Review Dying Light: The Following (PS4)
Not that sort of buggy
Released a little over a year ago, Dying Light turned out to be a satisfyingly brutal zombie murder sim that eschewed a lot of what you expect from such titles. By making speed and evasion stronger weapons than any of the sharp objects that you acquired, when you were stuck at ground level you couldn't help but feel incredibly...
News Fallout 4 Finally Drops a Bomb with DLC Details
Custom robots, taming monsters, and big expansions
Bethesda's finally opened the vault door on its downloadable content plans for Fallout 4, and to be honest, they sound pretty interesting. The open world adventure will be getting three confirmed slices of DLC in the relatively near future, with more coming further down the road. However, we should...
News Fallout 4's Season Pass Is About to Get Pricier on PS4
Start counting your caps
Hmm. Either publisher Bethesda's doing us a brilliant favour, or it's trying to convince more people to buy Fallout 4's Season Pass before reviews for the content spill out. Either way, it's announced that starting from 1st March, the price of the pre-purchase will increase from $29.99 (£24.99) to $49.99 (£39.99). That's a...
News Not Even Dark Souls III Is Immune to the Season Pass
Who wants to pay for unannounced DLC?
In addition to being utterly fantastic games, there's a rebellious streak to the Souls series that makes it so appealing. We described Bloodborne as the "anti-AAA" in our Game of the Year article on the PlayStation 4 exclusive, and that applies to the franchise as a whole really; it's utterly uninterested in...
News Dead or Alive 5: Last Round Strips Off for Valentine's Day
Be my Valentine
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round is getting a new batch of costumes to coincide with Valentine's Day - because of course it is. And, as you could have probably guessed, they're about as minimal as possible, with the ladies mostly donning underwear and most of the men opting to kick butt in swimming trunks. Okay, so the outfits aren't...
News Finally, Bungie Spills the Beans on What's in Store for Destiny
A sequel, an expansion, and a huge update
It's been a rough couple of months for Destiny - developer Bungie's biggest ever project. Following the release of The Taken King, last year's big expansion, players have been becoming increasingly disgruntled with the game's offerings. Sparrow Racing League felt like an unfinished add-on or a prelude to...
Review Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Awakening (PS4)
Splish splash, havin' a bloodbath
With seemingly every game getting in on the Season Pass trend – up to and including LEGO Marvel's Avengers – it's becoming increasingly difficult to be excited by DLCs these days. Some games, such as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, have lovingly crafted expansions filled with content, while others games seem to suffer...
News What's That Sound? Naruto Storm 4 Is Getting Character DLC After Launch
The Sound Four join the fray
If there's one thing that Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 has going for it, it's the title's thoroughly impressive playable character roster - and developer CyberConnect2 plans on adding to it after the game launches early next month. If you're a long time fan, you'll probably remember the Sound Four from the...
News The Thieves Guild Sneaks into The Elder Scrolls Online in March
It's you, the Gray Fox

News Street Fighter V Busts Out a Free Story Expansion
Shadaloo-ky here
Capcom's gone ahead and spilled a load of details regarding Street FIghter V's story mode ahead of the brawler's release next month. For the most part, things sound pretty standard: each playable character will sport their own storyline, complete with great looking illustrations from Japanese artist Bengus. These 'Character Stories'...
News Okay, Dead or Alive 5's Super Retro Anime Costumes are Pretty Cool
Cue cheesy music
Even though we often think that Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's costume downloadable content is hilariously overpriced, we sometimes do have to admit that the outfits themselves are rather impressive. Once again, this is the case with the fighter's latest pack, which is available now. Based on the looks of characters found in...
News The Thieves Guild Will Soon Be Stealing Your Time in The Elder Scrolls Online
Sticky fingers
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will continue to grow in 2016, starting with its first slice of downloadable content for the year: the Thieves Guild. As always, an upcoming patch will deliver all the new stuff to your game, but you'll need to purchase the DLC to access it. Adding new locations, quests, items, skills,...

News Grand Theft Auto V Story DLC May Still Be Happening
Franklin's at it again
Well, here we are again, back with another possible Grand Theft Auto V story DLC tease. Shawn Fonteno, the man behind Franklin, one of the game's three main playable characters, has posted a picture of himself in a motion capture suit on his Instagram account. Don't get your hopes up just yet, though, as Fonteno doesn't...
News PS4 Exclusive DriveClub's Ready to Paint the Town Red
City courses on the way
Evolution Studios ain't ready to pump DriveClub's brakes just yet. The PlayStation 4's perennially underrated racer looks set to get even better in 2016 – with the addition of city tracks. The developer teased the new arrivals in a tantalising Twitter message, showing an image of a bike zipping around a rain-slicked street...
Review Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper (PS4)
From heaven
There's a perverse fascination with Jack the Ripper, so it's no surprise that Ubisoft has selected the infamous serial killer as the star of Assassin's Creed Syndicate's first major expansion pack. The romanticised murderer – portrayed as a kind of low-rent Scarecrow here, complete with growly lower-class accent and sack mask –...
News Destiny Launches Pricey Level Boosters for PS4, PS3
Stump up £25 for Level 25
Destiny's taken another boost jump towards its inevitable free-to-play future with the release of new level boosters on the PlayStation Store.

Torturous wait

Afterbirth is an expansion to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, which made an appearance on PlayStation Plus in November of la

Launching next week on PS4
Romanticised murderer Jack the Ripper will brutalise his way into Assassin's Creed Syndicate on the PlayStation 4 next week, as Ubisoft deploys its biggest add-on pack for the open world adventure yet. The meaty expansion will see you play as an aging Evie Frye some 20 years after the conclusion of the main game, as you...
News Feast Your Eyes on The Witcher 3's Final Expansion with These First Screenshots
Wine and dine
Who's ready for Geralt of Rivia's final adventure, then? It's been a long and admittedly bloody road, but the silver haired warrior's journey is drawing to a close next year with the release of Blood and Wine, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's second expansion - and it's already looking good. Judging from these brand new environmental...
News New Features and Changes Teased for The Witcher 3's Final Expansion
Geralt's goodbye
Okay, we usually don't cover relatively vague tweets in news stories for obvious reasons, but we thought that this one was actually quite interesting. Marcin Momot, CD Projekt Red's community lead and always appreciated news source, has tweeted saying that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's second and final expansion, Blood and Wine, will...
News You'll Find Out Who's Next in Mortal Kombat X at The Game Awards
Round two
Mortal Kombat X has been one of the biggest sellers of 2015, so it's no surprise that NetherRealm has decided to extend DLC support for the fighter. And according to series creator Ed Boon, a new challenger will arrive during The Game Awards this week, with the release set to feature as one of Geoff Keighley's ten premieres. It'll be...
News PES 2016 Finally Gets Its Roster Update Next Month
Booked for time-wasting
Back when we reviewed PES 2016 in September, we said that it was an excellent football game - its only real weaknesses being its unlicensed teams and the fact that its roster was based on last season's squads. For example, that money-grabbing Sterling was still disgracing Liverpool's teamsheet. A roster update, titled Data...
Guide How to Beat Bloodborne: The Old Hunters' Bosses
A hunter's nightmare
Bloodborne is back with The Old Hunters, a brutal but brilliant slice of post-release content that not only massively expands upon the release's arsenal but also includes new environments and, of course, boss battles. Following on from our coverage earlier in the year we've decided to put together a guide for all five of the big...
Review Bloodborne: The Old Hunters (PS4)
Byrgenwerth it
And so another yarn has arrived from Yharnam just in time to remind us why Bloodborne is one of the best games of the year. The Old Hunters is a full-blooded expansion, boasting nightmarish new environments and a bevy of brutal beasts to slaughter, but it's the vast array of original equipment that will have moon slaves practically...
News Rocket League Returns with Free PS4 Wasteland Arena
Mad match
The gift that keeps giving is about to go a bit Mad Max, as Rocket League is gearing up for the release of its first "non-regulation" arena, Wasteland. This new pitch – which will be free for all players – is bigger than previous stadiums, and features irregular boost placements. It's also sloped around the perimeter, making matches...
News This Is Your Last Chance to Get Tales of Zestiria's Free DLC Chapter
You don't even need the game to download it
We quite like Tales of Zestiria, so we reckon that it'd be a shame if some of you lot missed out on its free downloadable content. Alisha's Story is an additional chapter that focusses on, you guessed it, Alisha, the spear wielding princess - and it's only freely available until tomorrow in Europe. In...
News Transforming Schoolgirls Strike Dead or Alive 5 with New Costume Crossover
Naturally
School Girl Strikers is a Japanese mobile game that sees players collect cards of transforming schoolgirls and battle with them. In other words, it's exactly the kind of property that you'd expect Dead or Alive 5: Last Round to collaborate with. The majority of the brawler's female characters get their own outfit with this latest pack,...
News What Do You Get in Star Wars Battlefront's Season Pass?
Early access to four expansions
Ah, the obligatory season pass – it'd take a force greater than nature itself for Star Wars Battlefront to forgo one. As it happens, EA Games has announced the £39.99/$49.99 upgrade just days ahead of the PlayStation 4 blockbuster's release – so what does it include? Well, the main selling point appears to be the...
News Rainbow Six: Siege's Season Pass Isn't Very Explosive
No bang for your buck
Okay, so if you didn't already know, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege is getting a year's worth of free downloadable content. Maps, new characters, and so on will be released bit by bit over the next 12 months - and that's pretty cool. Ubisoft's tying a season pass into the equation, though, which complicates things ever so...
News Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Summons a Season Pass on PS4
Costumes and extra scenarios up for grabs
We'd probably be playing - or at least be close to playing - Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 right now if it hadn't been delayed into next year. The shinobi-on-shinobi brawler is slated to launch on the 9th February here in the West, and it looks like a season pass will be available alongside the...
News Most of Rock Band 4's Legacy DLC Delayed in Europe
Bum note
European PlayStation players haven't had the best relationship with Sony in recent times, mainly due to late Store Updates and PlayStation Plus releases. Now, they have another reason to be mad, as EU Rock Band 4 owners can't seem to access over half of the Legacy DLC that launched last week – despite all of the DLC being available on the...
News How Will You Access Bloodborne: The Old Hunters on PS4?
Pretty easily, actually
We love Bloodborne here at Push Square Towers, but it can be a pretty convoluted game. It wouldn't come as a massive surprise to us if upcoming expansion Bloodborne: The Old Hunters was a challenge to access, then – but according to a Q&A on the official PlayStation website, you'll be able to get to the new content with...
News Ultra Street Fighter IV's Hallowe'en Costumes Are Horribly Good
More treat than trick
The incoming arrival of Hallowe'en can only mean one thing: an abundance of daft costumes for all of your favourite fighting games. We've already seen Dead or Alive 5: Last Round's decent offering, but we reckon that Ultra Street Fighter IV deserves to take home the creepy candy crown this year. Available as one complete pack...
News Follow the Dying Light with Dirt Buggy DLC in 2016
Car-nage
Want to know what was a good game? Dying Light. Techland's zombie slayer launched so early in the year that it's likely to be overlooked when the end of 2015 awards roll around, but we reckon that it's up there with some of the best titles that we've played over the past 12 months. And subsequently we're quite looking forward to The...
News The Elder Scrolls Online Orsinium Map Is Unsurprisingly Massive
Plus new screenshots from the expansion
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is big. It's so big that it dwarfs many other open world titles on the PlayStation 4, and as you'd expect of a massively multiplayer online title, it's absolutely crammed with quests, dungeons to explore, and creatures to kill. The good news is that it's about to get...
News Get Ready For a Steamy Hallowe'en in Dead or Alive 5: Last Round
One heck of a Hallowe'en party
There's no doubt that quite a bit of effort gets put into the designs of each new costume set for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round - we're just not sure about splashing so much cash on cosmetic changes. Still, this year's Hallowe'en selection is actually quite tempting, as the cast pulls on some relatively imaginative...
News Star Wars Battlefront Has a Really Steep PS4 Season Pass
Sell the Millennium Falcon
It's time to put your hand blaster and lightsaber up on eBay, because you're going to need as many Druggats as you can lay your hands on to afford Star Wars Battlefront's obligatory Season Pass. Announced by EA Games overnight, the expensive add-on will set you back an eye watering £40/$50, and will grant you access to...
News Great Scott! Rocket League Goes Back to the Future
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
As the great band Busted once sang: "I've been to the Year 3000. Not much has changed but they lived underwater. And this game that they play called Rocket League – well, it's pretty fine." Speaking of which, Psyonix's surprise smash will be getting an added bonus later this month, as the DeLorean drops by for a tour...
News Uncharted 4's Single Player DLC May Plot an Experimental Path
Left behind
Truly great downloadable content doesn't come around very often, but The Last of Us: Left Behind is a rare example of an add-on pack that lived up to the legacy of the campaign that it was expanding. Having got the bug for single player expansions, Naughty Dog announced recently that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End would receive some...
News The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone Expansion Trailer Sets a Dark and Dangerous Mood
Back to the hunt
Hearts of Stone is going to be one heck of a fun ride if its official trailer is anything to go by. Supposedly adding around 10 hours of new story content to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the expansion releases next week on the PlayStation 4, and although we imagine that it'll be more of the same for grizzly old Geralt, we've certainly...
News Rocket League Celebrates the Scary Season with Free Hallowe'en Unlocks
Boo nil
We have nightmares about coming up against some of the world's best Rocket League players on a regular occasion, but this is the kind of fright that we can get behind. In keeping with Psyonix's outstanding post-release support strategy, the developer has taken to the PlayStation Blog to confirm that a slew of Hallowe'en items will be...
News The Elder Scrolls Online Orsinium Expansion Promises 20 Hours of New Story Content
And it's playable at any level
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited has sucked away more than enough of our free time as it is, but we're fully prepared to journey into the homeland of the Orcs with its upcoming expansion, Orsinium. Releasing next month on the 18th November, the PlayStation 4 downloadable content promises 20 hours of new...
News The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth Will Be Released on PS4, Vita This Year
Greedy guts
The developer of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Edmund McMillan, has today announced on his Twitter that the massive DLC called Afterbirth will launch on the PlayStation 4 and Vita at the end of the year. For those of you who have been locked in a dungeon for the past few months, this huge expansion – which could have been a sequel...
News There Won't Be Any Console Exclusive Extras in Fallout 4
Thank the Ghouls
Sony's been signing deals left and right since the start of this generation, locking down exclusive incentives for its system. However, one release that it's failed to partner with is irradiated role-playing game Fallout 4, which seems to be sitting not-so subtly in Xbox's camp. Does that mean that the Redmond firm will be giving...
News Rocket League Brings the Revenge of the Battle Cars in October
Back to where it all began
We can't quite make up our mind about this new Rocket League trailer. On the one hand, it's pretty darn good – but we can't shake the feeling that it would probably fit a romantic comedy movie better. That said, we suppose that Psyonix's arcade smash has one of the greatest coming of age stories ever – after all, no...
News Assassin's Creed Syndicate Blows the Smog Off Its Exclusive PS4 Missions
Blood on the streets
Buying Assassin's Creed Syndicate on PlayStation 4 gets you access to a string of missions that involve grizzly murder. Solving these crimes typically falls to main characters Jacob and Evie Frye, as they scour the smoggy streets of industrial London in order to hunt down the killer and find out just what the heck is going on...
TGS 2015 Metal Gear Solid V Is Getting Its Very Own Horse Armour
We're not horsing around
Back when downloadable content was a controversial subject – when's it ever not been? – you may recall The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion prompting punters to pull out their pitchforks due to its horse armour add-on. Well, either Konami wasn't paying attention or it's taking the p***, because Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom...
