@get2sammyb : thanks !

this looks interesting , i'd love to be able to play a real guitar instead of just my "authentic" (beatles) rickenbacker . I have one concern though regarding the coloured strings bit ; as I have trouble discerning different colours (colour-"blindness" if you will) I'm wondering if this would create issues similar to the ones I have when (attempting to) play Columns .

alternative sub title : "voxel this then?"

what about my de-bug console ?

if I were a kid , this wonder book stuff would be magical . having witnessed harry potter last year I was amazed ! ("grintendio!")

wouldn't buy any of them . feeefah , madden and netball will all be worth about 50p in a few weeks time .

zzzzz... could that droning voice be any more boring ? good job there's that (over-loud) music at the end to wake everyone up ( i mean , I'm at work for goodness sake ! )

blimey, some people on here need to lighten up ! what's the problem with wills wanting a pS4 ? and good for him to draw attention to the british games industry (probably to werther's original sucking Daily Mail readers that were not aware there was such a thing) i'm neither pro or anti royal but , being a british tax payer , I do go towards paying for them.

@Bliquid : indeed

@Shaolin : guess more people should consider the old adage ; "if you have nothing good to say , say nothing at all" - but that's the internet for you.
@Itachi : yes , some people cross the line - but that's the internet for you.

@Itachi
guess it's human nature - people passionately nail their allegiance to this or that ,it'll never change . personally (while not participating in it) , l enjoy the banter , so long as it is light-hearted .

hmmm... that third worker down the line looks a bit shifty (JOKE!)
seriously though , although acts of sabotage are extreme and cannot be condoned , I too hope employees are not being miss-treated (doubt these folks have union reps)

@Paranoimia : 100% agree with you

@banacheck : don,t you find that the excitement of anticipation often outweighs any actual event ? I do. Look at it this way - the party's over for our friends in usa , but for us it,s still a fortnight away , and that makes it all the more special . (Dr Bean voice) "that's what I think anyway".

in no particular order (except alphabetical) here's my picks

DRIVER ; SAN FRANCISCO
Athough I'm not a huge fan of driving games per se , the unique twist in this game was your ability to "shift"/teleport in to other drivers (thus taking control of their vehicle) . This is why it makes one of my top fives , oh - and blasting around the streets of SF in a 1970 Dodge Challenger !

PDC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DARTS : PRO TOUR
Discarding my "arrers" in favour of a move controller , I remember stepping up to the oche , taking on "The Power" in the final of the worlds , and beating him ! All this and superb commentary provided by the late great Sid Waddell , this is a sports game like no other . It truly is "like spooning mine-strone!"

PLAY STATION ALL STARS BATTLE ROYALE
Fighters don't get much better than this ! Really enjoyed this fighting game that featured a stellar roster of playStation characters ,game themed arenas and more signature music, than you could shake a fist (or stick if you prefer) at . Toro Inoue vs Heihachi Mishima ? Bring it on !

THE BEATLES : ROCK BAND
"..have to admit it's getting better.." and it certainly did when I grabbed my authentic Rickenbacker (controller) , became the fifth Beatle and joined the lads from Liverpool on a Magical Mystery Tour . FAB !

THE SABOTEUR
This game is up there as one of my favourites of ANY console generation. The setting in Nazi occupied 1940's France , playing as hard as nails Irishman Sean Devlin ,this game served up action and adventure aplenty ! After playing this , I was saying (in my best Irish accent) "me name's Sean!" all the time (even though , of course , it isn't !) . Back in the day (2009) I don't recall it getting 4 pushSquares (pushSquares original review scoring system) , but what a great (and under-rated) game !

@Wesker : as I understand it , these are pushSquare staffs personal picks ,in no particular order (other than alphabetical) . why would you want to put in to order another persons choices ? you don,t like 'em ? fine , just say so.

don,t agree with all of them , but still a nice list of generation defining games.

@rjejr : hope it's a case of "this is cool!" and not "changed my mind"
love to see shenmue on playStation

am liking these articles , but I don't get why people in the comments sections say "why haven't you [or why have you] chosen such and such a game?"
these are pushSquare staffs personal selections .
(it just annoys me slightly is all)

how can anyone seriously call this line up weak ?
I'd go for Injustice:GAU & Trine 2 .
Contrast and Sound Shapes also look interesting.
great article by sammy b BTW , informative AND humorous (just the way I like 'em).

that's amazing ! pS4's as far as the eye can see...

@get2sammyb
yes , i think i can just make out the PS symbol on the far left of the cars european number plate (the part where the country normally is displayed). also the cars mercedes badge is missing (probably to avoid legal/copyright issues)

@odd69
agree with you . what a crazy situation ,created for greedy eBay entrepreneurs . sick of reading the (tiny font) words "subject to availability"

that's phone not pnone (can't type straight - too excited !)

sf II ! even better ! just been doing a bit of research . the pnone number refers to the release date of the street fighter CABinet (30th August 1987) .

does this mean street fighter on pS4 ? hope so ! hadouken cabs ! that's great , i just called an operator ! ("take me to tower records!")

interesting warehouse pictures , hope the workers there have brushed up on the fork lift truck sections of shenmue !! ("driving a fork-lift is easy!")

this may have been asked (and answered) before , but does my (modest) trophy collection on pS3 roll over to pS4 , or do you start from scratch again ?

@drumsandperc92
admit it , you're thinking dinosaurs aren't you ?

video of the month , loved it !

@rjejr
disagree , something doesn't have to be exactly the same to be a homage , it just needs be similar enough to be recognised from the thing it's playing homage to .

looks quite good actually (loved op. wolf) . must pre order and get myself one of those figurines !

@get2sammyb
could be b/c there's so many desperate contemporary american citizens !
seriously though
i'd like to see an english civil war (1642-1651) cavaliers vs roundheads setting

@get2sammyb : nice ! '66 Toronado

besides fom Toro, I don't think we are missing much really .

"dog" of war ?

@JamieO :
you should put blue stinger on your "to play" list .
i often wonder had things been different we'd be on dreamcast 3 by now ,dreamcast was a really innovative console in its day . I mean , would we ever see a game such as "typing of the dead" today ?
same thoughts (if not more so) goes to the 3DO , always thought it was great idea to have an industry standard for games (like VHS was for video players) surely this would have been easier for developers .
still , big corporate business eh ?

@MorriganIsHot
why not ? it worked for roger moore .

@JamieO not meaning to take over your excellent review but... @Beaston61
nice one ! thought I was the only one who rated this game . remember the zombies in the shopping mall ? that swimming bit ? PEN-PEN !!? so good !
(worryingly , i think it was set 20 years in the future [2019] so only just a few years to go until THAT ending -LOL)

"clearly" a ps4 version is called for ,

don't get it either , but love Toro !

dead space

topical review for all hallows' eve ! personally , i think the cheesey voice acting and FMV are part of the games charm . however , I remember disliking res evil 2 (kept walking into doorways!).
best survival horror game ever ? blue stinger !

what the what ? the buttons have no symbols on ''em ! ( no more push[ing]Square ! )
they look good though - love to see a GTA themed one

I don't have a problem with this , in my opinion , retro games should be (and deserve to be) played on retro consoles.
also , why shell out all that cash on a ps4 ,then play games of yore ?

really nice ! trailer and screenshots remind me SO MUCH of another world (out of this world) and that , believe me , is no bad thing .

@get2sammyb
thought about that one but injustice pipped it to the post

something for all tastes on that list . personally i'd go for : ac Black Flag , pinball arcade and (maybe) injustice:GAU

@rjejr : possibly , but bayonetta's day one problems unfortunately single it out for oft quoted notoriety (fairly - or otherwise)

@rjejr : think article is refering to pre-patch bayonetta .
(haven't found pushSquare to issue false statements for sensalationisms sake)
