Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of August 2016
Robot limbs, scary dogs, virtual girls, and fish
See, this is what happens when you remember to organise the staff Game of the Month vote too early. Your humble host put the internal poll together before September had even begun, and now here we are, over a week later, and the damn article is only just being written. Still, we can at least push some...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of July 2016
Pixels, satsumas, warring China, and giant men with horns
Oh dear, July's Game of the Month article's a bit late, isn't it? Your humble host completely forgot about our prestigious award not once but twice in the space of about four days. That's surely some sort of new record? In any case, we're here now, and after a pretty close staff vote, we've...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of June 2016
Faith, robots, valkyries, and Sol Badguy
We may be into the quieter summer months of 2016 right now, but June still managed to offer up a decent selection of PlayStation titles. However, without a clear cut winner like May's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, our internal staff vote proved to be an incredibly tight affair. Which game took top gong? There's...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of May 2016
Heroes, demons, tanks, and treasure
May was a cracking month for PlayStation, with several heavy hitting titles bursting onto Sony's latest system. Despite the strength of our Game of the Month nominees, though, there was a clear winner when it came to the crunch. And no, you don't get any prizes for guessing which release came out on top. Bronze...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of April 2016
A lot of aliens, agents, and Ashen Ones
March was an unusually quiet month for new releases, but don't worry: April appears to have picked up the slack. The Push Square team was hard at work last month, penning all sorts of critiques for various blockbuster titles – and as a result, our list of nominees for April's Game of the Month was the...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of March 2016
Beanies, bald men, salt, and dastardly tentacles
Usually a very busy period when it comes to gaming, March honestly wasn't too bad this year. With various big name titles being pushed into April and May, you could say that we got off somewhat lightly, but there were still more than enough good games for us to ponder over with regards to our Game of...

Urgh
I've had enough. From now on, Ramsey is not allowed to compile Game of the Month – and he's definitely not allowed to vote. Just look at February's line-up – it's a freakin' weeaboo's wet dream. I'm not having it anymore, I'm sorry…
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of February 2016
Zombies, anime, street fighters, and monsters of a digital kind
February's Game of the Month vote wasn't an easy one, as three separate titles found themselves tied for our prestigious award at one point – but we got there in the end. While the month itself won't be remembered for its blockbuster releases, it's safe to say that it was actually a...

Witness this
It's already February, can you believe it? Nah, me neither – but at least this upsetting event means that it's Game of the Month time. That's right, your favourite voiceover man is back with another top four for you to flagrantly feast on. And unlike previous Januarys, the line-up is a proper corker this time.
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of January 2016
Puzzles, Vikings, zombies, and starving kids
It's the first Game of the Month article of 2016, which should set us up nicely for the many upcoming titles that lie ahead. In truth, January didn't boast a whole lot of blockbuster releases, but thankfully, a slew of smaller budget games were on hand to keep us entertained. Sure, you can probably guess...

S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stuff
Sure, the Commonwealth may be laden with Super Mutants and all other sorts of (game breaking) bugs – but this Video Editor happened upon a terminal loaded with Final Cut Pro in a kindly Boston bunker, so it looks like you're getting a Game of the Month clip after all. Top hole, viewers!
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of November 2015
Thumping tunes, guns, blasters, and the wonderful wasteland
Well, that's November done and dusted for another year. A month dominated by a trio of blockbuster releases, we all thought that November was going to give way to a clash of epic proportions when it came to our internal Game of the Month staff vote, but it actually turned out to be a bit of...

Nate a minute
We normally let Ben Potter write the captions for his videos, but seeing as no one's seen him since this clip was submitted, someone else has had to step in. To be honest, what with all of the bombs and gun fire audible in the above watch box, we're starting to get a bit worried. Potter, message us if you're reading this, yeah?
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of October 2015
Heroes, sinners, nutters, and hunters
October was a pretty good month for high scoring titles, which made our internal Game of the Month poll a tough one to call. As always, five titles are nominated for our prestigious monthly award, but only four make it into these articles – and from those four, only one can be crowned our Game of the Month...

Paper, boy
Nothing hacks this video editor off more than preparing for a Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain victory – only for Tearaway: Unfolded to come out of nowhere with its cardboard cuteness and snatch the Game of the Month win. Fortunately, your humble host improvised – stay tuned for footage of Push Square's very own paper-based...
Game of the Month Top 4 PlayStation Games of September 2015
Espionage, paper cuts, time travel, and destined comebacks
Phwoar, September was a pretty great month for PlayStation gaming, and the internal staff vote to find a worthy winner of our Game of the Month crown was a tight affair indeed. We reckon that it's been the closest competition this year, and with more blockbuster releases looming on the...

Horror show
Your humble video host was torn away, kicking and screaming from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain in order to make this bloody Game of the Month round up, so you had better watch the damn thing. Featuring moronic teenagers, West Midlands accents, and even special guest appearances from everyone's favourite editor who isn't the...
Game of the Month What Were the Best PlayStation Games of August 2015?
Dumb teenagers, space battles, pirates, and raptures
Time certainly flies, as evidenced by the fact that it's somehow September. Yeah, we don't understand it either, but we suppose that we have to go ahead and announce August's Game of the Month anyway. Leading steadily into the holiday rush that's about to hit Push Square Towers like a freight...
Game of the Month The Best PlayStation Games of July 2015
Indies, indies, indies, and more indies
July was a pretty dreary month for new releases, as evidenced by the list of nominees that we scraped together just days ago. With no heavy hitting blockbusters lining store shelves, it fell to several indie games to pick up the slack, and thankfully, four of them answered the call. May this be remembered as...

WHAT ARE THEY?!
Hello valued viewers! I'm back (again) with a packet of Strepsils and a bit of a sore throat. I've been p***ing everyone at Push Square Towers off this month by practicing my Batman impression, and I reckon that I've perfected my grizzly growl for this particular video. Gargling with gravel rather than Listerine appears to have done...
Game of the Month The Best PlayStation Games of June 2015
Manga madness, millionaire heroes, feudal Japan, and lots of guns
Wow, and we thought that May was a weak month. To be fair, the rules of Game of the Month state that we can't include re-releases of any kind that have appeared on a PlayStation console in the past, so the likes of the great Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition missed out on a chance at...

I don't know what day or time it is, but I do know that I was very politely asked to put on a clean pair of trousers and make a Game of the Month video for May 2015. After being kicked by Sammy a couple of (hundred) times, you can enjoy the end product above. Now, back to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and my pee pots...
Game of the Month The Best PlayStation Games of May 2015
Good food, fast cars, guns, and swords
It's safe to say that May was a pretty dire month for new releases, so much so that we actually struggled to gather a group of worthy Game of the Month nominees – but we did get there in the end. To be frank, we're not even sure why we're bothering with this introduction, as it's highly probable that you...

Guess who got the Bloodborne Platinum Trophy? Here's a hint: he's handsome, loves Taylor Swift, and works for Push Square. Oh God, no – it wasn't darn well Sammy. It was actually me, but as a result of that case of mistaken identity, I'm going to sulk for the remainder of this pre-amble. Watch the video if you like... Whatever...
Fatalities and shovels, not necessarily in that order
Oooh, those bloody indies, eh? Ruining everyone's fun with their SNES graphics and their obsession with pop culture references. "We're not ripping off old games!" they cry. "We're paying homage! It's different!" Meanwhile, the stoic and the knowledgeable among us shake our heads in disgust as...

And now that Bloodborne's out of the way, it's back to your regularly scheduled slice of Game of the Month video goodness – in which your humble host talks Bloodborne. We let the good blood guide us this time out, as we get to the bottom of the PlayStation 4 exclusive's plot – and compare it to election debates. Both make about as...
Yet more zombies, throwbacks, and far too much blood
Before you say it: yes, we know that this edition of Game of the Month is a bit late, but we've had video editor Ben Potter locked in the basement for about three weeks as we forced him to review Bloodborne. He emerged only yesterday, clutching his handwritten essay, and ranting about his...

February 2015 may have been quite literally the worst month in PlayStation history, but that's not stopped us from pumping out another recap video. Watch on as we crown Dragon Ball XenoVerse, and also break a bit of bad news to Sir Galahad and crew. He didn't take it particularly well, we're afraid to say. Oh well, remember to push that...
Game of the Month February 2015
Stupid game names, robots, Goku, and pottery
February's always an interesting month. We begin to see titles trickling through into the market, signalling the start of the inevitable spring rush that's on its way – either that, or these games are just desperate to avoid being crushed by the encroaching onslaught. Regardless of their reasons for...

Who missed me? Aw, look at that, you've all gone shy... And quiet... And have started walking in the wrong bloody direction! C'mon back precious eyes, because if we don't get 500 views on this Game of the Month clip then this video editor has a noose around his neck, and let me tell you, he's darn well not afraid to use it. There'll be...
Game of the Month January 2015
And so it begins
2015's first month didn't provide that much to write home about, but that didn't stop our internal staff vote from being a very close affair. Contrary to popular opinion, zombies haven't quite gone out of date yet, as two horror titles featured on our shortlist, while two never-before-seen-on-PlayStation remasters entered the...

Slay to go
We’re trying something different with this latest Game of the Month video, as this video editor can’t stomach another restless weekend sat in front of Final Cut for a clip that will barely break 100 views. As such, this month’s edition has been condensed like a piece of IKEA flat pack furniture. Unlike the Swedish megastore’s...
Game of the Month November 2014
The big one
2014's busiest month has come and gone, leaving us with heated debates over what should win our coveted Game of the Month award. With blockbusters abound and plenty of great games leaving lasting impressions, it was always going to be a tough one, but at the end of the day, only the final staff vote counts. So, which title took the crown...

Game of the Month October 2014 - Alien: Isolation
It's behind you
Here at Push Square Towers, we reviewed a mighty 38 titles in October, and, for the most part, they've given us plenty of enjoyment. 7s rained down from the gaming heavens, and there were plenty of 8s to shout about, too. Now, however, we're into the industry's busiest month, with blockbuster after blockbuster strutting onto the...

Game of the Month September 2014 - Destiny
Destined for greatness
It comes as little surprise, but September was a great month for gaming. Signalling the beginning of the holiday rush, it was packed with enjoyable releases and subsequently high scores, which made our always intense staff vote all the more interesting. This isn't the first time that we've argued amongst ourselves regarding...

Two PS3 to PS4 ports in just as many months, and both of them win our Game of the Month award.

If not, take a look at our typically...

Tunnel of love
It's Game of the Month time once again here at Push Square, and what a busy month for games it was in August. We reviewed 27 titles in total, but PlayStation 4 port naysayers probably won't be happy with the winner of our prestigious award. Back in July, we crowned The Last of Us Remastered as the best release of the Summer month, and...

Game of the Month July 2014 - The Last of Us Remastered
Your record is broken
They may be the spores of yore, but it’s no surprise that The Last of Us Remastered has clouded our minds since its release last week. Technically an August launch in Europe, we figured that we’d classify it in this version of Game of the Month because, well, we don’t have any hard rules for this sort of thing and just...

Wartime winner
We're now deep into the summer months, and 2014's hottest season has thankfully provided some sizzling titles so far.

Would you believe us if we told you that our staff vote to determine May's Game of the Month ended in a three-way tie before the final decision was made?
