SingStar Dance, Crescent Pale Mist and Invizimals: Shadow Zone hit PlayStation this weekend. Read on to find out what all the hype is about.

War machines

One of the most eagerly anticipated games of 2010 has finally arrived on PlayStation 3. It's time to go behind enemy lines as a member of an elite special forces team in Call of Duty: Black Ops, the newest instalment in the blockbuster series and follow up to 2009's smash-hit, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Lock 'n' load and pick up Call of Duty: Black Ops from your nearest store this weekend.

Dance, dance, dance

Packed with groovy floor fillers, SingStar Dance on PlayStation 3 is the ultimate party game for you and up to three of your friends to sing and dance to. Featuring competitive games modes with PlayStation Move support, it's time to bust a move on the dance floor this weekend with SingStar Dance.

Take a trip to Leaf Valley

Grab your PSP this weekend and save Leaf Valley from the evil Funland Corporation in Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley. You'll have to grow crops, raise animals and mine gems to help save the Valley from being turned into an amusement park.

Become a hero this weekend on PSP and pick up Harvest Moon: Hero of Leaf Valley.

Join the hunt this weekend

Use your PSP in ways you've never thought possible in the secret world of Invizimals: Shadow Zone - it's bustling with hidden creatures that only your PSP can see. Use your PSP camera to hunt for over 100 new Invizimals - they're hiding in the real world around you - then capture them, customise them, battle with them and trade them with friends.

Stop the mist...

Take on the role of Yunou in the utterly insane Crescent Pale Mist, a hardcore action-platformer with a retina-withering retro look. Tense exploration and frantic combat are on the menu as you try to stop Toxic Pale Mist leaking into the real world.

Get stuck into Crescent Pale Mist at PlayStation Store now.

Wrestle maniacs

Define your own experience in WWE Smackdown vs. RAW 2011. The latest in the wrestling series features the most dynamic play yet, as the Road To WrestleMania story mode evolves according to the decisions you make in and out of the ring.
