PES 2010

Want to take a shot at some of the best footballers in the world? Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series returns for some fantastic football action that puts you on the pitch to play with over 60 national teams and dozens of club squads, with both UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League fully licensed with the line-ups from the 2009/10 competitions.

With an enhanced Master League, 360-degree control and more gameplay options awaiting you, football is alive and kicking on PS3 - so don't miss out your chance to show your silky skills on the PlayStation pitch.

EyePet

The cutest, most loveable pet you'll ever see is about to make his PS3 debut in EyePet. Using the PlayStation Eye camera, the magical and mischievous EyePet will interact with you and your living room to deliver entertainment for the whole family. With the chance to feed, play and teach your Pet new things as he hatches from his egg and grows into maturity, there's tons of fun to be had with EyePet.

And if you fancy dressing up your Pet, there are a massive number of costumes available from PlayStation Store to make him look just the way you want, starting with the Lucky Dip Styling Pack which contains six amazing items of clothing and accessories. From butterfly wings to a wizard outfit, give your Pet a stylish makeover that will get everyone cooing.

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars

Take your PSP all the way down to Chinatown in the brilliant Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. Marking the return of the exceptional GTA series on PSP, Chinatown Wars follows the story of Huang Lee, a young Triad who travels to Liberty City after the mysterious death of his father.

Work your way through the streets in an epic tale of crime and corruption with a mixture of gunplay and driving with all-new story missions, delivered on widescreen graphics and with enhanced lighting and animation. Chinatown Wars is ready for you... so are you ready for it?
