Push Square: "Over two years after it was originally promised, DriveClub: PS Plus Edition is finally on the starting grid, waiting for you to give it a spin. The watered down racer comes with all of the features and functionality from the main game for free, but is limited to just 15 cars and 13 tracks from the Indian location. Of course, if you're new to the PlayStation 4 exclusive you may be wondering where to get started. Fortunately, we've got some tips."

Push Square: "Tour de France 2015 takes a relatively slow viewing experience and replicates it. It's not especially fun, but at least it's not utterly broken like last year's attempt. Those tempted should buy in the knowledge that you'll get exactly what you expect, and no reality-busting glitches or road-praising crowds. There's clearly been a lot of effort made here, and the game has improved massively as a result."

Push Square: "Ah, you can't beat a bit of people power, can you? For whatever reason, PlayStation 4 owners have started to create a Twitter campaign centred on the idea of a better PlayStation Network or, er, #BetterPSN if you're into all of that social media nonsense. It's not entirely clear what prompted the movement, but there have been some complaints regarding download speeds of late."

Push Square: "The glitz and glamour of E3 2015 may be over, but there's still plenty to look forward to on Planet PlayStation. Tuesday sees the return of the PlayStation Store update in full-force, and there'll be a tasty surprise for North American players, in the form of Shantae: Risky's Revenge on the PlayStation 4. This is the sequel to the Game Boy Color classic, which launched five or so years ago on the Nintendo DSi."

Push Square: "Ah, remasters: some loathe 'em, some love 'em. Whichever camp you fall into, it doesn't sound like they're going to stop anytime soon especially when people are campaigning for more to get made. SOCOM 2 is the latest target of fans, as a group of military aficionados rally around the forgotten franchise to get its second instalment ported to the PlayStation 4."

Push Square: "Sony put a big emphasis on games when it launched the PlayStation 4, and its laser focused marketing won the hearts and minds of gamers. But as its new PlayStation Vue commercial so astutely illustrates, just because games are the focus of the format, doesn't mean that owners are uninterested in photos, music, videos, and other kinds of media. It's a good thing that the platform holder dropped the PS4 Media Player during E3 2015, then but how does this new application actually work? We've put together a quick guide to help you to get up to speed with the overdue addition."
