Does whatever a spider can
Break through to the fourth dimension with Spider-Man and swing into his most reality bending adventure to date. Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions on PlayStation 3 features the iconic wall crawler in four startlingly different Marvel universes.
Each one features its own dramatically different tone and style as well as a wealth of Marvel comic book cameos.
Prepare for battle
If war games are your thing, then you can take your pick from a pair of titles out this week on PS3. For real time strategy fans, R.U.S.E. sees you assume the role of American officer Joe Sheridan as you aim to lead your nation's army to victory across Europe, Africa and Russia. And don't forget, you can get even closer to the action from next week with PlayStation Move features.
Take to the skies for warfare of a different kind in Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2. Using your finely honed reflexes, pilot your ultra-sophisticated aircraft as you seek to dominate the skies. Perfect for playing with friends or online, the game features four player campaign co-op and eight player competitive modes.
A feast of PSP gaming
