escapade Destiny’s recent Alpha test. Some of us have even taken to creating custom armour sets based on the ones from the game, allowing us to...
Video Watch As We Recap May's Best PlayStation Games
Are you Red E?
The impending E3 convention may be all about the future, but this video editor’s still stuck in the past. Before you all dive into the comments to make fun out of this author’s dated fashion sense, though, we’re actually referring to our latest Game of the Month video, which covers the PlayStation releases deployed in May...
Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 - In Sheep's Clothing
A sheep in wolf's clothing
We’re just one episode shy of wrapping up the debut season of Telltale Games’ episodic Fables adaptation, and while we look to the final instalment to tie up loose ends and answer burning questions, it’s equally important that the penultimate chapter takes the time to set it up properly – and that it seemingly...
First Impressions Burning Bodies in The Evil Within on PS4
You're Mikami crazy
When legendary developer and horror game kingpin Shinji Mikami first unleashed the T-Virus onto the PSone in 1996, he not only managed to popularise the genre with mainstream audiences, but also founded a blockbuster franchise that would go on to sell millions. Some 18 years later, it could be argued that the long running...
Video Watch As We Recap April's Best PlayStation Games
Sea what you did there
Regular readers will recall that this dulcet toned editor was promised an all expenses paid trip to WrestleMania last month – a reward for lending a very capable larynx to the Push Square cause. Alas, no such tickets arrived, causing another minor melodrama in the office that resulted in not one but two glasses of spilt...
Rat trapped
Already available on the PlayStation 3 and via Valve’s computer-based Steam client, Ethan: Meteor Hunter features a plucky rat that’s bestowed with the power of time freezing and teleportation. Despite the zany premise, this side-scroller has already won one major award and been nominated for a number of others – but has this...
Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 3 - A Crooked Mile
Howl at the moon
It may have only been a couple of months, but the wait for Episode 3 in Telltale Games’ fairytale detective-‘em-up The Wolf Among Us has been agonising. The mind boggles at how the award winning studio even manages to juggle development of its various leviathan franchises at the same time, let alone make them impossible to put...
First Impressions Beating Up Siblings in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle
Keep it in the family
For the uninitiated, the constant wave of previously Japanese-only titles getting a Western release can be extremely daunting. Despite the recent successes of Persona 4 Golden, Catherine, and even the likes of Demon’s Souls, there still exists a barrier that very few people are willing to cross in the name of newer, more...
Video Watch As We Recap March's Best PlayStation Games
Ready, steady, wrestle
There were raised voices in the Push Square office this week, we’re afraid to reveal. Tensions were frayed after a busy month of big releases, and this video editor is ashamed to admit that he tipped over a table when gaffer Sammy Barker asked for yet another Game of the Month video. Fortunately, after a few smashed tea cups...
DLC Review Underwater Espionage in BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode Two
Wave goodbye
Videogame fans cried out in unison as industry legend Ken Levine announced that he’d be closing down beloved BioShock developer Irrational Games a few weeks ago. However, the office was not to be boarded up until he’d seen the third and final instalment of BioShock Infinite’s DLC out of the door. Now that the dust’s settled,...
Video Is TimeSplitters IV Firing onto PS4 This Year?
Leaked documents suggest so
Studio executives really need to be more careful. Following the accidental unveiling of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in a coffee shop last year, we’ve laid our grubby fingertips on a Ben 10-branded folder full of top-secret design documents for TimeSplitters IV. The papers reveal plenty about the long overdue...
Video Dark Souls II - A Gentleman's Guide to Co-Operative Etiquette
For immediate release
London, England – The Push Square Corporation, an upstanding broadcaster based in London, England, has today announced its latest programme: ‘A Gentleman’s Guide to Co-Operative Etiquette’. This entertaining and informative media aims to provide viewers with a crash course on the required level of decorum expected in...
Guide How Not to Die Quite As Much in Dark Souls II on PS3
This one's a video
Words are for weirdos who like books and stuff, so while you may have enjoyed our excellent Dark Souls II beginner’s guide from last week, there’s a chance that you may have struggled with all of the sentences. Fortunately, this intrepid video editor has returned with a must watch introduction to From Software’s unfair...
Review Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Kept us waiting
Hideo Kojima is one of the most talented and respected developers of all time. The patriarch of the Metal Gear franchise has led us on one Hell of a crazy ride over the course of the last year or so, that saw just as many twists, turns, and red herrings as the plots of the very games that he’s famous for. The end result of this...
Hands On Scouting Out Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes on PS4
Looking foxy
You’re no doubt sick and tired of reading about Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes’ running time, so we thought that we’d give you a break from that line of discussion, and focus on the actual game for a change. Having recently had a chance to go hands-on with Hideo Kojima’s gorgeous next-gen debut, we’ve compiled our...
Hands On Smoking Out Seattle in inFAMOUS: Second Son on PS4
Burning down the house
Holy smokes, it’s less than two weeks until you’ll be playing inFAMOUS: Second Son. A cynic may argue that the PlayStation 4’s first few months on the market have been dryer than the Sahara Desert, but Sucker Punch is aiming to finally light up your system with a showering of neon and smoke powers later this month. And...
Video Watch As We Recap February's Best PlayStation Games
Ready, teddy, go
Games, games, games. We may be staring headfirst into the abyss known as 'Marchmageddon', but there was still plenty to keep your DualShock controllers busy in February. Following on from yesterday’s delightful Game of the Month recap, we’re back with a video roundup for your eyes and ears to enjoy. If you like this, then you...
Review South Park: The Stick of Truth
The Elder Trolls
Licensed video game adaptations are rarely the stuff of legend. Films are easily the worst offenders, as you could probably list the number of decent attempts on one hand – although television properties have played host to a selection of stinkers as well. As such, we were cautious when we first caught wind [Not that kind – Ed]...
Hands On Traversing the Trenches of PS4 Shooter Wolfenstein: The New Order
Führious
1981 saw the release of Castle Wolfenstein, a very early Commodore 64 top-down stealth action title that found you angrily taking down the entire Nazi war machine singlehandedly via a series of small, pixelated rooms. Now, some thirty years after the series’ inception, Swedish studio MachineGames is looking to continue the veteran...
Hands On A Fresh Spawn's Journey Through the First Few Hours of Dark Souls II
Soul sister
The Souls series is not for the faint-hearted. Constant deaths, insane difficulty spikes, and an ever present sense of doom are just a handful of reasons behind the brand’s success among a growing niche of brave gamers. Somehow, developer From Software has managed to make its once masochistic franchise a bit of a blockbuster, and with...
Review The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 - Smoke And Mirrors
Bite me
When the first episode of Telltale Games’ fairytale-infused noire-esque thriller The Wolf Among Us first latched its jaws onto the PlayStation 3 last October, we were completely blown away by how well its comic book source material translated. Thankfully, the agonising four month wait for the story to continue has now concluded – but has...
Video Watch As We Recap January's Best PlayStation Games
What a Lara rubbish
January may have been sleepier than a kitten on a warm blanket, but our slender production budget just about stretched to another ‘Game of the Month’ clip – primarily because this video editor is being paid purely with hugs and hot milk. Alright, so it’s not bulging with blockbusters like previous episodes, but you should...
