Round Up Dying Light's PS4 Reviews Try Not to Decay
Rotten to the core?
You may have noticed that there are a real dearth of Dying Light reviews around the web. This is because Warner Bros didn't send anyone review code until earlier in the week, and we only received our copies this morning. While you're free to make of that what you will, a few appraisals are starting to pop up, so seeing as this is...
News The Witcher 3 Sounds Like It's Going to Have a Lot of Sex
All night long
Romance is always a tricky subject when it comes to games. Not often do titles get the mood right, and more times than not, any sort of sex scene ends up seeming cripplingly awkward. The Witcher series has arguably approached it better than others, though. In particular, the second game in the franchise certainly didn't shy away from...
News Reptile Roughhouses His Way into Mortal Kombat X
Sssplendid
Although the illustrious Ed Boon previously teased that new fighters for Mortal Kombat X would be revealed on 29th January, it seems that NetherRealm Studios couldn't wait, as an exclusive IGN video has confirmed that Reptile will be joining the roster. After a hilarious, short spat between Kung Lao and his scaly adversary, we get a look...
News The Witcher 3 May Have a Difficulty Setting That Means Death Is Permanent
Life's a witch
During The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's recent livestream, developer CD Projekt Red mentioned an 'insanity' difficulty level that would act as the game's toughest challenge. In no way is the mode finalised, but it does sound like an interesting potential addition. After all, the series is partially known for its often tricky difficulty,...
Feature Three Reasons Why You'll Love Exploring The Witcher 3's Massive Open World on PS4
Call of the wild
It may seem like a while off yet, but trust us when we say that it won't be long until you're travelling the countryside as the grizzly Geralt of Rivia. Poised to be the PlayStation 4's first truly open world RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is beginning to look like the real deal, featuring branching storylines, brutal combat, and, of...

Witcher watching
We hope that you're still keen to see more of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt today, because developer CD Projekt Red will be hosting a livestream later tonight. Showcasing some new gameplay along with live commentary, it sounds like it'll be well worth a watch if you're busy building your hype for the open world RPG. The stream starts at...
News This Dying Light Launch Trailer Will Sell a Lot of Copies
Dead good timing
Warner Bros may live to regret that retail Dying Light delay outside of North America, because this launch trailer is a software seller for sure. We've got a few question marks hanging over the release right now, purely because we haven't been able to get hold of any review code yet (and apparently we're not alone) – but this clip...
News Feast Your Eyes Upon 15 Minutes of Brand New The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Gameplay
Witching business
It's about time we got a better look at upcoming PlayStation 4 role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and so we've been gifted with 15 minutes of rather revealing gameplay. Thanks to Eurogamer Portugal – who put the clips together – we get to see gruff protagonist Geralt tackle a number of deadly creatures, stomp about...
News New Challengers Will Mutilate Mortal Kombat X Next Week
Finish the marketing campaign
For the record: when we suggested that Mortal Kombat X was silly in a controversial article last week, we meant it in the best possible way – everyone here at Push Square Towers adores the zaniness of NetherRealm Studios' premier punch up. Hence, we're excited to learn which new kombatants will be joining the chaos...
News Dying Light's Retail Release Will Not Deploy Until 27th February in Europe on PS4
Rotten to the core
Dying Light's bizarre delay in Europe, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East looks like it could be a big one, as Polish website Polygamia.pl is reporting that the PlayStation 4 game will not deploy until 27th February on store shelves. The title had been set to release next week, and still will digitally – but those of you...
News This Dying Light PS4 Disc Delay Is Starting to Get Awkward
Good night, good luck
With respect to all of the parties involved, Polish developer Techland probably thought that it was trading up when it dumped Deep Silver for Warner Bros. The former has grown a lot since it hung its hat on the Dead Island brand, but its army of IPs – even with Homefront, Saints Row, and Metro added to its stable – can't...
News Dying Light's PS4 Retail Release Delayed Due to Production Problems
Stumbles in Europe, Australia, and others
The curse of 2014 shuffles on, as physical copies of Dying Light have been delayed in Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Speculation was rife yesterday regarding a global setback, but we couldn't sniff out a firm source. Fortunately, a spokesperson on Facebook has explained that this only...
News Sharpen Your Knowledge With The Witcher 3's Recap Trailer
A bloody good time
It's now 2015, and with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt starting to close in on our once peaceful lives, it's time to get hyped with a few minutes of storytelling. Giving a brief overview of what a Witcher actually is, the title's latest trailer is narrated as folklore, and it certainly sets the tone. Now that the ominous Wild Hunt is...
News Try Not to Laugh at This Mortal Kombat X Trailer
Mindless violence
Mortal Kombat has always been dumber than a 90s Jim Carrey movie, but the series did go through a period where it took itself a teensy bit too seriously. Fortunately, there's no danger of that occurring in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel Mortal Kombat X, as this absolutely hilarious trailer evidences. In it,...
News Take a Tour of Dying Light's Dilapidated Map on PS4
To die for
Dying Light is easily the biggest game set to deploy on the PlayStation 4 this month – sorry, Resident Evil – so we figured that you may fancy a sneaky peek at its corpse ridden map. The rotting playground known as Harran may not be enormous, but this brand new PlayStation Access video shows off some of its districts, from a smelly...
News Fight the Dying Light with New Book Based on Techland's PS4 Game
Reader beware
Transmedia storytelling always seems forced, but there's just enough plot in properties like Mass Effect and The Elder Scrolls to make it work. Polish developer Techland isn't exactly best known for its storytelling, but that hasn't stopped Warner Bros from going all-in and commissioning a novel based on its forthcoming parkour-'em-up,...
News Hats Off to Mortal Kombat X's Latest Kombatant, Kung Lao
Bowled over
Mortal Kombat's resident hat model will be switching out his smooth headgear for something a little more rugged in the forthcoming Mortal Kombat X. Ed Boon, the gravel voiced veteran behind the franchise, has tweeted out a high-res image of Kung Lao from the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 sequel, and he's sporting a spiky sombrero as...
Weirdness What Would PS4 Parkour-'Em-Up Dying Light Look Like in Real Life?
Not pretty
PlayStation 4 zombie sim Dying Light is quickly approaching, and in order to drum up hype, developer Techland has been releasing a new trailer every other day. Obviously we haven't been posting all of them, but this latest clip absolutely deserves a mention, if only becau
News What's It Like to Be a Zombie in PS4 Undead-a-Thon Dying Light?
Probably smelly
Being a zombie doesn't sound all that great. In addition to the constant pangs of hunger, you'd have to contend with rotten, flaky skin – and probably wouldn't have the mental fortitude required to whip out some moisturiser cream. Still, the 'Be a Zombie' pre-order bonus mode for Dying Light makes the whole thing look a lot more...
News The Witcher 3 Collector's Edition Has Hunted Some Truly Stunning Steelbook Covers
Phwoar
These days, collector's editions sometimes have a tendency to be a little bit underwhelming. A diminutive art book, a cheap-looking replica of an item from the game, and a few badges or patches are usually the order of the day, but we're finding it hard to resist The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's rather glorious cover artworks that come with the...
News Need a New Year's Resolution? PS4 Zombie Sim Dying Light Has Some Suggestions
A brand new day
If you haven't been paying attention, it's a new year, which means that it's also time for a slew of starry-eyed but ultimately unrealistic resolutions. Most people go for the usual suspects – fitness, work promotions, gaming backlog reductions – but this gory new trailer for PlayStation 4 zombie sim Dying Light recommends a much...
Review LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (PlayStation 4)
Bat to basics
The LEGO series has been on a roll lately, with multiple high scoring titles over the past 12 months or so. The question is: does LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham have what it takes to topple the others – or should it have simply stayed in the shadows? Contrary to LEGO game tradition, the story in this edition is fairly forgettable...
News PS4 Zombie Sim Dying Light Will Raise the Dead in 1080p at 30FPS
Silky smooth undead sparring
Dying Light, the open world zombie sim coming to the PlayStation 4 next year, will be rendered in 1080p and will run at 30 frames-per-second, developer Techland has recently announced. “1080p and 30FPS is what we have right now, it is what is constant, and what we’re sure that we can deliver in the final product, but...
News Batman: Arkham Knight's PS4 Exclusive Scarecrow Pack Will Make You Afraid of the Dark
Dream cleaver
The psychological Scarecrow missions were one of the best aspects of Batman: Arkham Asylum, so it’s exciting to learn that they’ll be making a comeback in Batman: Arkham Knight – exclusively on the PlayStation 4. The trailer embedded below reveals the third and final part of the Ace Chemicals infiltration mission that Warner Bros...
News Dying Light's New Story Trailer Is Brash, Brooding, and Beautiful
Heart of darkness
If the trailer Techland revealed for Dying Light at The Game Awards today teaches us anything, it's that the game is attempting to tell a much more mature story. Indeed, the clip begins with a hifalutin quote from famed philosopher and playwright Albert Camus, who would undoubtedly turn in his grave if he knew that his work was bei
News Batman: Arkham Knight's Latest PS4 Trailer Twists Metal
Car combat
Twisted Metal maker David Jaffe would be proud of this latest Batman: Arkham Knight trailer, which follows on from last week’s clip and shows the Caped Crusader kicking ass in the Batmobile. To be honest, this is nowhere near as impressive as its predecessor, but we do get a good look at some of the vehicle’s unique abilities, as it...
News The Dark Knight Rises in New Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 Gameplay Trailer
Arkham believe it
Batman: Arkham Knight has been hiding out in Wayne Towers for a little longer than we would have liked of late, so it’s nice to see the PlayStation 4 superhero sequel score over three minutes of brand new gameplay footage. This is the first of three clips, with the final trailer to be shown during Sony’s keynote at its...

Entitled 'The Power of Defiance', the bundle includes the Test of Defiance Challenge Mode, as well as the new...
News Batman: Arkham Knight Aiming for Visual Parity on PS4 and Xbox One
Quick, everyone in the Bat Cave
Here’s a quick public relations lesson for developers: don’t, under any circumstances, use the word ‘parity’ when talking about the different versions of your game. NeoGAF has already hired a lynch mob to take down British studio Rocksteady, as it’s indicated that it’s targeting equality across all...
Review LEGO Ninjago: Nindroids (PlayStation Vita)
Portable ninjas to go

Showing no signs of slowing down, the latest game in the pantheon has made its way to the...
First Impressions What Does Dying Light Do to Resurrect the Zombie Apocalypse on PS4?
The freewheelin' mob killing
Dying Light finds itself in an odd position. With its last-gen version recently cancelled, and developer Techland touting a renewed focus on fluidity and polish, the parkour-‘em-up’s future feels slightly unclear. We recently went hands on with the title at PAX Australia, and – after being ushered
News Sharpen That Blade, You're Going Hunting in Shadow of Mordor's Next DLC
The bigger they are
By now, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor has won over the hearts and minds of many a player, so we suppose that it's the perfect time to reveal the title's latest slice of downloadable content, Lord of the Hunt. Promising hours of new story content, the DLC missions will see you team up with eager dwarf Torvin, as you hunt down...
News Wait, Did Techland Just Cancel the PS3 Version of Dying Light?
Next-gen only
Dying Light developer Techland has announced that the parkour-'em-up will no longer be shambling onto the PlayStation 3. The studio stated that it wants to focus on making a game which truly encapsulates the 'next-gen feel', and cited the technical limitations of the older hardware as the main reason for the reversal. "Much of this...
Review Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor (PlayStation 4)
That’s what we’re Tolkien about
It’s natural to be sceptical about licensed video games, and everyone has the right to feel this way about them, especially when a blockbuster-sized one comes around with a burden of expectations and hype to live up to, despite having a broad ancestry of mediocre releases. Of course, we’re referring to...
News Kick the Hobbit with This Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor PS4 Trailer
Looking sharp
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is like the little engine that could. While we were certainly excited for the title, its extremely positive reviews have sealed it as one of the must-have games in the already packed month of October. And in order to remind everyone of its existence, developer Monolith Productions has released a nifty new...
Round Up Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor PS4 Reviews Rule the Ring
Precious
Licensed games are, by and large, atrocious — especially when they're related to J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy franchise Lord of the Rings. That doesn't appear to be the case with Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, however, as the tasty tie-in has proved more Gandalf than Gollum. We haven't quite completed our tour through the fictional realm...
News Zombie Apocalypse Sim Dying Light Lumbers onto PS4 and PS3 in January
Brainsss
In theory, Dying Light should be a fantastic game. It takes endless zombie hordes and combines them with Mirror's Edge-esque parkour mechanics. However, the game is being developed by Techland – the studio behind the thoroughly ordinary Dead Island series – so we're reserving our judgement for the time being. At any rate, the open...

In the meantime, you can take a peek at the latest trailer for the title that gives a bit of insight...
News Batman: Arkham Knight Will Swoop onto PS4 Exclusively in Japan
Platform holder pounces
Capping off what must be a particularly rough week for Xbox’s team in Japan, Warner Bros has announced that Batman: Arkham Knight will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive in the Land of the Rising Sun. There’s no word just yet on whether this will be timed, but the title has been removed completely from Microsoft’s website,...
News Aww, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor's PS3 Release Date Has Been Delayed
More time to play Destiny
Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor's PlayStation 3 release date has been pushed back slightly, Warner Bros announced today.

Gamescom 2014 The Clouds Won't Clear in New Batman: Arkham Knight PS4 Screens
Brooding in the rain
Batman remained very much cloaked and undercover during Sony’s big Gamescom 2014 press conference earlier this week, but that doesn’t mean that the Caped Crusader hasn’t left a symbol of his ever presence. British studio Rocksteady has dropped a handful of Batman: Arkham Knight screenshots to remind you that the title is...
Gamescom 2014 Grow to Hate Shadow of Mordor's Villains With the Help of its Newest Trailer
You'll pay for this
In a somewhat surprising appearance at Sony's Gamescom 2014 press conference, upcoming Tolkien tie-in Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor shed a little bit of light on its narrative and its ruthless baddies. It's another short and sweet video regarding the upcoming action title, but we reckon it does just enough to get you interested...
Gamescom 2014 Kano Looks Killer in Mortal Kombat X on PS4
All brawn, no brains
As anticipated, Ed Boon has appeared in a new Mortal Kombat X trailer to talk about British cyborg Kano – and you know that he’s serious, because he appears in black-and-white. The rough and ready kombatant was leaked last week, but this clip gives you a proper look at his older appearance and three main forms...
