E3 2015 World of Final Fantasy Brings Square Enix's Beloved Universe to PS4, Vita
What a world
A surprise announcement at Sony's E3 press conference - and not just because it's coming to Vita - Square Enix is developing a turn-based role-playing game known as World of Final Fantasy. The title, which is incredibly cute, celebrates the, er, world of Final Fantasy. The release's debut trailer is a short one, but we're certainly...
E3 2015 Firewatch's PS4 Trailer Is Smart, Stunning, and Scary
Catching fire
One of the more innocuous announcements at Sony's impressive E3 press conference today was that indie darling Firewatch will be making its console debut on PlayStation 4. The title sees you playing as a volunteer fire lookout officer who discovers mysterious occurrences in the wilderness. Your only means of communication is through...
E3 2015 Media Molecule's New Game Dreams Lets You Recreate Your, Er, Dreams
Dreams really do come true
In an E3 press conference packed with stellar announcements, Media Molecule's new PlayStation 4 title Dreams stood out as one of the most bizarre and exciting. The Guilford-based developer's latest project sees you using the Dualshock 4 to shape and mold any object you can imagine. You can then bring your masterpiece to...
E3 2015 Horizon: Zero Dawn Is All About Killing Giant, Mechanical Dinosaurs
And it's a PS4 exclusive
We've known that Horizon was in production for about a year now, but actually seeing Guerilla Games' new IP in action has shown us that it very well may be a big hitter for the PlayStation 4. It's clear that Sony has faith in the project, too, as it was the second game to be shown off during its press conference. After...
E3 2015 Are We Dreaming? Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Coming to PS4
Wait what
We have no words, only feelings. In an announcement that was rumoured, but we couldn't possibly believe, Final Fantasy VII is being remade on PlayStation 4. No, really, it is - and we're not talking about the PS4 remaster. An actual remake of Cloud and co.'s epic journey. All we have right now is a CG trailer, but honestly, that's enough...
E3 2015 Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands Delves into the Drug Cartel
Busted
Just when you thought you couldn't get enough open world third-person shooters with games like Tom Clancy's The Division from Ubisoft, the French publisher injected yet another one into its conference right before it ended with Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Admittedly, this is quite an interesting premise for the squad-based shooter...
E3 2015 For Honor Brings Massive Battlefields and Medieval Hack and Slash Gameplay to PS4
Stomping ground
Arguably the biggest surprise at Ubisoft's E3 2015 press conference was a gritty medieval-themed PlayStation 4 title named For Honor. The game melds huge battlefields and tons of computer controlled soldiers with multiplayer play, as you pick up big swords, wear massive suits of armour, and smash your foes into oblivion. The French...
E3 2015 South Park: The Fractured But Whole Is Swearing Up a Storm on PS4
Pre-orders are available now
Bethesda did a great job kicking off its presser with some gory, gutsy footage of DOOM - but we think that Ubisoft may have taken the cake by pulling out Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The comedic duo took to the stage to announce that last year's South Park: The Stick of Truth will be getting a sequel, which will delve...
E3 2015 Unravel Is a 2D Platformer With a Touching Story
EA's Wooly World
Jokes were abundant throughout EA's presser, but as a clearly nervous developer pulled a doll made of yarn from his coat pocket, we seriously contemplated turning off the stream - thank goodness things picked up once some gameplay was shown. Unravel looks pretty great, to be frank. What we're dealing with, it seems, is an artsy...
E3 2015 Whelp, Dark Souls III Will Be The Last Game in the Series
Prepare to cry
After the release of Bloodborne earlier this year - as well as the recently announced Dark Souls III which is set to launch in early 2016 - some have expressed concern that From Software's distinctive brand of mega-difficult game might be releasing too often. However, this fear seems to be unfounded, as the studio has recently...
E3 2015 Yes, Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 Is Coming to PS4
Developer is aiming for a Spring 2016 release
Not much of a surprise, this one. PopCap Games already hinted at a sequel to Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare a while back, so we were expecting to see something at E3. The title made its appearance during Microsoft's conference, which makes sense - as you may

Michonne accomplished
Just when you thought Telltale Games couldn't get any more prolific, it announces an entirely new game.

Series creator...
E3 2015 Dishonored: Definitive Edition Sneaks onto PS4 This Fall
All the DLC and some snazzy visuals
The rumours are true, turns out. After showing off the likes of Dishonored 2, Bethesda announced that a new-gen Definitive Edition of 2012's Dishonored is coming to the PlayStation 4 this autumn, or fall, for you Americans. It was a rather brief announcement, however, as tonight's focus was clearly on new games...
E3 2015 Dishonored 2 Slinks onto PS4 With Two Playable Characters
Pretend to be surprised, please
After a heartbreaking accidental reveal - which will no doubt go down in E3 history - Bethesda announced at its E3 press conference tonight that Dishonored 2 is indeed a video game which exists. It also confirmed that it will be available for
E3 2015 DOOM Snapmap Lets You Create and Share Your Own Personal Hell
LittleBigDOOM
Bethesda opened its inaugural E3 press conference with a rather impressive, and astoundingly gory, demo of its reboot of the DOOM franchise. Arguably one of the most exciting announcements, though, was of a feature which allows you to create and share your own maps and levels. Titled Snapmap, this new mode gives you what appears to be...
E3 2015 YouTube Gaming Makes Twitch, Er, Twitch
Google reveals new streaming initiative
Twitch may be trying to laugh off YouTube Gaming's big announcement today, but there will be a lot of businessmen with furrowed brows right now.

News Shadow Warrior 2 Will Sate Your Will for Wang
Wood you look at that
Camp first-person affair Shadow Warrior will be getting a sequel, Devolver Digital has revealed.

The series stars a character named Lo Wang, which should tell you...

News Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops III Will Take Aim at PS3

News Thumper Will Probably Keep You Up All Night on PS4
Magical mystery tour
Thumper is a 'rhythm violence game', and it's coming to PlayStation 4 at some point next year. Developed by Drool, the title's premise sounds absolutely bonkers. According to the studio, you're placed in control of a 'space beetle' and you need to navigate through psychedelic worlds. We admit, the concept's a bit difficult to...

News Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair Brings Buggy Slideshows to PS4
EDF! EDF! EDF!
Earth Defense Force's eternal appeal will always be its less-than-stellar presentation. We're not sure whether we find XSEED Games' promise of better performance in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 instalment Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair appealing or not, then – but having read similar pledges for previous...
News Senran Kagura: Estival Versus Will Raise Eyebrows in the West on PS4, Vita

News Skylanders: SuperChargers Takes a Sharp Turn onto PS4, PS3 This September

News Fallout 4 Is Official, the Wasteland Is Coming to PS4
Bethesda's latest leaks early
Fallout 4 has been officially acknowledged after years upon years of speculation from the gaming community, but perhaps not in the way that we were expecting.

News Of Course There's Going to Be a Samurai Warriors 4: Empires on PS4, PS3, and Vita
What did you expect?

Much like just about every other mainline Warriors title, the sengoku period slasher will be getting its own Empires spin-off. It'll be marching into Japanese stores on the 3rd September, which likely means a spring 2016 Western release, if it...
News It's Fine to Be Fashionably Late to Corpse Party: Blood Drive
Washin' your hair
We don't know about you, but as this author got older, the concept of 'fashionably late' got taken to extremes. Events would be scheduled for, say, 19:00PM – but you were a jerk if you showed up any earlier than 22:00PM. Growing up is pretty dumb, huh? Having said that, such tactics may come in handy when it comes to Corpse Party...
News Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition Brings Disastrous Puns to PS4
Join the dark side
You might have noticed that the denizens of Push Square Towers enjoy a good – or, indeed, terrible – pun from time to time.

News Apparently, The Witcher 3 Is Getting Two More Pieces of Free DLC on PS4 This Week
Witcher talkin' 'bout, Geralt?

How many's that now?
We've completely lost count of how many side scrolling platformers are available on PlayStation platforms.

Lo and behold, here we have, of course, the announcement of...

News Gundam Is Gracing the PS4 with a Free-To-Play Title
Psheew, psheew
Gundam's blasting onto PlayStation 4, but it's perhaps not the type of title many fans would have wanted. The mech-'em-up has been dubbed free-to-play, and it'll be available on PS4 and PS3 - at least in Japan. Indeed, the chances of Gundam: Battle Operation Next coming West are slim - as always - but the silver lining here is that...
News Overkill's The Walking Dead Shooter Lumbers onto PS4 in 2016
Possessed Payday
Despite its grisly premise, zombie franchise The Walking Dead has been the flavour of the month for many, many months now. That's a figure of speech, of course; we're hoping that no one has taken any actual culinary tips from the show's shuffling stars. At any rate, the undead hit has seen all manner of video game adaptations –...
