Heavy Rain and White Knight Chronicles head up three exciting PlayStation exclusives.
Blame it on the weatherman
How far would you go to save someone you love? That's the question asked of Ethan Mars in Heavy Rain, the interactive drama exclusively available on PlayStation 3. When Ethan's son is kidnapped by the Origami Killer he is forced to fully explore this dilemma and all of its painful consequences.
As for the answer, that's up to you. As you take control of the four characters hunting the paper-folding murderer, your actions will decide how the story unfolds. Whether you forget to have a shave that morning or are killed in a scrapyard brawl, there's no going back, no game over and the branching story will evolve around your actions.
Stand tall
If Ethan Mars had the option of slipping into a seven-foot tall suit of armour, then he'd do well to take it. He can't, but Leonard can in White Knight Chronicles, the second PS3 exclusive landing this week. A meaty tale of a kidnapped princess and a hooded lord, this role-playing game from Level-5 features a deep and flexible real time battle system and innovative online integration.
From a white knight to a blue hedgehog in a sports car, Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing is the third PS3 release of the week. It takes Sonic, Tails and Knuckles, as well as characters from other SEGA games, such as Alex Kidd and Beat from Jet Set Radio, and drops them up onto the starting grid for fun and accessible kart racing. If you need any further convincing, check out the demo on PlayStation Store.
Knights of the living dead
Undead Knights lurches exclusively onto PSP, letting you create your own zombie army as the House of Blood seeks revenge on the tyrannical King of Cavalier. You can set your undead horde on the enemy, hurl them if you're in a hurry and even build yourself a zombie ladder if a wall is too high. And with three multiplayer modes, corpses have never been so much fun.
Welcome Home
This weekend, get together with three friends and say cheese for the White Knight Chronicles Photo Challenge. The PlayStation Home Events Space has been decked out with swords and sorcery in mind to celebrate the brand new role-playing game on PS3. Using a special camera function, take a snap of your quartet's fiercest pose and email it to home_photo@scee.net. The top five will win a limited edition, real life White Knight Chronicles statuette to scare away anyone thinking of kidnapping their princesses.
Here at eu.playstation.com, you can get your hands on a PlayStation 3 and an official FIFA World Cup match ball, in a wonderfully old-school game of spot the ball. And don't forget to get involved in the current Obsession Confessions discussion over at the official PlayStation Forums - just tell the community which minis you'd play if you had just three minutes to live, and you could receive a Voucher Code to download a copy of Tetris on PSP for your troubles.
