In the game, you're a survivor with a bunch of other survivors, and if the situation doesn't already sound bad enough,...
Hands On Does Homefront PS4's Co-Op Represent a Revolution?
Derelict teamwork
This game has a past that is not one of secrecy but of an incredibly rocky and public road to completion. Homefront: The Revolution has been tossed between developers like an expensive game of hot potato but it's somehow found light at the end of the tunnel with a release window finally locked in. In fact, it's so close that we...

Delay No. 3
Mega Man-inspired platformer Mighty No. 9 will miss its 9th February release date, marking a third delay for the side-scroller. The game has now been pushed back to the rather nebulous Spring 2016 window, as developer Inti Creates continues to iron out the network issues which have plagued the crowd funded project for almost half a year...
Review This War of Mine: The Little Ones (PS4)
The first casualty of war is innocence
Braving the sniper fire of Call of Duty-loving console players, anti-war-'em-up This War of Mine: The Little Ones brings the civilian side of conflict to the PlayStation 4. 11 Bit Studios has created a heart-wrenching experience of a game, one that puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in a...

News New Gameplay Features Revealed for Wasteland 2: Director's Cut
Wasted
Deep Silver and inXile Entertainment have released a new trailer for Wasteland 2: Director's Cut as well as showcased some new gameplay features.

Review Risen 3: Titan Lords - Enhanced Edition (PS4)
Still rolling with it
Dug up from the last-gen graveyard, the PlayStation 4 version of Risen 3: Titan Lords shares one big similarity with the unnamed hero at the heart of its own story: everyone thought that they were both dead and buried. Unfortunately the similarities end there, as only one's been resurrected to sail the high seas, in a quest to...
News Mighty No. 9 Misfires, Delayed Until 2016
Not so mega, man
Mighty No. 9 will indeed say nein [Yes, we're recycling that one – Ed] to its previously planned 15th September release, as Comcept has confirmed in a since pulled forum post that the Mega Man-esque escapade has been delayed. The news follows the conclusion of creator Keiji Inafune's failed Red Ash Kickstarter – we're sure...
Gamescom 2015 Homefront: The Revolution Raises Its Weapon to 2016
Gun to know
"They should really make a new Homefront game," said absolutely no one ever – but it's bloody happening anyway. After a bit of a corporate cock-up involving THQ having no money and latterly Crytek having no money, Far Cry: Brown & Grey Edition is finally due out next year under the name Homefront: The Revolution. Deep Silver, who...
Rumour Mighty No. 9 May Say Nein to 2015 Release
Mighty blunder
Wow, it's all going on. According to Game Informer, there's a strong possibility that Mighty No. 9 will miss its 15th September release date. The publication, which is owned by US outlet GameStop, understands that publisher Deep Silver and developer Comcept have indicated to retail partners that the title will not deploy until 2016,...
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 Yager Development Won't Be Working on Dead Island 2 Anymore
Get back in that grave
Dead Island 2 has seen its fair share of development troubles, but things are now coming to a temporary close, as publisher Deep Silver has announced that it's cutting ties with German developer Yager Development. No specific reasons were given, but it's easy to infer that the title's quality was a big problem. "With Dead...

We're not entirely sure whether these are popular around the globe, but the NOW That's What I Call Music compilations are a Christmas staple here in the UK. And now the lucrative brand is getting its own PlayStation 4 game, in the form of NOW That's What I Call Sing. To be honest, it's a terrible title, but it's not like they...

News Metro Redux Shows a Thirst for the Apocalypse with Over 1.5 Million Copies Sold
Take that, mutants
A collection that contains remastered versions of both Metro: 2033 and Metro Last Light, Metro Redux is a pretty meaty package, and we'd argue one of the best shooters on the PlayStation 4. It's quite nice, then, that the post-apocalyptic romp has sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. The news comes via Deep Silver, and,...
News Did Dying Light Scare Dead Island 2 Away?
It's a zombie eat zombie world
This is a strange one, isn't it? Techland, the developer behind the original Dead Island, went on to create the rather enjoyable Dying Light after departing from publisher Deep Silver. Meanwhile, the former's getting a sequel in the form of Dead Island 2, but as Videogamer.com cleverly points out, we haven't seen or...
News Homefront: The Revolution Will Be a PS4 Best Seller in 2016
Deep Silver gives Dambuster Studios more time

News Oh Dear, The Uncensored Version of Saints Row IV: Re-Elected Is Being Recalled in Australia
Whoops
Who would ever deny the Saints of their fun, eh?

As you may know, censorship policies in the land down under can be rather strict,...

Gun it
Just when you thought that Saints Row couldn't get any more unpredictable, it goes and parodies Top Gear, complete with Jeremy Clarkson-like commentary and a faceless racer known as the Stag.

Round Up Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell PS4 Reviews Rise Through the Fire and Flames
Rubber Johnny
There's been much ado about review code here at Push Square Towers of late, as our copy of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell – and, consequently, bundled remaster Saints Row IV: Re-Elected – has seemingly got lost in the post. This means that we've, sadly, been unable to deliver on our New Year's Resolution of improving the timeliness of...
News Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell's Launch Trailer Is Even More Ridiculous Than We Imagined
Fly Johnny, fly
Saints Row IV was an utterly ridiculous experience, and developer Volition seems keen to carry that tone through the series' upcoming expansion, Gat Out of Hell. Of course, we knew that already, but the standalone DLC's launch trailer still managed to surprise us. The video's full of dumb, crass humour and stupid selling points, but...

If you thought that Ouija Boards were solely reserved for raising the dead and providing bad teen slashers with some semblance of plot, then you probably wouldn't get a job in Deep Silver's marketing division. The firm has announced that it's teamed up with uber-retailer GAME in the UK in order to giveaway Wee-Ja Boards with...

Gone when the morning comes
Well, we didn't see that one coming.

News Saints Row Dances with the Devil Ahead of Sequel Reveal
Playing with the dead
The 3rd Street Saints appear to be playing games with the dead, if a teaser image from the next title is to be believed. Sent out as both a minimalistic press release and as a Twitter post, the above image appears to show a Ouija board embellished with the Saints Row logo. Considering that the next entry in the zany series is...
Review Risen 3: Titan Lords (PlayStation 3)
Roll with it
For any series to make it to a third entry is quite an achievement, especially when it’s a perennial underachiever like the Risen games. After leaning heavily into the more piratical aspects for its first sequel, developer Piranha Bytes has doubled down on this approach for Risen 3: Titan Lords, letting you once again sail the high...
Review Metro Redux (PlayStation 4)
A whole new world

Round Up Metro: Redux PS4 Reviews Celebrate in an Abandoned Subway
Anything but dark and dreary
Metro 2033 was one of those strange mid-tier titles that decided to avoid the PlayStation 3’s complicated architecture, releasing in early 2010 as a console exclusive for the Xbox 360. The post-apocalyptic first-person shooter – based upon the novel of the same name by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky – proved an...
Gamescom 2014 PS4 Sequel Dead Island 2 Enjoys Some Sunshine Slaughter
Hot as Hell
The original Dead Island seemed to get its head turned by that iconic debut trailer. While it was ostensibly a silly co-operative zombie slayer, said first footage gave gamers expectations that the final product could never live up to. Fortunately, the folks over at German developer Yager appear to be setting out their stall much more...
Review Sacred 3 (PlayStation 3)
Nothing is sacred
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel, while not what you’d call a big success, still managed to garner quite a following among a certain set of gamers, even in spite of a few rough edges.

Hell on Earth
German convention GamesCom is scarily close, which means that the Push Square office is all of a flutter right now.

The sequel will be playable at the expo, which actually marks the first time that local gamers...
News PS4's Homefront: The Revolution Development to Be Finished by Dambuster Studio
Deep Silver digs deep to acquire cursed brand
We’re not entirely sure why anyone would want to own the Homefront franchise at this point, as in addition to being a property with very little to differentiate itself from the wealth of other modern military brands on the market, it also appears to carry a curse. After killing off THQ a couple of...
News Saints Row's Stupidity Will Almost Certainly Return on PS4
Loud and proud
Since the success of Saints Row IV on the PlayStation 3, developer Volition has been a little secretive. There were rumours coming out of E3 2014 that publisher Deep Silver was about to announce a new entry in the stupid sandbox series, but that turned out to be the equally ridiculous Dead Island 2. Alas, the aforementioned outfit...

Review NASCAR '14 (PlayStation 3)
Go daddy
NASCAR ’14 sets out its stock racing stall right from the starting line. Rather than bombard you with heavily edited footage of a Go Daddy branded bar of soap on wheels, it instead tempts you in with a Buzz-esque quiz on Jeff Gordon’s past performances in the Sprint Cup series. It’s these nuggets of trivia that link the racer’s...
