Blast through some PlayStation blockbusters no adult should miss this festive season.
For the action movie fan...
No festive period is complete without some high octane entertainment, so PlayStation 3 gives you the chance to be the hero of the holiday season. Pick up a PlayStation Move motion controller, a PlayStation Eye camera and a copy of Time Crisis: Razing Storm for some pinpoint blasting for up to eight players. Add a funky PlayStation Move shooting attachment to flex your trigger finger with extra precision.
If you prefer to take your action back in time, then you'll find a brilliant selection of titles to enjoy. Fantasy buffs can leap into a world of Greek myth and legend with God of War III and God of War Collection on PS3, and then take Kratos' saga on the move with God of War: Ghost of Sparta on PSP.
Maybe 15th century Renaissance Europe is more your era? Then the beautifully artistic Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is sure to get your pulse racing in an action adventure of deadly intrigue.
Like things a little more rough and ready? Then take a ride down to the old West with RedDead Redemption, the perfect cowboy adventure for any wannabe gunslinger.
On the other side of the timeline are the futuristic settings of Vanquish and Fallout: New Vegas, both offering unmissable sci-fi entertainment.
For the seasoned war film veteran...
Go on tour for some blistering military action with PlayStation 3 that will take you all over the world without leaving your festive family behind. The mighty Call of Duty: Black Ops and Medal of Honor place you behind enemy lines in elite special forces units where nerves of steel and a steady aim are essential gifts in your arsenal.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 lets you step out from the covert shadows and into the firing line, blasting your senses with explosive missions and destructible environments to help you avoid watching the same tired old movies on TV with the family yet again.
For anyone who likes their action a little bit different...
PlayStation is home to many innovative titles and the festive season is the best time to explore what's on offer for PlayStation 3. Fans of suspenseful thrillers will find few games more intense than Heavy Rain, which puts you on the trail of the Origami Killer. And you can throw yourself even deeper into the action with Heavy Rain Move Edition which uses the PS Move motion controller and PlayStation Eye camera to track your movements in the game.
Sticking with PS Move is The Fight, a knock-down, drag-out hit of underground fighting which is also great if you want to work off any festive food overindulgence.
If it's a little chilly outside, Demon's Souls is sure to fire things up with its fiercely challenging quest which is sure to test any role-playing game fan.
For when you need action on the move...
Big action doesn't only come on the big screen. If your family wants to settle down and watch TV or you don't have time to set up your PlayStation 3, you can still enjoy some massive entertainment thanks to PSP. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories delivers a creepily tense affair that is sure to send a chill down your spine, while Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker challenges you to take legendary soldier, Naked Snake, on an epic espionage mission.
If you're short on time but craving a shot of some big action, then a selection of minis titles are perfect for you. Age of Zombies, Tehra Dark Warrior and Hero of Sparta all offer fantastic thrills that are ideal for a few minutes break while you're helping out with the festive set-up. Beat Santa to it and download them from PlayStation Store for a Christmas treat.
No matter who you're buying for, make their Christmas an action-packed blockbuster with PlayStation.
