News Perception Pits Your Senses Against a Dark Presence on PS4
Echo bluff
What if you were blind and your only means of "seeing" was via echolocation? You probably wouldn't head to a haunted house, where any noise stands the chance of attracting a dark presence, right? That's the mistake poor Cassie makes in Perception, an intriguing survival horror coming to PlayStation 4 from ex-BioShock and Dead Space...
News Has-Been Heroes Rediscover Their Mojo on the PS4
A-team
You may have seen Has-Been Heroes listed as part of the Nintendo Switch launch lineup, but the game is also coming to the PlayStation 4. It's the latest title by Trine developer Frozenbyte, but represents a bit of a departure for the firm, as it's a kind of roguelike strategy title in which you'll have to escort two princesses to the Princess...
News Puyo Puyo Tetris Clears Lines with Western PS4 Release
Build 'em up
The best news to come out of Nintendo's Switch reveal event? Puyo Puyo Tetris is getting a Western release on the PlayStation 4. There is a catch, though: the game will only be available physically on Sony's console -- presumably due to some licensing issues. It'll cost you $29.99. For those unfamiliar, this game crosses Puyo Puyo with...
News Sony's Glacier White PS4 Slim Sure Looks Ice
Launching this month in Europe

News The Plague Spreads to PS4 via Focus Home Interactive
Asobo Studio stretches its legs
Focus Home Interactive may be considered a budget publisher, but its portfolio is slowly starting to strengthen.

There's very little to go on at the time of typing, but the key art shows a...
News Dynasty Warriors 9 Chops Down an Entire Open World
Button basher adopts sandbox
It was written in the stars that Dynasty Warriors 9 would be announced during one of series veteran Robert Ramsey's student-esque sleeps. Thus, it's left upon this author's shoulders to hastily inform you that the ninth instalment in Koei Tecmo's swashbuckler has been revealed – and it's going open world. No platforms...
News Don't Let PETA See This PS4 Pinball Game
Squirrel flipkin
PETA is renowned for taking a dim view of the video game industry, so we doubt that this title about firing a poor squirrel across pinball tables is going to go down especially well. To be fair, this isn't a matter of mere animal cruelty: Momonga Pinball Adventures sees you assume the role of "flying squirrel Momo, and pals Panda...
News Walk with Dinosaurs in ARK Park on PlayStation VR Next Year

Everybody's Golf! Wild Arms! Arc the Lad! More!
Anything that Nintendo do, Sony do… Haha, let's not go there, eh?

PSX 2016 Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Plots Chloe's Return to PS4
She's teaming up with Nadine
Chloe Frazer is back in the adventuring fray, as she'll team up with Nadine Ross in the all-new Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.

PSX 2016 Nex Machina Is the New PS4 Game from the Makers of Resogun
Deus Nex

PSX 2016 The Last of Us: Part II Is Real on PS4
Survive on
You'd be reasonable assuming Sony couldn't possibly have anything else up its sleeve to end PSX 2016 with a showstopper. What could possibly top Uncharted: The Lost Legacy or, um, Knack 2? Well, it looks like the developer of the former wasn't content by revealing another chapter in its flagship franchise. Naughty Dog has also turned the...
PSX 2016 Marvel vs Capcom Infinite Teams Up with PS4 in 2017
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 available today on PS4

PSX 2016 Knack 2 Announced on PS4 to Everyone's Complete Surprise
Knack on wood
Knack was a fine 3D platformer. It stumbled with its story, struggled with repetition, and lacked challenge with its level design, but we think it had a lot of potential to improve. So, it was hard to believe that Mark Cerny's, err, most important legacy would ever receive a sequel, but against all odds, Knack 2 will be building its...
News Wii U Exclusive LEGO City Undercover Earns Its Badge on PS4
Cuffed to bits
First it was ZombiU, and now it's LEGO City Undercover: the Wii U fanboys would probably be fuming if Nintendo hadn't already ceased production of the catastrophic console. Writing on Twitter, Warner Bros has announced that the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto-inspired blockbuster will be setting a waypoint for the PlayStation 4 in...
News Uncharted 4: Survival Brings Co-Op to Naughty Dog's Opus at Last

News Sombra's Finally Been Officially Announced for Overwatch
Holding out for a Hero
Sombra hacked BlizzCon's opening ceremony today in order to reveal herself to the world; it would have made for a grand entrance if the new Overwatch arrival hadn't leaked weeks ago.

News Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 Brings More Goofy Naming Conventions to PS4
Sigh
There's a circle in Hell where Satan punishes sinners by forcing them to write Kingdom Hearts articles for eternity – Dante Alighieri just forgot to mention it in his Inferno. Clearly we got up to some bad stuff in a previous life, because there's Kingdom Hearts news coming out of Mickey Mouse's exaggerated ears right now. Sigh. So, it's...
News Amnesia: Collection Scares PS4 Silly from 22nd November

We told you so
After days of getting hammed in comments sections and across social media for referring to the next Red Dead game as Red Dead Redemption 2, guess what? The game is actually going to be called Red Dead Redemption 2. Excuse us while we go and round up all the smart arse remarks hurled our way over the last 48 hours. No, but...

News Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection Charms PS4 from 15th November
Italy awaits
Ubisoft just couldn't do it. The publisher had said that it wanted to give Assassin's Creed a break, and we'd let the French firm off the hook when it deployed those episodic side-scrolling games. But here we are: the holidays are approaching, and it's managed to pump out Assassin's Creed: The Ezio Collection just in time. The...

News Big City Stories Lays Foundations on PS4 from Next Week
Another brick in the wall
Hellfire Games previously made a city-builder type minigame for PlayStation Home, so it's no surprise to see it adapt that work natively for the PlayStation 4.

News Oh No! Darksiders' PS4 Remaster Has the Worst Subtitle in History
Gamers can't believe this crazy name
Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition was a terrible name, but we could appreciate the attempt at wordplay.

News OMG! Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Is Coming to PS4
Pop a power pill
Pac-Man Championship Edition was a masterpiece. For those that didn't play it, it took the basic rules of Pac-Man, and reformed them into a headache-inducing mess of happy hardcore and bright lights.
