News Some Fans Think Remedy and PlayStation May Be Partnering
Quantum repair
There’s a strange story doing the rounds that PlayStation may be partnering with Max Payne developer Remedy on a new game.

Review Judgment - Top Tier Yakuza Spin-Off Tells a Superb Detective Story
The truth and nothing but the truth
SEGA's Yakuza Studio has done it again. The Japanese developer has been on a roll this generation, and it's apparently not stopping anytime soon.

News Cyberpunk 2077 Is a 'Whole, Full Value Game' with Expansions Coming After Launch
Just like The Witcher 3
We're big fans of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt here at Push Square Towers, but arguably some of its best content came later down the line. The base game is fantastic, but the DLC released by CD Projekt RED is outstanding too. The duo of expansions dwarf some full blown games on PlayStation 4, and they both have great additional...

News Sony Was the Third Most Popular Publisher at E3 2019, Despite Never Being There

Monstrous
Last year, news broke that the Resident Evil movie director Paul W. S. Anderson is busy adapting Monster Hunter to the big screen.

Thankfully, the below clip, captured offscreen at...
