Spider-Woman
Reddit plays host to some amusing clips about bugs in various games, but this one might just take the biscuit. Posting on the PlayStation 4 subreddit, someone uploaded a friend's video of a bizarre error that occurred while they played Marvel's Spider-Man. The result is pretty amusing. The video shows an early scene in the game when yo
News Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled PS4 Bundles Drift Into View for Europe and Australia
Options vary by country
In a move that makes complete and utter sense, Sony will be packing in copies of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled with PlayStation 4 consoles when it boosts across the finish line on 21st June.

News Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales in Japan
Changing tastes
Perhaps a reminder of just how much home consoles have fallen out of favour in Japan: the PlayStation 4’s lifetime install base has now been surpassed by the more mobile Nintendo Switch – despite the former launching over three years earlier than the House of Mario’s hot new hardware. Famitsu data pegs the PS4 at 8,077,756...

News Hideo Kojima Gives Blessing to Metal Gear Solid Remake in Dreams
A man who's good at what he does
We weren’t joking when we said we could rebrand Push Square as a Dreams fansite, but there’s so much impressive stuff getting made that it deserves the digital column inches. Take this Metal Gear Solid remake, which is so impressive that it’s already gotten Hideo Kojima’s approval. The auteur certainly...

News Days Gone Passes Lifetime Sales of God of War, The Last Guardian in Japan
Biker buzz
It’s perhaps something of a surprise considering the subject matter, but Days Gone is a smash hit in Japan. The apocalyptic open worlder – which has topped the local sales charts for a second consecutive week, according to Famitsu – has now moved more physical copies than God of War, Detroit: Become Human, and The La
News What if Ghost of Tsushima Was Made in Dreams?
It'd still look pretty good
At this point we could probably rebrand Push Square as a place to promote incredible Dreams creations, but management is against that idea so we’re going to have to pick and choose. This gorgeous Ghost of Tsushima recreation actually isn’t one of the most impressive things made in Media Molecule’s creation suite,...

Hands On Everybody's Golf VR May Be the Hardest Hot Shots Yet
Fore the pros
Hot Shots Golf has always traded on its instant accessibility, but new entry Everybody’s Golf VR looks set to have a significant learning curve. Make no mistake: this has not suddenly become a simulator – it’s still a colourful, arcade romp. But by favouring motion controls over the click-click-click format of old, it can be...

Time to get cooking
The time has finally come for this month's PS Plus games to go live.

Sammy's pining for Gabe Logan
I really like Days Gone. I wouldn’t say I was particularly excited for the apocalyptic open worlder, but somehow it’s become one of my favourites of the year.

Feature Sony Won't Be at E3 2019, But Here Are 7 Reasons to Still Be Hyped
All aboard
With Push Square being a PlayStation website, we were feeling deflated when Sony confirmed that it wouldn't be at E3 this summer.

Until now, that is. With E3...
