See the Future of PS3™ First - Episode 10

Free mini, Prince of Persia review and Network Highlights!

FirstPlay episode 10 will be on the store from Wednesday, and this week it’s the last of our minis giveaways. The super-addictive sci-fi arcader, Aero Racer (worth 3.99) comes completely free with episode 10, and if you’ve missed any of the minis from our last three episodes – Echoes, Blast Off, Age Of Zombies – it’s worth remembering they’re all still available on the Store for just 99p an episode.

In this week’s videos we have two hands-on HD previews. The first is with Tecmo Koei’s meaty sci-fi shooter Quantum Theory, and the second is with NaturalMotion’s equally muscular Backbreaker, which is built using the same ‘puppet-with-cut-strings’ Euphoria engine that brought GTA IV’s characters to life and makes lining up big hits feel better than actually scoring.

We’ve also got a review of Prince Of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, as well as our regular round-up of Network Highlights, this week featuring a guide to the best of the Store, a round-up of the latest downloadable movies, and a top ten Just Cause 2 easter eggs. And that’s on top of our HD screenshot galleries, which this week feature what’s almost certain to be the biggest game of 2010, Call Of Duty: Black Ops, as well as blockbuster tie-in Tron and Enslaved.

As ever, episode 010 costs just 99p.

We’d also like to remind you that you can stay in touch with all things FirstPlay by following us on Twitter at @firstplay_uk and on our Facebook page: FirstPlay (official). We also have a YouTube channel up and running here
