Codemasters knows rally. It's been making rally racing games since 1998, with the original Colin McRae Rally on PS1 being a hugely formative title for the studio. The series evolved into the DiRT games, which itself branched into two — numbered sequels with a more arcade-like nature, and DiRT Rally, a more serious, simulation take on the motorsport. With 12 games in the bag, its next attempt, EA Sports WRC, is the first to bear the official licence.

Set two years after the climactic events of the original Final Fantasy VII, for gamers of a certain vintage, the 2006 CG film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was really all we had in the way of closure, if you can call it that. Visually stunning, if narratively nonsensical, it contained insane action sequences that are still incredible today. That Final Fantasy VII Remake largely succeeded in being a playable Advent Children is a testament to how good we've got things these days.

While most Baldur's Gate 3 players are still blissfully making their way through Larian's lavish and expansive world, others are taking it upon themselves to do the essential work of memeing its memorable cast of characters.

In the latest trailer for Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, protagonist Ichiban Kasuga describes his home town of Kamurocho as the “armpit of Tokyo”. During a recent visit to the capital, I wanted to see if the real-life location the virtual sandbox is based on lived up to that description. There was no point in visiting during the day – this nocturnal slice of Japanese life awakens at night – so I patiently waited until sunset before boarding a train in the general direction of Kabukicho, the Shinjuku district upon which the familiar Yakuza city is inspired.

Sometimes, you have to stick up for your dreams. And when that involves coaxing an aging action star into your violent scheme to protect your historic movie theater? Well, that’s just a bonus.

Visual Concepts came to an important but necessary conclusion with NBA 2K24: it needed to dial back the superfluous aspects of the series back. For the past two years, on PS5 specifically, the release’s popular MyCAREER mode has wanted to touch upon all aspects of basketball – including the cultural stuff, like fashion and music. This year’s game, however, is focused fully on the court, and as a solo experience it’s all the better for it.

Post-apocalyptic Australian CRPG Broken Roads is a title that's been percolating for a while now, and we got a release date trailer, but one that's sadly lacking regarding PlayStation information. The good news is that the title is still planned for the platform; the bad is that we'll have to wait a little longer to get our grasping hands on it.

Mortal Kombat 1 is the latest entry in NetherRealm Studios' long-running grisly fighting game franchise. This instalment represents a reboot in the release's timeline, with the events of previous entry Mortal Kombat 11 leading Liu Kang to create an entirely new universe in his image. In this Mortal Kombat 1 guide, we'll cover fundamental gameplay features and strategy, like complete character rosters and all Fatalities.

Arashi: Castles of Sin — Final Cut could offer PSVR2 players something appreciably full-bodied to slice into, with a new gameplay trailer showcasing the kind of ninjutsu fantasy that awaits. Aspiring shinobi can look forward to becoming one with the shadows from 16th November.

You can look forward to a huge Marvel's Spider-Man 2 blowout here on Push Square tomorrow, but for now, check out this new PS5 trailer all about the open world. It explains how you'll swap between playing as each Spider-Man, what optional activities look like and how you'll find them, and a hint at side quests.

Another State of Play showcase from Sony has now been and gone, this time sharing news for previously revealed indie and third-party games. A fairly low-key affair for saying it was only the second general State of Play livestream of 2023, but there were a few announcements and reveals to take note of.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is right around the corner (and we've got a bunch of coverage slated for tomorrow), but in addition to an excellent trailer detailing its open world, we got another outlining the game's Deluxe Edition offerings.
