Game of the Month February 2014 - Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Despair wins again
There may not have been too many releases to get our sweaty hands on last month, but February still proved to provide a much stronger lineup than January's rather weak offering, as a number of games walked away with some high scores. Of course, the presence of such highly praised titles meant that our staff vote was always going...
Video Watch As We Recap January's Best PlayStation Games
What a Lara rubbish
January may have been sleepier than a kitten on a warm blanket, but our slender production budget just about stretched to another ‘Game of the Month’ clip – primarily because this video editor is being paid purely with hugs and hot milk. Alright, so it’s not bulging with blockbusters like previous episodes, but you should...
Game of the Month January 2014 - Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition
One more treasure for Lara
For once, January was a relatively quiet month here at Push Square in terms of reviews. With no real blockbusters bursting onto the PlayStation scene, last month's vote was always going to be a tricky one, as we had to round up titles that some of our staff had never even heard of. But as they say, the show must go on –...
Video Watch As We Recap December's Best PlayStation Games
Car-ma
There’s no rest for the wicked – no, seriously. After a year spent stealing all of the office HobNobs and blaming it on a kindly stray dog, this regretful Video Editor has had his promised New Year break revoked. Making humorous YouTube roundups isn’t easy when you’re chained to your chair in nothing but your underwear, but it’s...
Game of the Month December 2013 - Gran Turismo 6
That's just gran-d
For a month consisting of only a couple of big-name releases, we were certainly busy in December. Here at Push Square, we reviewed a rather staggering 32 games in all, but as always, only one can walk away with our prestigious Game of the Month accolade. So which title was awarded a stocking full of festive treats? Why, it was...
Video Watch As We Recap November's Best PlayStation Games
This time in predominantly non-text form
Reading is for chumps – at least, that’s what you’d hear any Video Editor say. As such, if you’re not keen on using your brain to learn about PlayStation’s biggest November releases, then we’ve produced this handy (and hopefully hilarious) footage for your easy living entertainment. We’ll be...
Game of the Month November 2013 - Resogun
Gunned down
November was yet another busy month for Push Square's reviewers, as we critiqued a hefty 23 games in total. Last month also saw the release of a certain console that you may have heard about: the PlayStation 4. With Sony's new hardware flying off the shelves, the race to get our next-gen write-ups published was on, and so we brought you...
Game of the Month October 2013 - Beyond: Two Souls
Here's your award, David
November is finally here, the month in which Sony's next generation console is set to be unleashed in North America and Europe. The anticipation is becoming almost unbearable, but PlayStation's promising future hasn't stopped us from glancing back into its past to decide upon which of October's releases deserves our coveted...
Game of the Month September 2013 - Grand Theft Auto V
Everyone's a criminal
September has come and gone, bringing with it a slew of great PlayStation gaming. Here at Push Square, the reviews brought some varied scores across the board, with only a handful of titles making the cut to be nominated for Game of the Month. Although let's be honest – you knew what was going to win all along, didn't you?...
Game of the Month August 2013 - Rayman Legends
Legendary status
August was a busy month for the team here at Push Square, in which we reviewed 21 new releases in total. Of course, only one game can be awarded the prestigious Game of the Month accolade, and so we looked to the highest rated titles, which included wildly anticipated adventures such as the ridiculous Saints Row IV and the magical...
Game of the Month June 2013 - The Last of Us
It wasn't for nothing
Who wants to know a little secret? Ordinarily we run an internal poll for these Game of the Month posts, but on this occasion we didn’t bother. Anyone that dared to vote against Naughty Dog’s incredible opus The Last of Us was going to be forced to spend the week shamefully sat on the step outside of our big cheese’s...
Game of the Month April 2013 - Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Breath of fire
Where’s the fun in honesty? We could be transparent and reveal that we totally forgot to push the publish button on our latest Game of the Month article, but let’s run with a more ambitious narrative instead. So, in actual fact, the whole Push Square team has spent the past eleven days locked in an underground basement,...
Game of the Month March 2013 - BioShock Infinite
Sky high
March was awash with high-profile releases, but few managed to delight us to quite the same degree as Irrational Games’ stunning BioShock Infinite. Ken Levine’s creative opus captivated us from start to finish, hooking us with an Elizabeth-shaped bait, and refusing to relinquish our attention until we’d explored every last tear. God...
Game of the Month February 2013 - Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Taste the rainbow
Justin Timberlake may have made his name by bringing sexy back, but his sassy reappearance can't hold a candle to the return of Push Square’s coveted Game of the Month award. Alright, so it may have been seven months since we last named a winner, but we’d appreciate it if you just pretended that we’d been announcing these...
Game of the Month June 2012 - Gravity Rush
Straight to the top
Sony's fantastic physics-bending Gravity Rush hit Vita in late June and easily walked away with our Game of the Month award. As our Gravity Rush review explains: It's a game that defies expectations almost as frequently as the physical properties it’s built upon. A surreal narrative is complemented by genuinely...
Game of the Month May 2012 - Velocity
Going places
A PS Mini triumphing over PS3 and Vita games to take the coveted Game of the Month award? You can believe your eyes: Velocity is a little cracker. An ingenious blend of shooter and puzzle means you're always planning your next teleport instead of just blasting everything that moves. A fast trigger-finger will help you, but it won't...
Game of the Month March 2012 - Journey
Of course
There's only one game we could possibly choose as the best of March: thatgamecompany's superlative Journey. In fact, not only is it the best game on PlayStation in the last calendar month, we named it the Best PlayStation 3 game in our recent staff poll. As our Journey review put it: Journey is a seminal release; the kind of title that...
